PS4 already proved its price point is atractive by selling +20,000,000.   And NO 199 now is not what 199 was even if you wish it ws to support your opinion.  These days 199 is what a nice sweater or shoes costs.  

Market perception. People see the same price no matter what. This isn't 40 years we're talking about where a loaf of bread was 25 cents. This is less than a decade ago. $199.99 is a more attractive price for a gaming console. The reason the PS4 has sold so well is because the market has grown exponentially. 

No, it sold so well becasue the price was rigth from the start.  A decade ago people were not paying $800 for a cell phone 500 for a tablet.  Consumers are better conditioned to pay more now then ever, especially a product like a game console that lasts for years and is not constantly being replaced by new hardware.

99.99 is even more attractive lol.
