Sony is waiting on the release of the Switch OLED to see if they can hike up their prices

Sony is awaiting the release of the Nintendo Switch OLED, according to a new report by Bloomberg, and its potential success could provide the Japanese company with an excuse to raise the price of the PlayStation 5. This would be a price increase of between PS30-50 (around AU $90) over the original switch, which cost PS279 ($300 - AU $449) at launch. A Bloomberg report commented on Nintendo's decision to offer the new Switch OLED console for $349.99 instead of the PlayStation 5, saying that Sony is "monitoring the market reaction to [Nintendo's latest] Switch OLED.". The price increase for the PS5 comes amid reports that hardware revisions are imminent, and whether Sony will consider raising the recommended retail price for the PS5 remains to be seen, but when it does, it is clear that Nintendo is taking a risky bet that consumers could buy the Switch OLED, which could ultimately affect prices across the industry.
