Now it is a bit unprecedented for a console selling as well as the PS4 to get a price drop this early, but Kaz did say he cares more about marketshare than profit for the system. And the more PS4s they sell the more they make off of software and PS+. There's also the added benefit of kneecapping Microsoft's plan for price parity by releasing the Kinect-less SKU. With a fairly weak exclusive lineup this year, a price drop could be what keeps Sony top dog in the US. 

Thoughts?


true, but they also have a lot of losses that they need to fix.  right now i don't think sony can afford to take a short term loss in hope of long term profitability.  i believe they'll try to drop the price as soon as they can but i don't think they will drop it until they can take at least $50 off and still be profitable after the price-drop.    are they making $50 in profit on every ps4 sold?  last quarters numbers would suggest no.  not yet anyways.
