799€ here, 920€ with a disc drive. That is stupidly insane for a console. We're almost breaking the 1000€ barrier for an "upgrade", not even the new generation.

I'd bet my money Sony is just testing the grounds to see if they can set PS6 price in a few years over the 1k barrier.

There's little incentive to not go with a gaming PC instead, or to not just wait for the PS6 since I'm sure it will be cheaper

How are you sure? No one else seems to be...

Because Sony knows it won't sell if it isn't $600 or less. They've learned from experience.
