So it will be:

Digital Slim $380
Disc Slim $425

Fred Meyer has confirmed the disc slim for $425
Digital Slim will be $380.

The lowest price they've been original price or not.

@NEStalgia:
Your takes regarding PS usually are a miss and hit, mostly the former one.

But Totoki has been working at Sony since 1987, he's the Sony Director, President, COO, CFO and Playstation Chairman.
So, he's basically a company insider, know the Company very well and has sufficient knowledge about Sony's IP's.

I think they couldn't choose a better replacement than him, he seems that will take Sony to higher levels.

@B_Lindz:

I mean, there’s an entry level Switch that cost $199, the entry level PS5 was $450 until the temporary cuts Sony is being doing this year.

It’s been almost 4 years since Sony released the PS5 at $499 and it’s at 60m . units sold without too many exclusives.

Games will come and the system hopefully will get a permanent price cut before the Pro releases.

@NEStalgia:

you're describing games like Palworld, not Helldivers 2 case mate.

There's a really high chance this will do more than 10m. units sold WW.

Still very weird to see Xbox Games on PS Systems.

Don't know if Unicorn results are good or not. Physical units are anywhere between 1k-3k.

I hope digital sales makes it higher.

Profits would be in the vicinity of around 13%.

What the article doesn't mention is that the Bungie acquisition (which IMO was a waste of money) is taken into account starting from FY2022, Sony even confirmed they were planning on paying the $3.6B in multiple quarters.

It's outstanding how much his statements blown out of proportion about first party games releasing on computers.

Now a lot of people are saying that PS Studios games will release on Nintendo and Xbox consoles.

Just acquired them already Sony!

@jFug:

The stomachs man, think about so many stomachs that will suffer with this news.

@cburg and @Drago201: This is Physical sales only.

@rjejr:

All retailers are having the same price of $449.

It’s a “back to school sale”.

The PS5 will be $449 at US retailers starting this coming Sunday.

Japan will be the only big region left without any temporary price cut.

@Rhaoulos:

Launch price was 449 quids, with the price increase it went to 480 and now is 399, still, cheaper than launch price.

@GuttyYZ: Yeah, I’m afraid so, digital only releases only will become more common in the near future.

It seems that a lot of people are underestimating the game, even on PS5, but the hype seems to be real.

Will there be a physical PS5 release?

FF7 Rebirth and Wolverine are scheduled for 2024.

I hope there is more, aside of Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin.

Numbers are fantastic for the number of PS5 consoles out there.

By next year ratchet will be close to 10 million units and Returnal close to 2-3 million units.

2nd place for physical only sales to me seems to be extremely good when:

1) This game is only on PS5 and the system has only been sold for about 4-5 months
2) It got beaten by a Pokemon game on a system with way higher install base than the PS5.
3) The % of digital copies would be higher than physical sales.
4) There are almost 8 million PS5 units sold WW, if this game does about 1-2 millions in the first month it would be HUGE for the type of game it is.

@Nkuk:

It's third after Spider-Man and God of War because:
1) Spider-Man released on September 2018.
2) God of War released April 2018.
3) The Last of Us Part II released June 2020.

GOTY for me, they improved a lot from part I.
We only know that the game dropped 80% second week on UK but not how much the game dropped worldwide.
Games like Uncharted 4 dropped 78% and God of War 71%, it's normal.
And no, this game didn't sell well because the hype for the first game, this game is selling well because it's an excellent game.
I know some people expected "The fantastic adventures of Joel and Ellie" but we got something more.

And just like every game, a lot of people didn't like it, but is a fools game trying to pretend that everyone hates it or that it is a disappointment because none of that is true.
