One of the biggest omissions from Sony’s recent PlayStation 5 reveal event was what you can expect to pay for the console when it launches during Holiday 2020. According to PlayStation boss Jim Ryan, the company is working hard on balancing the price, but is prioritizing value over its overall cost.
In an interview with the BBC (via Comic Book), Ryan noted the gaming industry’s resistance to periods of recession, but ensured that Sony was working on the right “value equation” for the PS5.
“Conventional wisdom and history show that our business is one of the more recession-proof businesses,” explained Ryan. “But I think this will sharpen our need to ensure that we focus on getting the value equation right. And I emphasize value as opposed to price.”
