| Hanswurst02 said: yeah sure. But why lower the price when they can sell the same and get more money from it? They only HAVE to lower the price if xbox is selling significantly more which they dont. |
Just get this, the only thing that could stop or delay Sony from dropping the price is if from their internal projections they realize they wouldn't be able to meet demand.
This is ultimately not about making more from each console unit sold, or about "selling more" than the XB1, its about increasing your user base as quickly as possible. Look at it this way, If Sony sells 15M PS4s this year at $400 or 20M if they drop the price to $300 at some point, those extra 5M gives their overall user base a massive boost. Those are 5M more people to sell games to or buy PS+ sub's. Basically, they stand more to gain getting as many consoles out there rather than making a profit on each console sold but selling less of them.
