Do you think we will get a PS4 Slim this year?

Not now. The momentum the PS4 has this year is enough to keep it going big time. Next year we might see it, both to push their sales and to counter whatever the NX turns out to be.

Slim isn't only for pushing sales, it's also for reducing manufacturing costs. I don't especially disagree with your points but I thought you left out one important argument.

True, kinda forgot about that one. :P

I suppose Sony will release it at the best moment. The regular PS4 can beat in sales the regular XBone, so they might wait to use it against a slim XBone or the NX, more than to save costs. It's a powerful tool to alter the sales of their competition.

I think the earlier the better.

That way they can push the price advantage even futher.  See if MS wants to follow suit, if not..... sales go crazy.

If MS follows, well both will sell more (due to cheaper prices) but it wont hurt sony, if they designed the slim for this very reason (to lower costs).
