40% marketshare loss, losses measured in the billions of dollars, and a massive marketshare boost to their main competitors ...
The vast majority of all console sales in the previous generation was for systems that were less than $300, including the majority of PS3 systems sold. It would be foolish to look at the outcome from the previous generation as being supportive of selling a system for more than $400; and I would say that it would indicate that you should be launching your system as close to $300 as possible.
Ultimately, I don't know what Sony will sell the PS4 for but my original point was that they may have (once again) over-engineered a system and need to sell it for a price beyond what the market really supports; and if they do this it will be a huge mistake.
