Series S being sold for $220 and Sony can't put PS5 under $400? Can we call bullshit?

He's complaining about them using data for AI like that's rich I'm sure he's using our data for the same thing on twitter
PS needs to make money because sony is not a triple trillion dollar company, therefore they can't just randomly make price cuts.
They don't need to make price cuts they'd survive if they did but ps5 is desirable
We heard ps5 disc model was turning a profit back in 2021 but a lot has changed sense than including high inflation and increases in sourcing some material. They are saving money on a little less material cost, manufacturing only one model and logistics with the revision but inflation is still significantly cutting into cost.
There is no PS direct in Ireland...not sure if we can use UK one.
Sony is already selling their console at a loss and the cost of making it (components, shipping) kept rising, unlike in previous generations where over time costs when down, which allowed price cuts years after release.
So the more consoles they sell, the more they lose with hardware. And they are selling a lot of them, so that is affecting SIE/Sony profitability, so to apply a price cut would make things even worse. They prefer to keep the price as it is (after they rised them some time ago) to don't affect more their profitability.
Unlike Microsoft, Sony wants to have a profitable gaming business. MS doesn't give a fuck about profitability and don't sell a shit, so they price cut it desperate for attention. Other than that, some retailers sometimes do isolate discounts to clear stock selling it cheaper, which can be the case linked in the OP.
Why would Sony want to lower the price of the PS5?
Unless they're piling up unsold consoles, that's just a bad business decision.
It's still much cheaper to get a PS5 than to build a PC with similar gaming performance, so that's probably why they're not lowering the price anytime soon.
