How much do you believe the PS5 will cost? I say around $499 to $549.

I can tell you this much, I most certainly will not be paying $1,000 for a home console! I'd rather build a new powerful PC with that kind of money.

All jest aside, I'm sure it'll be $500 PS5 and Sony did say they want everyone able to afford PS5 for a fair price.

For the specs I think $499 will be some fair but no way I think its going to be $399 for all the power you are getting in the ps5.

$499.00 and Sony will probably lose around $100 a console.

I’m guessing 500. With the tech they are putting in this time around, I wouldn’t be surprised if they lose money at 500 per console. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more. I’d like to be wrong though.

Well if they want everyone on it and off the ps4 like they said, could be more of a loss. Which I wouldn't complain about.

I might depend on how much next Xbox costs, and vice versa, if their two consoles are more evenly matched in terms of capabilities then pricing might be either's more compelling reason to get one over the other. Not like either haven't launched their consoles at a loss before.

Sony execs are signalling they're aware the platform needs affordability to transition/persuade PS4 owners to buy PS5s. So I'd say $449 - $499.

I think both PS5 and Scarlett will be $499 USD. I’m fine with this price point especially if they are going to be as powerful as they are appearing to be.

If they want it to sale even close to PS4 level it must have a. very appealing price.

Yeah I'm also thinking 500 at launch. It's hard to say without a fuller read of the specs but i don't think they will want to go above 500.

Anything less than $599 won’t be worth a damn. Early rumors and 5700XT performance don’t leave me very hopeful for a big graphical/performance jump. Next gen will be super meh

Sony may "Pull a 2006" with the Playstation 5. $599.99 for the PS5 pro version. In addition to the $499.99 for the regular PS5. Apparently Sony is releasing the Base and Pro PS5 Sku's at the same time.

With all of the promised Tech in the PS5 including full B/C with PS1/PS2/PS3/PS4. Having Ray tracing, Solid state drives with almost zero loading times. The regular PS5 Sku could feature a tiny 500GB HDD While the PS5 Pro could feature a 2TB Solid State HDD. Built in tech for PSVR 2 and forward compatibility for 8K. etc The Playstation 5 will be expensive. I would like a $400.00 price point but in 2019. That is not likely.

More than $1, but less than $1000... Probably 500USD at launch.

I've been thinking $500 for a while, but if the Sony cartridge based storage stuff is true, I wonder if they'll sell a lower storage version for cheaper.

I don't like multiple SCUs but it's been done before so who knows.

Multiple SKUs mostly never works out.

I feel like the storage is going to be too small. Playing games off an external will have greatly increased load times. If they have an option for more storage it's going to be pricey.

ITs could be over $1,000 and still be the deal of a lifetime for all the world class gaming to be had.

I'll be surprised if it's more or less than $500.

More and Sony knows it's too expensive to get enough sales.

Less and they're either selling at a loss or releasing an under-powered shitbox.

One thing I know: I'll be waiting as long as possible to pick one up. Day-one purchases can and will be considered beta hardware. Even if they don't release a mid-gen upgrade, there will be hardware revisions making the system quieter and more power-efficient.

They're especially talking that they want this console to reach a wide audience, fast. Can't do that going over $500. Maybe they might aim a little lower.

To reach a larger audience it would have to be $400 anything over it. It will most be for the hardcore.

Xbox One X, the most powerful console today, has a base price of $500. Sure you can get it cheaper on black friday... but anyway... how the hell can Sony/Microsoft sell their next gen consoles one year from now for $400. That is the base price of a PS4 PRO today. Next gen consoles with at least twice or tripple the horsepower of the Xbox X, packing more expensive SSD drives... no way.

Maybe Sony will think of something. Release it without a disk drive, sell it separate to drive cost down lol.
