70% YoY lift with a $100 price cut is doable. PS3 got a 75% boost for the same time period between '08 and '09.  But for those 3 months with a $100 price cut I think 10 million is more likely the max for PS4 this year. Of course I have underestimated PS4 sales a fair bit over the last year or so.

If you don;t think there will be a $100 price cut then you are right, a 70% is not going to happen with only a $50 price cut, which will surely be the least that happend this year for PS4.

A price cut seems a bit too soon for the PS4 right now considering it's success. At most I would expect $50 off and some bundles. To be fair we don't really know what to expect with the PS4 yet so anything could happen, especially since it's pretty early in the year and the holiday lineup is still a bit unclear.

A price cut in the 2nd half of this year is exactly correct timing, because without it PS4 will be down year on year, that's almost guaranteed. And Sony does not want the negativity that comes with being down year on year in only the 2nd full calendar year of PS4's life.
