Kinda makes the whole "line up for Black Friday" stuff bunk, you could just walk into any store and get the same price without having to deal all the crazies on Black Friday. |
Personally I expected this move already since the same thing happened last year. There's also the fact that both Sony and MS should have a decent bit of leeway in the price. I mean, the PS4 and the XBO has only dropped 100$ from their launch prices (not including special deals obviously), which is 25% in 3 years. Meanwhile the PS2 dropped from 300$ to 200$ in 2 years. That's a much bigger relative reduction and in a substantially shorter time frame as well. Clearly Sony (and I'm guessing MS will follow suit) are using this leeway to make deals seem better when in reality these are the prices that would've been normal in the market before by this time in their life cycles. In fact, I think the fact that the pricecuts have been going so slowly this gen is the biggest indicator that this gen, just like last gen, will last quite a while.
