I doubt it. They bumped their prices in Japan not that long ago, and controllers got a price bump too. Japan might be more about currency, but their costs haven't decreased in the current economic climate for computer chips compared to the normal life cycle of consoles.

The Pro isn't just $700 because they think they can get away with it. I'm guessing it costs way closer than that to make than you think.

Yeah I don’t think it’ll happen soon.

Everything is getting more expensive and it’s the first time ever I’ve seen a price bump for a console released a few years ago.
