And, taking advantage of the recent question and answer session with investors, someone asked the directors of the company about the possibility of raise the price of ps5whose standard version remains at 499.99 euros and the Digital Edition costs 399.99 euros.
“On the possible price increase of PS5, right now there is nothing specific i can share about pricing“, reply Hiroki Totokichief financial officer of Sony (via VGC).
