Yeah, nah. 10 years ago, the PS2 was selling for $99. Even if it was $199, 5-10 years is not enough to increase the price to $249. You’ll be doubly wrong if the leaked $199 Black Friday PS4 is true. A console is an essential device like a smartphone, a lot of which, btw, people get on a plan.

Why would I be doubly wrong? If I'm arguing that $249 is mainstream then obviously $199 is even better and will result in much higher sales! Do far $249has proven to be a good price point as both X1 and PS4 have seen great sales when they've trmporary lowered the price to that during the holidays.

Think of it this way.... the lower a pricepoint, the more mainstream it is.

Yes, PS4 has seen great sales at $249. But believe us when we say its nothing compared to what it will see at $199. Better yet $199 with a game.
