So what exactly does a thousand dollar product look like? Well, for one the system would need to combine several of Sony’s products and services into one. For example, if the PS4 was six hundred, but it came with a Vita and games for each, people would buy it. For the PS5, we would need to see a all in one entertainment device that goes with us. It needs to be portable, it needs to be powerful, and it needs to be overwhelming in its breadth of features. People will invest in a product that they believe justifies the cost and even with a thousand dollar price tag the PS5 would still sell with the proper feature set.

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

Oh wow. A site dedicated for PS5 already lol.
I already have a PS5 and Xbox 4, it's called a high end PC.
While I won't get into all the things wrong / stupid about this article, I will say that I believe $1,000 is well past the maximum people will pay for a console regardless of what it features and I believe this for a number of reasons...
1) A good number of consoles are sold during the Winter Holidays and similar events, which I doubt many parents / friends / lovers would be okay with paying. I mean, even the $400 for the PlayStation 4 is no doubt too steep for many to pass.
2) Not worth it for most trend setters. Similar to how people are worried about the Wii U's future, I doubt many people would be rushing out to spend $1,000 to play ANY game currently out in this generation. I know this is a bold claim, but there are people complaining about paying $400 for a console getting games they don't think are worth it, so do you really think that would change with a 250% price increase?
3) It would be poison for a retailer to stock these. A lot of people seem unaware that shelf space has a lot of value to retailers, which is why they will quickly discount / sell off collectors editions. The same will happen with a console costing this much, as people will just wait for a discount.
4) Finally, I think many people would be afraid of downscaled games. Since the system has this absurd price, I doubt we will see many supporters, especially if something is significantly cheaper. If something is cheaper, then even with the power to easily do more than the weaker system, companies simply won't invest as much as it isn't worth it in their bottom line. This would make the extra cost / specs moot, as you're simply not seeing the results for your money.
This one of the most illegitimate-looking websites I've been to in a while. It looks like one of those pages you end up on if you keep clicking through those "How to last longer in bed!" links.
They would pretty much have to guarantee that the console would be around for 20 years+. They would have to give a 10 TB HDD, all games would have to run in 4k or better resolution at a minimum of 120 fps. Plus it would have to be fully backwards compatible for me to spend a grand, my guess is they stay right at the sweet spot of 400-500$. Cause if they didn't give all those things I would wait till the price was severally reduced.
