According to the analytical group Niko Partners deliveries Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X will be much more modest than originally planned. Experts note that approximately 90% of consoles imported into the United States were manufactured in China. It is assumed that after an almost complete lack of production due to the closure of many Chinese factories in the midst of a pandemic, next-generation consoles at the start of sales may be available in a very limited edition.
The report also says that these numbers will directly affect the cost of devices – the price tag will be overpriced until the industry recovers from the influence of COVID-19.
“Insufficient component volume and logistics problems will increase the costs of manufacturing and transporting next-generation consoles, which are scheduled to launch later this year.” At this stage, it is unlikely that Sony and Microsoft will be able to set a price tag of $ 400 or less without significant loss. Game transfers, the upcoming recession, higher prices for consoles and crossgen games that will be released during the first year after the release of new consoles will not give owners of devices of the current generation the necessary incentive for an immediate upgrade, ” said Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel Ahmad.
Earlier on the issue of cost, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are another well-known analyst.
