If anything, they will go up.

I’d argue it is financially sensible if you want one. Current price may be the lowest it’s ever been, with increasing prices for RAM and storage. There’s only so much stock they have bought previously.

It’s not that expensive. It’s similar in price to PS5 before it got a price increase, and trades raw performance for portability.

The real expensive part is new price point for first party games and prices of SD Express cards.
