Gamers may have begun to shy away from the now more expensive PS5. U.S. April data highlights a 30% decline in PlayStation console sales compared to the previous year. Before the impending Switch 2 price increase, Nintendo’s handheld extended its lead over the competition.
People who didn’t mind to pay alot of money bought the PS5 at launch. Those who didn’t buy it then, were waiting for the price to drop. Increasing it now is not going to get them much sales.
I probably would have bought one around launch, but they were impossible to get. So I bought a gaming PC instead - no regrets what so ever.
