| Bofferbrauer said: I doubt Sony will have a pricecut this year, sales are still very good and Sony is in need of money after all the money they bleeded over the last years. Unless those sales numbers go down significantly, there is incencitive to lower the price to 349$/€ Also, a pricecut to 300 $/€ won't happen before a slim version is coming, which will not be before TSMC or GlobalFoundries (don't know where out of these 2 AMD is producing the chips for the PS4) got a good grip over the yield rates of the chip produced in 14/16nm, as else it would be to costly, and a slim version without the shrink is hardly possible as the risk of overheating would be too high So I guess the only ones who can or will actually do a pricecut are Nintendo (it's high time!) and Microsoft (they have reserves, and sell for 300€ here anyway already) |
With the 1TB model incoming for the same price as the 500GB model currently, a price cut kind of has to happen for the 500GB to remain a viable option to anybody.
