10 Ways Sony Could Ruin The PS5

2. An Expensive Launch RRP

Of course, the problem with matching the Xbox Scarlett's specs and boosting the power is that the price of the console itself will need to be hiked up. However, Sony's seen first-hand how disastrous a costly machine can be with the PS3. When that machine was unveiled with a lofty $500 price tag, pretty much everyone scoffed and went to buy the cheaper 360 instead.

Likewise, undercutting the competition was a major reason the PS4 came out swinging in 2013, and it seemed as though Sony had learnt its lesson in regards to pricing.

That said, all reports so far point towards the Playstation 5 being a pricey bit of kit. It being too expensive would be a huge mistake, especially considering it's only been a few years since Sony expected players to pick up the PS4 Pro.
