Sony increases price PlayStation 5 to ‘challenging economy’
According to Massaschade & Consumer, the most popular games for PlayStation 4 and 5 are almost half more expensive in the digital store than as physical discs. According to the organization, this is because digital versions of PlayStation games can only be purchased in Sony’s own webshop, the PlayStation Store. The lack of competition in the sale of games for the popular game console would give Sony the opportunity to charge extra high prices.
The first session will probably take a while. He will “take place later this year,” said the foundation.
