Why cut price to keep up with the switch this late in the gen? They gonna break 100+ million regardless and they better off making the extra revenue at the higher price while still selling reasonable well with all the competition. |
This is not for them to keep up with the Switch. This is to match their sales prediction of 16M for this year. They sold 18M last year, so they're allowed to loose 2M compared to then. But now, after just half a year, that gap is already close to 1.8M, so almost all of the buffer has been eaten up. In other words, the PS4 needs a pricecut not to compete with the Switch, but to keep up with it's sales from last year to match their own sales target.
