unless the price spike is due to covid 19 and situation at china which is, should also affected Xbox Series X and S

Wouldnt they have signed as agreement months in advance before covid to produce said product and they would get paid said amount, cost etc

 

[MDSLKTR]

Oh the fud architect is back. How do we hold them accountable for spreading bullshit?

 

[GenericUser]

well it probably depend on how they negotiate with supplier. sometimes if the material cost increasing, surely supplier also cant afford to eat loss.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I yearn for the day people stop giving this dude attention.

 

[Bryank75]

A line should be drawn. Him and that Italian dude and Tidux and many more are spreading false information that bring nothing but chaos and derail threads.

and Foxy Games.... where are those big acquisitions they were talking about!?

 

[iHaunter]

No way Sony is making the weaker console more expensive. My prediction: 449 and 399.

It's not about weaker, the PCIE4.0 SSD costs a lot more. People still do not get it.

 

[Garjon]

I don't think it's controversial to say that both of the consoles are very expensive to produce, possibly more than either company expected and that they would have to take a loss on each console sold to get them to a reasonable price point to buyers. Both companies will surely have targeted a 499 price point from the beginning, to not do so would be a huge own goal.

 

[PresetError]

So are we going to keep giving attention to this man regardless of previous false statements only because he is willing to keep pursuing clout?

Yeah, I don't expect them to take a loss on the disc one... 500 or 550 at the most is fine. The DE, I think they should try to hit 399 if they can but all we have is that Bloomberg? article to go on regarding BOM.

 

[Thief1987]

Guess we will see soon enough, god help this guy if he is wrong. It will look very bad after what he admitted the last time.

Oh he cleverly covered all bases - 600$ BOM, 549$ personal prediction, and 499$ if Sony go crazy. He can't lose with this "predictions" because PS5 99% would be 499$, but at the same time throwing some FUD just in case.

 

[GeorgPrime]

They cant go higher than 499. Otherwise people will just buy Xbox Series X

 

[Three]

Why are people giving this guy so much shit? He made a prediction on what he's heard replying to someone on twitter. It seems sound to me the prediction isn't even all that crazy.

 

[RCU005]

The most surprising thing about all this, is that people still believe this guy when he has already proved himself an Xbox fanboy.

If people believe him is because they love drama (or are stupid), I truly hope is the former.

 

[Entroyp]

Maybe the will go with $449 DE and $549 BD... one is cheaper than the X.

I hope not though.

 

[prinz_valium]

Did you see the update?

What?
70.000 YEN?



Series X is below 50.000 YEN

 

[Zato]

Don't trust liars who have already admitted to lying about shit.

Fuck that guy.

 

[quest]

No they won't lol. Not 1 sony warrior is leaving over 50-100 dollars at this point. Microsoft is going cheap on the S to transition gamepass members over and bring in new customers to the market not converting Sony fans. The console market lost a 100 million from last generation to this mostly casuals and families. They are hoping to get some of them with the S. The tablet and 99 cent games hurt bringing new gamers into the market. Microsoft is hoping gamepass and the S can change that.

 

[DryvBy]

When your source is a guy posting on Reeeee, you know it's trustworthy news.

 

[Spukc]

Why is the weaker console more expensive to produce? Bullshit?

you tell me

 

[TonyK]

If it cost 600$ the ps5....

I can say good bye and welcome to PC gaming

So 600$ is too much but 1500$ is fine?

 

[hemo memo]

Guess we will see soon enough, god help this guy if he is wrong. It will look very bad after what he admitted the last time.

Not really. You don’t have to look far on Reberto twitter account to find his last wrong/false tweets. Yet his next tweet get posted here as a rumor and GAF members supposed to be informed. Only GAF mods can stop this.

I know... they're gearing up I think.

 

[MrS]

He's an Xbox fan boy and can't be trusted. Fuck him in the wrong 'un.

 

[mejin]

He's a lot worse than those two imo. He does have some legitimate sources, so he hits some rumors. But precisely because he has this history he uses this credibility to spread FUD.

Some people are really gullible, so They hear and think it is true. The evil of the action is right there.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

This idiot has some Capcom sources and that's it. We really shouldn't be giving him attention like this.

 

[hemo memo]

I know... they're gearing up I think.

I really hope so. It is getting ridiculous honestly. Every time I see a tweet from a person with known record of false information:

 

[Silver Wattle]

Stop reading what this guy says.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Me whenever I see this clown attempt to beg for attention.

