Sales - Is $500 too much? - View Post

A recent NextBox rumor says that it will cost $500.  A number of people with Sony signatures said that will kill the new XBox.  I found that funny because I expect the PS4 to also cost $500.  $450 at the least.  But this discussion isn't really about whether these systems will cost $500.  This is about whether $500 is too much for these sytems.  So what do you think, is $500 to much?

$500 is in no way mass market.  Even a $400 price point is pushing it.  People end up needing computers and other smart portable devices, so adding just gaming at that price point is nuts.  And even trying to do $300 with a subscription is really, really pushing it.
