In the financial results released this week, Sony also clearly reported how thePS5 price increase did not have negative effects on salesalthough the company has also reported that it needs to monitor the market to assess what to do in the near future.
Despite a 49% drop in revenue and also a drop of 2 million PlayStation Plus subscribers, hardware sales have gone very well, so much so that they have not had any negative effects on the PS5’s price increase, which has now reached 25. millions of units sold.
The matter was clearly reported by Hiroki Totoki, CFO of Sony: “Regarding the impact of the price increase: so far, we have not seen any reduction in demand given by the PS5 price increase, but we will have to monitor what happens. on the market moving forward “.
The CFO’s statement obviously expresses satisfaction for sales that obviously have not been affected by any reduction due to the price increase in almost the whole world, but the idea of a possible change of course in the near future, depending on the market trend.
Obviously, if demand were to remain this high, Sony is unlikely to consider a price cut for PS5, but if it doesn’t, it seems the company is eventually open to reviewing product prices. As long as the demand continues to exceed even the availability of consoles on the market, however, it is very likely that the cost of PS5 will continue to be the current one, or 550 euros in Europe.
The price announced also for PlayStation VR2, on the other hand, shows that Sony is not very afraid of proposing rather high costs to the public, also considering that a price increase on a console two years after its launch on the market is an event. virtually unprecedented, but it had no negative backlash.
