It's kind of tough with Sony I figure. They can't afford to be as sharkish as MS and price their consoles at next to nothing all the time without it eating at the profits they're just now getting back. I think they're more concerned with MS as a competitor over Nintendo, since both companies are direct rivals with similar HD boxes. The Amazon thread won't be as lively with Sony not really wanting to complete in price wars, and Xbox dying on the vine. I guess they're at a place now that whatever happens, happens, since they have a metric ton of systems out there already.

I feel there should at least be some effort to move the PS4 toward $249 at least though.

Eh, there's still no need for doom-and-gloom over a few lost Amazon sales. They are smart to continue making money. If the PS4 wasn't selling as intended, they'd do something about it. That's how business works.

 

Meanwhile the limited edition Monster Hunter bundle is already sold out. They probably made at least 100K of them, maybe more. Which means January is pretty much PS4's month. People jump to conclusions based of Amazon charts.

And as i mentioned before, 3rd party sellers are selling the standard model. We won't really know how it's performing for awhile on Amazon. They have it in stock, but people aren't going to search for it. SW bundle nobody really wants. Sony needs a WW2 bundle.

Ps4 is being crushed, 299 in its 5th year is just to expensive.

Obviously, Sony is not too worried about it. If $299 was such an issue, they wouldn't have just come off their best year yet.

PS4 was discounted a lot throughout the year.

But according to the charts its beating the Xbox One?  Are you saying Xbox One isn't in contention at all?  I mean are you only comparing it to Nintendo's performance.  Can you give me some context?

IIRC, most of the discounts were coming from Amazon while the rest of the retailers which hold a much greater marketshare kept the PS4 at MSRP. There was that one time where Sony officially discounted the PS4 temporarily in June.

On Amazon? There was a quick discount in June and $199 for Black Friday. There weren't any substantial discounts throughout 2017.

Indeed.

What? I remember the PS4 being $250 with Uncharted 4 for much of the summer.
