Given Sony's level of preparation, it would be interesting if they managed to drive costs down (somehow) and responded with a price cut to keep their edge going.


Like they never cut price, right?

*fixed*

I'm referring to them being able to cut their price in a very short period of time in a sustainable way in order to counter MS, assuming this "report" is true.


Why the hell would Sony drop the PS4 price? It's the hottest game console and you can't find them anywhere. It has a solid lead over the Xbone and will only get bigger.

A troll account new account just for me? You shouldn't have. xD (I jest of course).

Correct, right now, and part of that has to do with the attractive price. Besides, it was hypothetical, and based on the assumption that MS would implement a cut to shore up the demand for their console. As of now Sony have no reason to implement a price cut, but as I stated earlier it would be interesting if Sony were so prepared that they would be able to follow suit (sustainable) and keep their console looking as the most attractive of the pair.

As for the bolded part. That remains to be seen. A lot can change, and unlike Sony, MS has the financial wherewithal to implement all sorts of moves to attract gamers. Hardship tends to bring out the best from these companies (look at Sony), so I see no reason why that can't apply to MS later down the road.
