Sony Backtracks on PS5 Holiday Discount After Trailer Edit

Sony initially announced a holiday discount for the digital PS5 Slim in a marketing trailer, but quickly backtracked and edited the video to remove any mention of the deal. The original trailer advertised a $20 discount, bringing the price down to $380 for a limited time.

Why Did Sony Backtrack?

While the specific reason for the sudden change remains unclear, many speculate that Sony might have accidentally revealed the discount prematurely. This speculation is fueled by the fact that Microsoft had already announced a $50 price cut for the Xbox Series X for the holiday season, potentially making Sony’s small discount seem underwhelming.

Is There Still a Chance for a PS5 Discount?

Companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are known for offering holiday discounts, so it’s likely that Sony will eventually roll out a PS5 discount. But, for now, the company is keeping its plans under wraps.

Other PS5 News

Sony recently released the PS5 Pro, a more powerful version of the console aimed at tech enthusiasts. However, analysts are predicting a challenging holiday season for new console sales in general.

Alternative Options

If you’re not interested in a PS5, Nintendo has announced Black Friday deals on Switch bundles and is expected to announce the Switch 2 in the coming months.
