Finally they are fully backward compatible with both controllers and games and this allows them more of a slow burn with regard to success. Sony needs to grab those big dollars because their solution requires a massive up front investment. $400 for the console, perhaps $60 for a second controller, $50 for plus and $60 for a game.

$570 is massive.

Well, the PS4 is not such a big investment for me.

419 € for PS4 + DriveClub (retail) + 50% PS+ voucher.

- 520 € (sold my launch PS4 for 580 € minus 60 € eBay and shipping costs)

504 € for the Killzone-PS4-bundle (PS4 + Killzone Shadow Fall + second DualShock4 + camera)

- 50 € for second controller (I don't need it, second player can use my Vita as second controller)

- 60 € for the camera (perhaps I  keep it... haven't decided yet)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all together: 293 € for PS4 (512 GB) + DriveClub + Killzone SF + 6 months PS Plus (Contrast, Resogun, Don't Starve and a few other PS4 games the next months)

a better value than 288 € - 299 € for a WiiU (32 GB) + 1 game ;)


Hehe, lucky.

I got a XB1 Day One on ebay for $440 (including express shipping), then I sold it for $470.  Not much demand here... can't even sell for 499.

Whoever sold it to me got x-boned.

I had two PS4s in hand the week before Christmas and had to sell them both at cost (430), so I think both consoles were a bust for resellers.

Also, Microsoft might be in a pickle on the 500 price.  On one hand, it was smart.  Why let resellers get all that money.  If you can sell your console for 500, do it.  But now they have to find a clever way to cut the price sooner than later without pissing off EVERYONE who bought it at 500.  Much like Nintendo with the 3DS.

That being said, my prediction is a bundled game with the Xbox one as soon as this spring.


i doubt you will see a drop until next year but i think you are correct when you say you will see games bundled.....the disc doesnt cost much to produce so its less of a "loss" than cutting the price.
