| Miyamotoo said: No, my point is that PS4 is seling more than a year below MSRP of $300 now. No I dont, my point was very clear. You wrote that PS4 had small cut, but in reality going from $400 500GB model whitout game to 1TB bundle with game for $300 or to 500GB bundle with game for $250, is not any more just about $100. It had little official price cuts, but constantly has deals and sales that goes below MSRP or much bigger value (1TB with game) for those same $300. |
Ok... here is how these things usually works.
An MSRP is just that... a manufacturer sales recommended price. There have always been deals. For every console for all time. But as far as the law goes, the official price of the console is still $299. When you see it on TV ads, they will brandish starting at $299. When people want to go buy it, they aren't all going to be going armed with the tech enthusist forum visiting knowledge that you can get it for less. Its $299.
Now make no mistake, everything out there is being sold at some sort of discounted price or deal.
The real cool thing though is this.... when the price of the console officially drops to $199, there will still be deals. So at that point you will get it from most outlets for $199 and probably even with a free game.
If you go around telling people that the PS4 costs $250? you are misleading them, cause thats not the official price. And what everyone arguing with you has been trying to tell you is that at $199, the PS4 is most likely going to sell more than it is currently selling at $250/$300.
