Sony is set to raise the price of the PS5 in Japan by 13,000 yen on September 2, marking the third price increase since its launch.
Critics note that while typically consoles decrease in price over time, Sony's repeated price increases highlight ongoing issues with global inflation and currency trends.
Despite a reported 27% decline in PS5 hardware sales year over year, lifetime sales have exceeded 60 million, indicating strong overall demand despite the rising costs.
With speculation on a PS5 Pro release expected later this year, prices could range from $600 to $700, potentially signaling a shift in Sony's pricing strategy.
