I could have worded that better. Sony haven't called it a $50 price drop, they've called it a price reduction which doesn't indicate an actual number. Look up the PS Blog post and read it carefully. Every bundle that's dropped in price has had a game bundled with it. Remove that game and Sony save the cost of the game. I belive Sony are hiding a $100 drop behind these bundles and will use it if necessary, but if it performs well enough they won't need to.

The blog says "we're dropping the price" which means price drop. So, its a price cut.

The main body of the article says the "PS4 system" implying the stand alone model at $349

then there's the "hardware line up" where all bundled and limited edition bundles get a $50 price drop.

Looks like uncharted is a free game sooo...

but yeah, i get your point. taking out the game sony could also drop the price by another 50 or just claim that it was a promo bundle hence the price remains the same at 349.

my only concern is, maybe we're giving ms and sony too much credit. since, you know... they're a bunch of dumbasses. 

That's fantastic, all of the standard 500gb bundles are 350 but the standalone which price was never announced could definitely be 300-320/330 dollars.

 

I always think it's gotta sting that when your competitor is the same price as you it's no competition in your home land.
