PlayStation 5 Price Increase Imminent Despite Incoming PS6
What happened
Sony PlayStation 5 hardware line-up, including PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro, is reportedly facing imminent price increases in Europe, with the Slim model rising from €549.99 to €649.99 and the Pro model from €799.99 to €899.99. The cited reason is persistent memory shortages and price increases affecting the PC and console gaming industries. Bullish: This signals sustained upstream memory component cost pressures and strong end-demand, likely supporting spot prices for DRAM and NAND.
