Do you think Sony regrets pricing the PS4 at $400?

Plus while they announced no DRM and 399, they slipped in the paywall and pretty much got away with it. The amount of new subscribers will make up that difference in no time

But they could have made a profit on each unit sold on top of the PS+ subscription fees. They were going to sell all their inventory at launch regardless.

Sony could have done the $399 price tag for the 2014 holiday if they felt sales needed to be stimulated. If X1 sales need to be stimulated, it will likely become $399 a year from now.

its about grabbing the early market share because "what there friends have"  is a deciding factor for alot of people.  Coming out cheaper is very important and the high price tag of the ps3 really hurt them.   They did not want to be infront of that bus again.  There are several interviews where they discuss the price tag and how its what they wanted to deliver and how proud they are to have achieved it.
