When reviewing the financial results for the past quarter, Hiroki Totoki, director of Sony’s operations department, mentioned the difficulty of collecting profits during the PlayStation 5’s life cycle when compared to previous generations due to the increase in the prices of manufacturing parts instead of the decrease that companies were counting on to raise the profit margin from selling units.
The leaker Kepler, who specializes in the technical aspect on the X/Twitter platform, mentioned in a new tweet that the situation in this aspect will become worse with the spread of new types of semiconductors, indicating that the next generation of home appliances will not provide the required technical shift from the current generation, or that companies will risk raising the price. Prices increased significantly to achieve this shift.
