Host hardware is designed to balance cost and price, striving to provide as much value as possible.The design of contemporary hosts also adheres to a similar concept, but this usually means that the host itself is often sold at a loss.

According to a reliable whistleblower, PS5 is still selling at a loss until now.

It is no secret that the PS5 was sold at a loss when it was first launched in 2020, but Sony later revealed that the console has begun to make profits.

Kepler, a well-known whistleblower, said that as the prices of components used in PS5 rose, the profit quickly turned into a loss.These components include GDDR6 memory prices and rising costs for TSMC wafers used to manufacture PS5 SoCs.

Sony did raise the price of the 2023 Slim version of digital console slightly to $450, but the PS5 seems to be at a loss right now.One of the reasons for the loss may be related to Sony's insistence on using the same process node on the latest PS5 SoC.

Kepler, on the other hand, said the $700 PS5 Pro is "slightly profitable"; he also noted that the profitability may be similar as the Xbox Series X's smaller SoC size and its recent price increase.

Of course, Sony will eventually make a lot of money from each PS5 through accessories and sales games, but this generation of consoles does show an interesting trend.Nintendo has even raised the price of the nearly ten-year-old Switch recently, so Sony may eventually follow Nintendo's approach and further raise prices in pursuit of profits.