 

[oldergamer]

One hilarious thing is, why would PlayStation hold out so hard for so long just to price higher?

You could say the same just to match price

 

[Jtibh]

Septtember 16th.
2pm mountain time.
The day dustgolem retires.
Or gets run over by the hypetrain.

Win win

 

[oldergamer]

God his tweets rival trumps.
Tweets something
I didnt say that, what I meant to say was.
You're misreading what I said I didnt say that
Im not doing this for hits

Not even close to trumps. You guys are ridiculous . Anything to discredit an opinion or someone u dont like. Its honestly pathetic.

Im going to agree with his estimate. 550 to 499 for the disc version.

People forget that we have had two generations in a row where the weaker console was more expensive at launch for inclusion of features or hardware later removed. (yes ps3 was the weaker console and xbox one was weaker.)

Might not be the case this time but sony has always thought its brand was premium. Anyway two days away.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Not surprised that PlayStation 5 costs around $600 as it is more expensive to manufacture than Xbox Series X. If anything, this is a given. Dusk Golem is one of the very few PlayStation insiders that I believe along with Shinobi and Colin.

Since im buying PS5, im hoping for $500 for the Disc Edition.

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Both these systems are going to struggle mightily at $499. If Sony is thinking a penny over $500 they may as well not even show up. We've already seen this show with the PS3.

Lol tell me this a joke post?

 

[Portugeezer]

Weird timing for someone who doesn't know shit to say this, cast the net as wide as possible, keep going bro.

Why is the weaker console more expensive to produce? Bullshit?

Only reason I could imagine is the super fast SSD and better controller. But then they save money on the GPU, due to having fewer CU's, which is typically the most expensive component in a console, IIRC.

So it seems like it should balance out and match Series X price.

 

[semicool]

Report from Boomblerg says it cost $450

DuskGollem says it cost $600

One of them has to be lying cos both of them cant be right at the same time

One of them already proven as fud and banned from Era

Il leave it to you guys to judge and decide which one it is

Yeah but isn't Bloomberg owned by Michael Bloomberg?

 

[SuperGooey]

Anybody who knows Dusk Golem for his Resident Evil3 "leaks" know he isn't reliable and anytime he is called out for giving false information, he crumbles. Please stop giving this guy attention.

Also, Dusk Golem DID NOT LEAK RESIDENT EVIL 8. People credit him for that, but it was this person who leaked it:

No. They’re not going to price it $599 when the XSX is $499 and especially in this Covid situation. They didn’t wait for Microsoft just go above.

 

[Javthusiast]

Dude is baiting to get attention only to then later to say hey guys just a prediction breh.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

So 600$ is too much but 1500$ is fine?

i already have a laptop gaming... With emulators of ps2, and i can run Horizon Zero Dawn and flight simulator 2020 so i dont have problem with it.

 

[spons]

Dude is baiting to get attention only to then later to say hey guys just a prediction breh.

Just pretending!

 

[The Hamburglar]

You mean the guy who admitted to Xbox bias says ps5 is more expensive

 

[Northeastmonk]

I actually saw Dust Golemn in a Chinese warehouse putting together a PS5 with his barehands.

 

[_Spr_Drnk]

Anything more than $500 and we're in 3DO territory.

Anyway, fuck this Golem guy, they're a one person MS FUD machine.

Where's CBOAT when we need them?

 

[SaturnSaturn]

lmao didnt half this site suck his dick just yesterday since he was "leaking" that silent hill was in development, how the tables turn

 

[Alphagear]

Disk version will not be more than $499.

Question is how much cheaper the digital version. Personally I reckon it will be $50 cheaper.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Has dusk golem been wrong yet?

 

[onQ123]

No way Sony is making the weaker console more expensive. My prediction: 449 and 399.

PS5 is not weaker than Xbox Series X

Why is the weaker console more expensive to produce? Bullshit?

Show me anything that proves PS5 is the weaker console?

We are still waiting for Microsoft to show games running on Xbox Series X that don't look like games running on Xbox One X

 

[M1chl]

Why is the weaker console more expensive to produce? Bullshit?

I mean XB1 OG was more expensive than PS4. Why it would be bullshit, is up to choices what maker makes.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Yeah Sony isn’ts releasing a console for 599....

We’ve already had the PS3 generation, I don’t Sony will do the same thing. Especially since the only person who has really spoke about price is Cerny and from what he has mentioned twice is I think they know what the sweet point
