People would've had one already if they wanted one. They're not going to sell. I say this as someone who's owned every generation of them.
Really I just bought one and had no idea of the incoming price hike. I cannot wait to see what the PS6 is gonna cost. Winning

Looking on the bright side, maybe at $900 Sony will be able to offer PS5 Pro covers!

Price increase is wild. Nobody will buy it.
'on sale' prices will also be that much more, so I'm guessing thats part of the strategy here

This will kill the industry. No one will be able to afford these prices to game.

That already happened 2 years ago. Requires much lower firmware that what they now ship with.

There's always new gamers coming into the market. They routinely sell 16M+ consoles each year.
