Sony are capable of releasing it at $199 but they won't. It's probably going to be $299. The price of the Neo is harder to judge because we just don't know the spec and we are looking at something between $399 and $599 because of the lack of info. I think I previously predicted $299 slim and $449 Neo so I'll stick with that.

What does that even mean? That they don't lose money when they do it?

Whoops, I left it a little vague.

Yes they could probably make a small amount of money or at least lose a small amount. Sony have made the cheapest possible PS4 and left out 4k. If the Xbox One S can sell at $299 with UHD capabilities and make, then the PS4 slim must be cheaper to build coupled with that Sony are a bit better at keeping costs down than MS. So if for example MS a make $50 aconsole, it's not to hard to believe that Sony couls make $100 a console with the Slim at $299. So it's a viable route at $199 and still make an healthy amount of money through PlayStation (Software, subs etc)
