Replying to a post on Twitter that cited last week's Amazon PlayStation 5 price leak (which has since been refuted), Penello claimed "I believe in the saying 'never say never.' But I gotta say never. No way this console is over $499." The quote itself is interesting, especially as Penello is a man very versed in the games' industry having worked for Sega, EA, and, of course, Xbox. Clearly, he understands the console market and knows that - to stay competitive - console prices will likely be lower than many are expecting. However, its Penello's series of follow up statements that definitely introduce an interesting discourse surrounding the importance of pricing when it comes to next-generation hardware.

Sony could come out and price it at say 600 and people will go mad complaining it's too expensive etc, yet have no bother shelling out far more to apple every time an incrementally updated iphone comes out.
