The court battle between Microsoft and the US federal trade commission brings to light new information about competitors’ products. After we learned that the new generation of consoles will debut in 2028, we have now received information about the estimated price of the portable console prepared by Sony. It won’t be cheap, especially for a typical PS5 content player.
According to the information provided by Microsoft in court, PlayStation Project Q should cost less than $ 300. This is still a lot, considering the fact that the “console” is to be used only to display content generated by PlayStation 5. Even if we take into account the unusual design and a very attractive, large display, it seems to be a prohibitive amount.
Of course, the above speculations prepared by the Americans have not been confirmed and justified in any way, which may mean that this price is quite overblown. However, I do not think Sony will decide to charge customers even more. I think they can sell this product even for a lot less to make people even want to buy it, because the first reactions were extremely mixed, not even negative. Some fans of the company are already disappointed enough that Project Q is not the rightful successor to Vita. There are voices that Sony has significantly accelerated the work on its device, when both Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally achieved market success.
