If Sony drop to $100, from here on out they will always be $50 less than they could of been. $250 this year, $200 next year etc. Instead of $300 this year and $250 next year etc. Multiply that $50 loss by 60M. (If PS4 sells 100M lifetime so since it has already sold 40M that will mean an estimated 60M to be sold). $50 x 60,000,000 = $3,000,000,000 So will extra hardware, software sold and PS+ subs make up for the 3 billion loss? |
It might prevent loss of sales to MS, resulting in higher sales, than if they priced it higher.
That should take abit off of that 3bn number you came up with. Selling for less profit, but selling more units, is a valid bussiness choice.
Ontop of that, said extra sales with services & higher resulting sales of PS VR, and games, could probably cover it yes.
