Indeed, its official 299 so its299 , because its sonetimes cheaper and or bundled doesnt matter.

I can't agree. The actual price at retail affects the number of units sold.  The official price is the one that doesn't matter.  1* And, I'm not trying to "fool" anyone.  I'm contributing to the discussion, and pointing out the stone cold fact that many units are sold for less then $299, and many that do sell at the "official" price are bundled with a game.  

*2 It was on sale for the whole xmas season at $199.  It is on sale at Target for $279 just about every other week.  It is on sale at various places at $250 pretty often.  Most units sold are now bundled with a game.  These things significantly impact the value proposition, which in turn significantly impacts sales.  If you want to ignore this stuff, that's fine.  Just know that you're deliberately ignoring relevant facts that affect the sales of PS4, and will continue to have an impact going forward.  

1) BS by far the most units in 2018 have been 299$.
2) that was like 6-7days... wtf? and it sold out before the deal even ended most places. That is a straight up lie, no 2 ways about it.

You know whats been cheap for most of 2018? the Xbox One... its been 229$ for like 1month+ out of the first 3 months in 2018.
And its normal price is 249$ + game bundled.
Compaired with most often 299$ PS4 thats a ~70$ difference in price.

Im calling BS on PS4 regulary being on sale for lower than 299$ this year, thats simply not true.
