i doubt the ps4 is going to be £399, especially when microsoft looks to be going down the cheap route, if sony wants the uk to become a playstation territory then i think they should launch at £350 and £399 for the premium sku


But if Sony wanted to price competitively, why did they create such an expensive console? 

Thats true, i think they made an expensive console to try keep on equal grounds hardware wise, like if there wasn't the rumor of the next xbox having 8 gb ram i doubt sony would try to match it 

That's true. If I were Sony though, I would have made a less powerful console to allow for the console to actually be profitable, or allow them to price competitively against MS. It would have still sold many units because the playstation brand is still quite strong in Europe and Asia. 

thats what they should of done, like sony isn't in the position to be taking risks and i would hate to see sony leave the gaming industry

I doubt that even Sony knows the price at the moment. Remember how the US price was decided for the PSone?

If I remember correctly Jack Treton went up stage and announced that it will be 299$, even tough the plan was to announce it at 399$. It was a fast decision, and that was pretty much all his speech: "299$".

Yeah, that would be catastrophic. "599$... err sorry, its 699$ but we are throwing in GT6 Prologue!"

Well too bad that Sony is not as flexible and risc taker as they once where, so no, we will never see something like that ever

It's a third party retailer with no inside information whatsoever.

It's a placeholder.

$600 would already be crazy.  Wasn't it annouced GT6 was being developed for the PS3 only?

Yeah I know, it would be suicidal for Sony. Seeing that they managed to launch the Vita at 250$ I doubt they will make the same mistake

ABout GT6, well I dont think that will happen, tough it could. I have to admit it that it is one of my lesser interests in the Sony library
