Angelv577 said: I guess you meant ps4? if so, I wouldn't mind ps4 releasing in spring but IMO, it makes more sense in August or September, this way sony can build momentum near holiday and then push that momentum further with uncharted 4 which is the biggest game for Sony this year. Maybe I'm expecting a similar effect when ps3 was cut to 299 around August or september (I'm not sure) which was huge and then pushed further with Uncharted 2, that combination help ps3 cut the ps3/360 gap from 8m to 5m in just matter of few months, though microsoft released the slim with kinect and stop the gap from decreasing rapidly. |
I can't agree with that line of thinking. If there is going to be a price drop then it needs to be before the Christmas period. It is better for Sony to sell more consoles before Christmas based on consumer demand through a price drop and then guarentee another spike because of excluseves around Christmas, than it is the put all of your eggs in one basket and risk shortages in the most lucrative time of the year. They can't suddenly build consoles because they're short but they can cater to a consistant market much easier.
The PS5 Exists.
