| Zkuq said: It won't be $199. We'll be lucky if it's $249 instead of $299. The console sells huge amounts even without a price drop, so Sony has absolutely no need to drop the price. And after PS3, Sony seems to be more and more after profits from hardware instead of profits from just software, and I'm not sure they could even sell the console at profit at $199. If I had to guess, I'd say they would profit uncomfortably little even if it was $249. Sony is aiming to maximize profits instead of userbase, and $199 probably doesn't help there. Bottom line: I expect it to cost $299, but $249 too is possible. |
That part is wrong. Cause Sony had said they are more interested in marketshare than maximizing profits on the box.
What's been playing in their favor has just been how badly MS has been doing compared to them and how non existent Nintendo has been. There is no need to drop your price when you are not just selling more at a higher price, but selling more than any console you have ever made ever......
