Seeing how the PS5 is still selling for $800-$1000, Sony should have sold it at $1000 & people would be buying it

They are too expensive , should be competitive for Samsung and iPhone premium users to give it a try.
Probably they should come with a Fan Edition .

Microsoft's XBOX is more-or-less dead outside of the States, and Nintendo is its own unique thing - almost like the Apple of gaming so-to-speak. Nintendo is an ecosystem, where gamers buy a Nintendo console to predominantly play Nintendo games (1st party), whereas the PS4 it was much more balanced, at about 50% 3rd party and 50% 1st party.

They see something that is 50%/60% cheaper product, it registers as value for money for them. Like how those knockoff NOKlA phones (l = small L) took off because muh TV function despite the java os being so unusable I can't even install Opera Mini.
Now those companies lived on and are selling rebranded Android phones.

If the smartphone hardware really had the ability to do it, then Sony would've obviously done it long time ago. But it cannot.

But having been given the lead why not tie in exclusive support for Xperia phones with the PSN? Why not offer additional cosmetics for PS games, or something else. Just something to justify to their gaming customer base to go with a sony phone.

I'm a fan, yeah, but at least they don't put holes in their displays. At this rate, soon we'll see a "global shortage of holes for displays". What a dumb trend. Motorized or UD are the best. If I had to make a choice, I'd never go with any of those brands that prefer holes and notches, expecially the fruit and the koreans.

If only they could fulfill the demand on mobile phones. Xperia 5 III Wasn't available in most markets during that financial period. I actually ordered it in another country.
It is so sad they report declines, while being out of stock.
