| Ruler said: Ehh? the CUH1200 model can afford this price because the original model made 20$ profit of each 400$ PS4. Sony never sold a console before with a profit from the console itself, this is abnormal for PlayStation. Thats why it drops in price. The PS4 is sucessfull in the west but not in the east, this is why its a smart move to take marketshare from mobile and not xbox which isnt sucessfull in asia in the first place. |
I'm not saying they can't afford the price drop. I'm saying they shouldn't need on yet. People have been tripping over each other to buy a PS4 at $400. No one relevant yet will only buy a PS4 after it drops in price, so a price drop this soon is really weird.
I don't think this is taking any market share from mobile over there. The attempt to get people away from that platform over there is frankly futile for everyone.
