Sony Needs to Lower the Price of the PS4.

[Azuren]

I believe it was revealed that the Slim costs $198 to manufacture, so (if the past is any indication) we're looking at a $250 price for the holidays... But I wouldn't put it past Sony to do it for $200 during those holidays, then bump up to $250 after January. The company is known to take a loss on the console to get it in homes, and $200 would probably be losing around $10 for each console sold (after shipping and whatnot). If everyone were to buy the console with one game, that makes up for it, but most people buy a console with two or three games.

If course, this is only speculation. I believe the $250 price tag to be the most logical course of action; $100 price drop, 20% margin to the company, beating the already beaten competition's price by $50, and launching for the holiday season. It's gonna be a good Christmas for Sony.
