Will it? If they have no real competition, they could set the price they want. Because Nintendo is not an alternative and Microsoft seems to be aiming at other stuff that is not consoles anymore. And many people still think that a console is easier and less troublesome when you only want to play games (even though it’s not anymore the case).
Most of their games come out on PC now. We are not far off from some SteamOS based PC that works like a console. Sony would be crazy to think they can charge the same price.
The vr googles are a new product, so it could (and in fact did) flop. If you want to compare a new PS in terms of how could it be with the prices, you need to use the iPhones, that are already established in the market.
Same case: they offer a product that has a different ecosystem that only them produce and they can be considered without competitors (in the Mac /apple ecosystem) same as Sony would be if they had no competitors in the consoles market.
The problem is that at those prices, a PC is a more logical purchase. PS6 will have to be priced similar to PS5, or it will underperform dramatically.

I mean… Look at Apple. It’s not really that crazy to think that the next playstation will cost a thousand.
And what did happen to those apple VR goggles?

What does Apple or Apple’s pricing of products in completely different product categories have to do with this?
