Painfull times.
It is painful, especially when you look at the cost of the console and then cost of the storage. Admittedly you're moving pretty close to the bleeding edge of consumer tech with this but still!!

Surely its not that easy?
I have no idea perhaps it is, Are the cost of producing memory or a SSD all about the same regardless of size eg 128GB costs as much to make as 256GB or a 1TB one, but they just charge twice as much for the 256GB one?
Like I said I have no idea, anyone know?
thats my question, why? of course 2kg flour costs more than 1kg flour cause theres more product that needs to be grown, shipped etc, but with double the memory the 'product' is nearly the same X grams, i.e. its negligible, perhaps its takes 2x as long to make, 2x as dense, so they are slower to make so you're paying for time?Of course 256 GiB part will cost more than 128 GiB part.

In an earnings call last night, Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki said that despite worldwide semiconductor shortages, the company has "secured a number of chips that's necessary to achieve" the company's current production target of at least 14.8 million PlayStation 5 consoles in the current fiscal year (which ends in March 2022). "Regarding the supply of the semiconductors, we're not concerned," he said during a Q&A portion of the event.
That statement implies that Sony plans to make and ship at least 12.5 million PS5 units on top of the 10.1 million it shipped through the end of June (10 million of which had sold through to consumers by July 18). That production rate would only be about 4 percent faster than the roughly 44,000 units per day Sony shipped on average in the system's first 7.5 months on the market. That's despite a February statement from Sony Interactive Entertainment President Jim Ryan suggesting that supply chain improvements would mean "by the time we get to the second half of [2021], you’re going to be seeing really decent [PS5 production] numbers indeed."
Covid boost is still in effectSo shortages are expected to continue, driven mostly by demand?
I don't recall shortages on previous consoles while they were shipping their first 20 million units. Why is demand so great for this generation, which is pretty modest a jump?

I do feel like this is fair criticism and everything, but this is the same Sony we've had since the PS3. How many collections and remasters of old games were on that console that were first party projects or IP? Ico/Shadow collection, God of war (Collection, Origins Collection, and Saga), Jak and Daxter Collection, Killzone Collection, and Sly Cooper Trilogy just off the top of my head. This is the content business, and the most popular content has already been created. That's why all those movies that got released on VHS later got DVD and Bluray releases. Because people want them.They should have called PS5: PS4 Director's Cut. How come almost every big game is a remake of a PS4 game lol? Demon Souls, Spider-Man MM, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding ....
It's hilarious that Sony was all about generations in their marketing, but now it's all about remakes and director's cuts.
Any day now they're going to announce a Last of Us 2 remastered. It's pretty hilarious when you think about it.
Why doesn't MS re-release new versions of hits with new assets to show improved graphics on new consoles?
