>Sony sells consoles at a loss and makes it money on game sales etc.

So you are saying that they are engaging in anti-competitive practices. Also at $500, it's unlikely a loss.

Pretty sure it's 550 now, price went up a while ago.

Ahh well, at that price point, I guess one can just get a similar new PC with way better spec - e.g. intel 12400 on 660B + amd 7600xt + 32gb ram + 2TB ssd + case/psu is around $600 new, entirely retail (newegg) price. It does not include keyboard/mouse/gamepad, but thing has 44GB of combined memory (compared to the 16 of ps5). It's a pretty decent machine for everyday use.

Selling something at a loss to make money elsewhere is not inherently anti-competitive in many locations. Depends on where you are.

>Depends on where you are.

The filed case is in the UK. So there is that. It applies to the EU as well.
