Many fans wonder: How much will the Playstation 5 cost? Sony is silent and dealers apparently set prices arbitrarily for the PS5.
- Danish and Canadian traders take pre-orders for PS5 .
- The prices differ significantly.
- Sony still does not comment on the price of the Playstation 5.
The release for Christmas 2020 is getting closer and Sony has not yet commented on the price of the PS5 * - the same applies to competitor Microsoft and its Xbox Series X *. Nevertheless, online retailers in Denmark and Canada are apparently starting to pre-sell.
Alleged PS5 prices fluctuate between 360 and 940 euros
Since they do not have official Sony prices, they are currently quoting apparently contrived prices. On the Danish website Føtex, users can reserve their PS5. The price of 6,989 Danish kroner will deter many of them. Because in these correspond to about 936 euros. According to the website, it should appear in November 2020. While the price is probably intentionally set too high, the release is likely to be within the realm of possibility.
Fans can also reserve the Playstation 5 on the Canadian website PlayNTrade - limited to two consoles per household. The PS5 was initially listed with 559 Canadian dollars (approx. 359 euros) . In the meantime, the price information on the website has disappeared. While the Danes are probably asking too much, the Canadian price is likely to be below the official one.

Corona virus delay PS5 and Xbox Series X?
It is assumed that the Playstation 5 will probably cost around 450 euros * at the market launch at the end of 2020. Earlier reports said that even this price was still too low for Sony. The group has problems to reduce the production costs below the 450 euro mark.
How much the PS5 will really cost in the end is still in the stars. Sony drives a very silent course. In mid-March the group officially presented the hardware data of the Playstation 5 * for the first time. At first glance, these are somewhat leaner than those of the Xbox Series X.
Both next-gen consoles are expected to be launched around Christmas 2020. However, the Sony and Microsoft corona virus could put a spanner in the works. Some analysts even expect the start to be postponed to 2021 *. If the devices come later this year, a shortage of supply due to the corona crisis is likely.
