MODERATORS
We gonna bitch about 10 eurodollars and a cheap plastic stand that is completely unnecessary??
It’s cheaper for Sony to manufacture and ship yet it’s more expensive. Nobody should be OK with this.
Is it? Based on what? The article says:
There's no attribution for what they seem to accept as nearly axiomatic, that it's cheaper. What are they basing this on? I don't know because this article doesn't say, it seems to just be their assumption.
There has been a massive chip shortage and record inflation since the PS5 was launched. Not to mention that the original consoles were sold at a loss.
They may still be selling them at a loss, or possibly cost. But even if we assume that the unattributed "facts" are correct, and Sony is making a small profit after selling consoles at a loss for years, why would I be upset?
