| binary solo said: I think it really depends on what happens in the US market between January and May. If Xb one consistently outsells PS4, because they make the $50 price cut permanent, which they will, then I see Sony going the whole hog and dropping to $299. They will do this because they know MS will easily respond to a $50 cut with another cut of their own to $299, and that will leave things in favour of xb one. In fact more in favour of xb one since $299 seems to be a mass market price, which means MS getting there first and having a holiday at that price point with Sony still in the >300 range probably means an even bigger sales advantage. But MS is highly unlikely to cut below $299 so if Sony shoots straight for that figure, MS will merely price match and that will almost certainly favour PS4. However if PS4 can regularly outsell xb one with a $50 price difference I see a cut to just $350 as likely, but with $299 specials on Black Friday. A 1TB sku would seem like a good bet too, at $399. |
^^This,
However i still feel like Sony would want to milk all the profit they can from the console, so a 350 after E3 would be logical, and according to microsoft the holidays are all that matter so sony will dip into $299 territory 4 months later in november for those holiday sales. While i agree this would be unwise, it just seems like something the profit hungry sony would do
