499 will be the cheapest version. Factor in inflation 399 (2006)=449 (2013) and their has to be a decent gap between this gen en next gen in terms of pricing. They don't have to be bought by everyone right of the bat.

If 399 becomes the price, next gen will actually become cheaper then when Xbox 360 launched.

Man, I don't know. I just could not justify spending half a grand on a video game console. I'm sure there are many consumers who feel the same way. Especially now, with so many unemployed and underpaid.

Me neither so I will wait for prices to come down. But still there are people that are willing to pay 499 for a console, even in a bad economy. 

EDIT: subscriptions could very well lower the prices from 499 to 299 + 2 years
