What do you reckon? Will Sony get down to that price in time for the Holidays in 2015, or will they try to get in another whole year with a good profit margin on the hardware and wait unti 2016, with maybe a $50 cut in 2015?

I say PS4 will be $299 in Oct or Nov 2015.

I think the price will get cut in 2016, along with the new, slim console.



299? Nah i don't see that.

Maybe 350 by next holiday.



Praise the One.

That's a very good question. I would say late 2015 but lots depends on Sony's momentum in 2015, Xbox One sales in 2015 and possible further price drops from MS...

They will likely cut it to $299 when they launch the PS4 slim, which will likely be a selling point come holiday 2016. No need to slash the prices during 2015 when you have huge games coming out to move consoles.



It might somewhat depend on whether Sony really wants to put the boot into Xb one and Wii U, or whether they are happy to merely be the biggest globally by a substantial margin and be roughly even with Xb one in the USA. If they want the be at least somewhat dominant in the USA then $299 will have to come in 2015, because guaranteed Xb one will be officially $299 some time in 2015.

2016 at the earliest I'd say. Next holiday I could see it being $349 but $299 will take a long time



349/399$ bundles 2015
299$ new "slim" sku ~mid 2016 (but anything form late Q1 - late Q3 is possible for the new sku)

Ofc i talk about the normal MSRP. Retailer deals and special promotions will hit the 299 pricetag way earlier (Black Friday 2015 as example)



$299 PS4 price cut announced at Gamescom '15 . I'm calling it now. Gamescom is where they introduced the PS3 slim in Aug 09. Slim will be the following year with a cut to $249.
