This is due to the weak yen and I'm not sure why the OP didn't mention this.
Because OP wanted to paint PS5 as doomed

specially a $100 price increase out of nowhereYou people will defend anything Sony does. PS fans are becoming just like the Xbox fans you make fun of.
A price increase anywhere is not good.
i didn't, i only showed public perception about the price increaseBecause OP wanted to paint PS5 as doomed
Who is defending anything? The yen is super weak, do you expect the price to go down when the currency buying power is so weak?You people will defend anything Sony does. PS fans are becoming just like the Xbox fans you make fun of.

Bullshit.i didn't, i only showed public perception about the price increase

This is due to the weak yen and I'm not sure why the OP didn't mention this. The amount of people in this thread that don't understand Sony had to raise the price on the console to break even/ gave a slight profit is ridiculous. If you're ignorant of business then you shouldn't be discussing business.

If they dont profit you dont get the AAA games you want at the quality you want. It's that simple.
Why do you care about how much money Sony makes? The only ignorance is acting like a shareholder and not a customer. You can be familiar with the Japanese market and still not agree with the changes.
That’s why people in the comments on JP twitter are reacting the way they are.
I don’t care about any of that. It’s Sony job to draw people in to buy a PS5. Take the hit on price.
Oh, goodness me.I don’t care about any of that. It’s Sony job to draw people in to buy a PS5. Take the hit on price.
It's really not in this case.F̶o̶r̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶P̶l̶a̶y̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶ ... For The Shareholders
So isn't this about not wanting to take a hit so they can look good in the quarterly's for their precious shareholdersIt's really not in this case.
The price remained the "same", Yen went down in value. They should have taken the hit, especially in Japan.
Wouldn't count on this in the future. Nintendo will be absolutely ruthless at the first signs of a Switch 2 emulator.
Yen hit 160:1 a couple months ago, this is in reaction to that.
But Sony always had shareholders. What changed now? They always had these unatainable growth plans. Serious question.People keep going "oh it's inflation, it's the yen", when I'm sure inflation and a weak yen were factors in previous generations too from time to time. Yet we never saw SIE increase the cost of the console multiple times during a gen when they were.
So what's really changed? All you gotta do is take one look at the shareholders....
Bean counters?But Sony always had shareholders. What changed now? They always had these unatainable growth plans. Serious question.
Sony leadership is looking shaky as the jiggling fat rolls on a Concord characterIve seen copes where they hiked the price because of scalpers buying so many PS5s because of Wukong. I wonder if there is any truth to that? The first time theyre going to TGS in awhile, why poison the well and goodwill like this now?
of course not, this is blatantly ridiculous cope.Ive seen copes where they hiked the price because of scalpers buying so many PS5s because of Wukong. I wonder if there is any truth to that?
