Ehhhh... I have mixed feelings about this.
Remember how the 20GB PS3 (if anyone here even remembers the 20GB PS3, ironically, lol) ended up fading into obscurity and the 60GB PS3 took all the limelight? Which resulted in more cons than pros for Sony.
I feel like the standalone PS4 might suffer the same fate and this "ultimate bundle" will be lauded and hammed up for it's pricepoint.
On the flipside, it's not like MS are offering an SKU $200 cheaper this time around. So who knows... I just would've thought Sony want to stay well away from this territory at all costs after what happened to the PS3 in it's first year. |
That has to be the worst analogy I have ever seen. Comparing a 20GB gimped version of PS3 with a 500GB PS4 that has all the features regardless if it’s bundled with a Vita or not. All it will do is provide the consumer with options of either console gaming by itself or coupled with handheld gaming/remote play at an extra cost. You pick one gimped sku to support your argument and disregard all the sku’s that have been supported this gen from both MS and Sony. Clearly, there is a business model that works for tiered bundle sku`s without gimping the feature set. That’s why the 20GB PS3 fell into obscurity, it didn’t even have wi fi.

Support my argument? I could care less about what happens between these bundles. And I think the 360 proved how much consumers cared for Wi-Fi back in 06. The 20GB version was still fundamentally, a provided option, and perhaps the better value model, what else were you losing for $100? Card readers and overkill chrome trim? (and this is coming from someone who has the 60GB version) In Japan, the 20GB version lasted just as long as the 60GB version, go figure. All I'm saying is, I hope SCEA are treading very carefully about how they market this thing, this early on, especially in a market where the Wii U has been disillusioned as a peripheral for a year.
