Quote

Sony Interactive Entertainment in a newly published response to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) of the UK over Microsoft's proposed $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard claims Microsoft will raise prices of its consoles and games as it would face weaker competition from PlayStation.

(...)

It should be noted Sony and several third-party publishers and developers have raised the price of their games from $60 to $70 at the start of the latest generation.

Sony Interactive Entertainment also recently increased the price of the PlayStation 5 in most markets it is available. This includes Europe, UK, Japan, China, Australia, Mexico, Canada, and more.

Thoughts on the 549$ console/VR manufacturer + 240$ controller + paid cloud storage + 10$ next-gen upgrade + 70$ video game publisher?
