investorplace.com
An extreme PlayStation Plus price hike has PlayStation fans gearing up for a potential Sony (SONY) boycott on social media on Thursday.

pleez lets BOYCOTT SONY plz

I bought a PS5 like 3 or 4 months ago from Costco… I’ve not opened the box or anything (for one reason or another) + I’ve got a rig, n am in the middle of putting a new one together) … I don’t mind not plugging it(PS5) in for another 3 to 4 months.

Shame 😔 on Sony

I’ll play my xiv (trial) account on PC 😂😆

    Not entirely. Sony doesn’t have the best margins on console sales. Sure, the PS5 hardware sales is technically profitable now, (used to not be) but Sony relies way more on game sales to make up for those thin margins and now it looks like they’re also trying to rely more on subscriptions, so the boycott can actually be effective.

      It’s not just Sony. That’s how game consoles work. They’re sold at a loss so they can make it up with game sales.

        Sony and Microsoft do this yeah, but I’m pretty sure Nintendo consoles are sold at a profit.
