MS could do a lot of things, but no matter what they do I don't think Sony should stay still much longer. The console was making profit over a year ago and has recently had it's production costs lessened again, so I don't think Sony will have to compromise between install base and profit too much. Throw in a plus subscription and a game and they will still make money on each purchase. Whatever happens it should be an interesting time for sales.

TLOU has clearly made more than enough profit and as we've seen it's already been packed in a lot of bundles for free. With Driveclub now being touted as a service, I can see that also as a candidate for a free pack it. So I reckon a TLOUR/Driveclub bundle is a shoe in for this Christmas and beyond. An Uncharted: A Thief's End/The Nathan Drake Collection seems a no brainer for next year. I was always of the opinion Sony would roll with bundles instead of a price cut but I just sense there's something in the air with the release of the new model and 1TB version. I think there is now a big possibility the 1TB will be priced at the current price and the new model could get a price drop. We'll see, but at the end of the day it's not really about winning, it's about hitting your targets and if Sony believe they can hit their targets without a price drop, that's what they'll do.
