I agree that Sony will have to drop the price of PS4 to give Morpheus the best chance of being viable. It's such an expensive proposition to get into VR that they will need to give people a reason to buy in. Spending $100 less on the base PS4 is about as good a reason as they will be able to muster. A Morpheus bundle would have to be no more than $450 to get reasonable appeal, and it will need a game autobundled, like Kinect Adventures was autobundled with Kinect. |
I agree that the base price of the PS4 around the time of Morpheus release has to be lower than $399. I however believe that Sony will push Morpheus more towards its already installed base of users who at the time (assuming Morpheus gets released around fall next year) will be around 50M as opposed to getting new people to come on board just for Morpheus.
But yeah, no price drop this year. As it stands they are on track to selling more than they did last year so dropping the price makes no business sense whatsoever.
