There is almost no reason not to wait. Hell, I'm rocking a PS4pro with a decent back log to keep me busy until PS6.
And to boot, PS5 virtually has no must-haves at this time, and is mostly relying on remasters of games that don't need a remaster
PS3 was already near "good enough", and PS4 was definitely the golden era. From now on we are just going to be disappointed over and over again.
Or they are just a troll.
As for Sony raising the price of the PS5 in the US market, considering they've raised PS5 MSRP in basically all other markets recently - I think they'll do the same in the US if they have to. I can't recall any console manufacturer in the US ever upping their MSRP after launch until Microsoft did it a few weeks ago, but you get what you pay for in elections.
Also while looking into this, thought these console launch prices were interesting for comparison, you can adjust for inflation on your own:
1990: SNK NeoGeo - $649
1991: Philips CD-i - $699
1993: 3DO - $699
gf has ps5 slim downstairs I got the pro upstairs. me? I only play on pro. do I see a diff? eh I got an 85 inch tv, and no. but its clean, super clean, I like it. good enough for me. when ps6 comes out, I'll give pro to her and il get a 6 and cycle continues.

Same here. PS4 Pro with SSD internal is a better value for the $.
