that's nice, they need big sales this November and December because their sales so far this year have been abysmal. even two huge wins and the PS4 will still win the year in the US, which I'm sure will be forgotten by some.

Expect a Pro price cut too

Yea, I expect a Pro cut in Sept.  Unless they decide to wait til Nov to spring it. But, Sept is their usual MO. It'll be interesting to see how much they cut.  I only expect a $50 cut since the X is so expensive. A $150 difference is definitely going to be too big to ignore.  Though, I kinda wish for them to go super aggressive and cut by $100.  A $200 difference is a done deal.

The most important thing this holiday season, though, is going to be the fact that the OG PS4 is going to be available for $199.  That's the model that'll sell the most and could possibly take the Nov win from the XBO.

I'm expecting them to drop the Destiny 2 bundle to $399 a few weeks or a month after releasing it. It really depends upon what Sony wants to do though, Star Wars Battlefront is their most valuable marketing deal this year, I believe, as that's the November game. If they go hard like they did in 2015 and put out a $250 1 tb battlefront 2 bundle or even drop it to $199 for Black Friday it would do gangbusters.
