Sony is still working out the PlayStation 5 price

It’s 2020 and at this point everyone knows that the next generation gaming consoles for both Microsoft and Sony will be launching this Holiday Season. While we know what the Xbox Series X looks like thanks to a reveal at the Game Awards, we still don’t know much about the PlayStation 5 such as the look and what the price will be for either of the consoles.

Today, Sony’s Chief Financial Officer, Hiroki Totoki stated that they have yet to figure out the full price of the PlayStation 5 as they are dealing with several known and unknown factors.

Here is what he had to say in last nights earnings call:

“What is not very clear or visible, it’s because we are competing in the space, so it’s very difficult to discuss anything about the price at this point of time,” said Totoki. “And depending upon the price level, we may have to determine the promotion that we are going to deploy and how much costs we are prepared to pay.”

It’s clear that Sony is waiting to see what Microsoft might price their next-gen console at with it potentially being the most powerful ever. It’s difficult to say what it could be, but looking to the past in 2013 the Xbox One was priced at $500 while the PlayStation 4 was at $400 which made a big difference right at launch between the two.

We assume that the Xbox Series X will be at a reasonable price and it looks like Sony is ready to compete with what they got.

Will you be getting PlayStation 5 at launch?
