Translation for y'all : "Starting 09/06 : PS4 remains the same "

EDIT : here's the link  

Sometimes tweats should be thought out more.  Saying the PS4 remains the same really isn't something to brag about.  It means the PS4 is not progressing or evolving but staying static while the competition is adding more value and incentives to the consumer.  Thats one of those arogant tweats that made Sony look bad at the beginning of the PS3 era and does not sound good if Sony is smelling their success to much.

How exactly are they arrogant? There's still stong demand for the PS4 in most parts of the world, so no need for Sony to drop the price if people are happy paying for it.

Microsoft are having a harder time selling Xbox Ones, hence price drops and introduction of a new SKU, minus Kinect.

Arrogant means that because they still have strong demand they think they are untouchable.  This is a fallacy.  Saying the PS4 has not changed implies that the console is not advancing and Sony is not trying to stay a step ahead of the competition.  We have a long way to go before either console is declared as a winner.  

It does not matter what the market is today.  Both consoles will be on the market for a long time and values shift between consumers all the time.

These type of schoolboy tweets sound exactly that.  Its not well thought out and and a knee jerk reaction that might not get the response the person intended.  Think about it, as a gamer do you really care if the PS4 is the same since launch if you were on the fence for a purchase.
