Dusk Golem: PS5 costs around $600 at launch to produce

Did you see the update?
Fair enough, but it doesn't really change anything I've said, personally. I have my own reasons for speculating the BOMs & production costs (with everything like assembly, shipping and marketing factored in) could push total production costs to at least north of $550 (if not closer to $600) for both PS5 and Series X.
Just like how I have a good feeling Series S is probably selling at a loss of about $100 if not a tiny bit more with the same things factored in.

This guy really gets off on being a FUD merchant. Someone once said he was a member of an xbox related discord. Is that true?Did you see the update?

That guy was busted spreading fake insider info to destroy PS5 hype cause he felt the amount of „bad press MS is getting“ is not justified. He afaik was banned from that other forum for that, no idea why people keep posting this obvious non-news guy on here 24/7.
It wasn't fake info, he even doubled down on it. He did say he had motive but fake it was not.

Fake info....about BOM Well, that's just his opinion. But Bloomberg, which has far more insight in gaming industry and technology overall and it is far more reliable than Dusk said that PS5 BOM is up to 450$. And fact is, RAM price went down since then.
Anyway, as a response to Dusk Golem's production price costs

Why are you quoting PC part prices for? PS5 doesn't use the fastest SSD or chips. It's the controller and 12 lanes and 6 priority levels that make the SSD fast.

I know Sony or MS get parts cheaper, but still if you want to buy something similar on PC, then you have to pay around $300 for SSD itself. These next gen consoles offer insane price/performance ratio compared to PCs.

I still think they should price the disk model above the XsX. It makes a statement that it is a premium system. They have a fan base that is willing to pay for it. It will sell out for months with very few unique games available for it. How many people will really choose XSX over PS5 in the first year based on price alone?
You realize Bloomberg is owned by Michael Bloomberg right? Bloomberg is notorious for being an inaccurate news source.

Xbox has a strong presence on markets outside US and UK, like Brasil and Mexico, and even at some European countries, though quite behind Sony.

Nah, Bloomberg has some of the most valuable analysis out there.

He literally admitted that it was FUD and nowhere near confirmed nor did he have any sources. It was an act of desperation due to the heavy pro-PS5 movement going on at the time to smooth the tides.
You are only 1/2 right. You are saying multiple things. Yes it's true he was let go from being a mod on resetera for "insert any speculation here". Yes it's true that he admitted to having motivation (which you are mentioning) for what he posted but he also said that, how he explained it, that the info was still true from about the ps5 struggling at 4k with performance on Resident Evil Village from what he was told. He also said that he believed that the current performance issues would be resolved on the Ps5 by the time the games was released. That's different.

He said much worse than that about the PS5 version of RE8.
There be some highly intelligent discourse right there!

Why thank you kind sir, I do hope we can debate this matter further at a time of your next earliest convenience?
The guy is a liar, parades opinion as fact and then rolls back when called out on it.
Thirsty people in here climb over anything he throws out even though he has recent history of bullshit.
I do believe my previous post to be a more succinct way of stating the above and in a manner that cuts through the noise.
No, they shouldn't at all do that. The whole world is having economic issues, the pricing should respect that.

And like

for that one thing, Dusk Golem cannot lie for like Jesus they will not reward him for lying. However, he was not rewarded for lying on the Sony troubles either.

You mean he’s piggybacking off someone else’s rumor.
And? Apple is a shitty company with shitty products.
They are so shit, that they sell millions of products and have billions of cash.. all those shitty customers that buy those shitty products must be shitty people .
Well... they are not shitty people, but they are definitely not choosing to buy the product based on its merits. Ask any person on why are they buying a new iPhone, and their answer will be "just because".

Because 95% of the Android market is saturated with phones that have pre installed adware, shoddy build quality, rushed feature sets that barely work, etc...

Just wanted to point that a console being 499 or 599 is not that expensive considering today's market. I do also think 499 is the absolute max they should be charging.
Justin Bieber also sells fucktons. Sales =/= quality. Apple was once great, the best, nowadays they are overpriced mid-range crap. This comes from someone that has a full spec 15" Macbook Pro.
Your point is ? Other people can’t like stuff you personally don’t ?
Comes from someone with a i7 inch i7 MacBook Pro full spec , no joke .

Dude, I didn't say you couldn't like it, I said sales =/= quality, and then gave my opinion. You need to take a chill pill.

Maybe he saw the hype for the ps5 showcase so he wanted to balance the equation again
Even though Bloomberg said the estimated bill of materials is about $450 back in Feburary when NAND chips and gddr6 were high in price because of the lockdown in china and the uncertainty of the covid-19.

Bullshit. The fact that you are still choosing to believe that what he said about REVIII was "true" even after he has been called out and confirmed he had a motive to talk shit about Sony says a lot about you. Of course he would try to cover his hide and say that what he said was true since no one could prove otherwise and of course he would also try to cover his bullshit by saying that "the game would run fine when it gets released".How convenient!!
