PlayStation 5 Price Goes Up Again, Fortnite Seeing a Downturn # 487

Sometimes, there are those unfortunate weeks in gaming where it feels like the bad news just piles on top of each other, and this last week was almost the epitome of that, and for once, Xbox actually is not involved. But Sony, Nintendo, and Epic all took their swing at the crown. Sony announced major price increases for all formats of PlayStation 5 hardware with the PS5 Pro going up to a whopping $899 USD and the PS5 Disc version costing $649. Even the PS Portal went up to $249 as well. Should we be super concerned about what this means, gamers will be willing to spend on PS6? Or are we just in an extended bad period and things will eventually work themselves out? That's not all, because Sony also closed down another one of their studios Dark Outlaw Games, and the true depth of their dynamic pricing shows itself and it doesn't look great for those on the losing end of the big benefits. Plus, Nintendo introduces $10 off first-party digital games, is this another nail in the coffin for physical? Xbox had its Partner Preview event and could be introducing yet another tier of Xbox Game Pass, Epic laid off 1,000 developers as a downturn in Fortnite players, among other issues, affecting the publisher.
