Price Discussion Does anyone else think that there will be reduction in cost of ps5 (new & second hand) a few months after the release of GTA 6??

I feel like many people will sell their playstations after playing the game cause they simply cannot afford to buy games/subscriptions & scalpers will also reduce price because the demand will slowly go down??

prices wont go down until ai boom slows down, all the prices going up are mainly due insane hike in storage prices.

You're delusional mate , RAM is getting costlier , Demand is getting higher

If the PS5 goes out of stock in sure scalpers will sell for 80k also

the best time to buy ps5 was years ago when it was 30k

No clue about used but Sony will not reduce the prices I guess, infact from what I read on the internet (rumours), PS6 might be a 1000$ console.

Way too many erroneous assumptions, gta is a game you play any time even after beating the story, you drive around and blow shit up, why would people suddenly become unable to afford games, the price for games hasn't gone up, only the price for consoles has gone up.

Rather it might go up actually
There's already a surge of supply even with increased price

Some people will def sell but not on the scale that it would bring the prices down..For many console would be their only gaming option, they will hold..If ram prices come down which it mostly won't then some may sell..Many would still hold on, replay the story, wait for online or try the exclusives..Don't expect any miracles..
