Sony will react with bundles if anything. I don't see any reason for them to cut price, even if Xb one draws even with this price cut, which I doubt they will.

Because it's weaker and therefore should be cheaper hardware MS shouldn't be losing money at a slightly lower price point than PS4.


I somehow agree but performance in hardware doesn't always correlate with price.

We all know the key difference  in base costs is the unique ESRAM in Xb one that has no direct comparison in PS4, how much that element changes the base cost of the console, and is offset by the cheaper less powerful components such as the RAM is the unknown quantity. But I believe bill of materials analyses at the start of the gen suggested that Xb one came in at just a bit less than PS4, once you remove Kinect. Or am I not remembering correctly?


Now RAM also has power? That's funny :) Yeah, we don't know but after MS buried Kinect I think selling only the console they are in the same price spot like Sony. So both could tweak the price screws a little bit but for Sony it's crucial that PS4 will also bring some money home so I guess they let MS drop the price and see how market will react. ICE they just bundle some games with the hardware.
