Just curiuos with the Ps4 getting a price hike in Canada will it effect your decision when buying a next gen console? Considering every retailer in Canada has been sold out since launch and the average person couldn't get a machine in the last 4 months this kind of seems unfair to hike the price up before the demand is met.  I myself may actually consider buying a xbone before a ps4 now because of this.


It shouldn't effect anyone's decision.  If you read into the situation, you find that the Canadian dollar has fallen in value, against the American dollar since the launch of the PS4.  Meaning, Canadian's have actually been paying less than the BOM for the PS4 for at least a month.  Currently, the Canadian dollar is worth 90c to every 1 American dollar.  Until the hike, they were paying ~$360.43 (US) for the PS4.
