Not long ago, it was reported that the starting price of Sony PS5 (no optical drive version) was 399 euros, which was the same as when PS4 (500GB hard drive) was released. Taking into account the recent news about Lockhart (Xbox Series cheap version) frequently appeared, I believe that the price of Microsoft's new host will not be outrageous.
However, as previously analyzed by the outside world, although the price of the machine does not increase, the problem is that the game will become more expensive.
This discovery should start with the just announced "NBA 2K21". Players noticed that the sale price for the Xbox Series X and PS5 platforms is $70, which is $10 more expensive than 2K20.
In response, IDG Consulting’s CEO Yoshio Osaki commented that not all games can be priced at $70, and 3A games like NBA 2K often provide higher value.
He also analyzed that the last price adjustment for console game software was in 2005 and 2006, that is, for PS3 and Xbox 360, from US$50 to US$60. Over the past 15 years, the cost of game development has quadrupled. In fact, you see, from $60 to $70, but only 17%.
