I was never paying 450 for a PS5 so i'm certainly not paying 30 quid more. I can see retailers sticking to the 450 price point but saying "look guys we're knocking 30 off the RRP!".

If those are countries in which it was hard to find a PS5 then this is a dick move

On the other hand maybe the increased price tag will make it more easier to find one

Yep expect a lot of "sales" at the old price.

What's the incentive for putting it on "sale" if the PS5 will sell out either way?

I've noticed the PS5 is starting to remain in stock at a few online retailers in the UK lately. The supply/demand is starting to plateau a bit.

I'm more thinking about the holidays in a few months when everyone expects a sale.

I remember every Black Friday and Christmas you'd have "doorbusters" that were just full priced Switches pretending to be on sale.

Now at least the PS5 technically won't have to pretend~

Sony and Microsoft lowballed the price on both of these consoles to begin with and they've been kicking themselves for it ever since.

I guarantee these things would have still been selling out everywhere at $100 more to begin with because of the supply issues, then when inventory stabilized they would have knocked it down to launch retail and gotten a lot of good press out of it.
