Euro to Dollar price
this is based on my opnion, but i think that given how weak the euro is and how everytime you hear Hardware being increased in price for graphicscards or Mobile devices its not a dumb argument that the PS4 will be a lot more competive in Euroland for the upcoming years. Sony decided to drop the price here in europe to 350€, and you allready can buy a PS4 for 330€ on Amazon.de which is their official price, 370€ for the newer model and 1TB model.
Graphicscard on the other hand they stay the same price or even increase in price, same for smartphones. The great thing about consoles is that Sony isnt depented on selling the console to make a profit. All what they care about is to break even with the manufactering costs of the console and make the money with software royalties of games, exclusive Sony published games with no royaltie fee and PS+ subscriptions.
meanwhile looking at the PC side a GTX 970 costs now as much, or more than a PS4 console itself and it gives you not that much more performance as a PS4 if you look at Witcher 3 benchmarks for example. Nvidia, Intel and AMD and the manufactors for Motherboards, Graphicscards etc. they all have to do profit from the hadrware to make their money. Same is true for PC and mobile manufactors like Apple and HP.
I think PC gaming will have a hard time in the upcoming years for its traditional gaming market, Europe. Espacially with a huge flow of kickass exclusive coming for PS4 in the next year, the exclsuive library gets bigger and bigger for the PS4. And Nintendo maybe has some plans as well with the NX which could make consoles even more competive against mobile and PC in Europe
