I think Sony should ride out most of the year at $400, even if X1 gets ahead, and then have a large price cut right at the start of November. $70 or so

 

PS4 has now become a premium product.

Says who? You? Because that's not what most MLG, competitive online gamers think. PSN is too weak for that system to be called "premium" imo. I own one, I know. The damn thing went down three times in three weeks lol. There is NOTHING premium about PSN. The console is definitely better and so is it's UI. The games, taken as a whole, are better. But that online service is so unrealiable that there is no WAY you can call it a premium product. That's just my opinion.

Premium product doesnt mean what you think it means. It just means a quality product that people are prepared to pay more for, has nothing to do with MLG/Competative gamers. If he had said premium service I think they could have been called out on the PSN troubles, but he used the phrase premium product.

It's not a word that I particularly like but it can be used when two products are fighting for a similar market and one is able to sell more with a more expensive proce..... It has been suggested for quite a while that the PS4 is a stronger piece of hardware, a better made device, which also has better asthetics (people will agree or disagree). These are all the things that make a premium product.
