249$ with game, 229$ standalone unit; before those prices where 299$ and 259$, so a 50$ and 30$ pricecut respectively

I remember seeing 249$ and 229$ before this year.... so its not the first time this year, but yeah that could give it a minor boost.
I call saying its crazy theres a 70$ price differnce between Xbox One and PS4 before, back then it didnt have much effect though.

Yeah, it's not the first time this year, hence why I said yet again. At this rate they can just keep the price at that and call it a day

Another win for the ps4. 2018 has been its year so far both hardware and software.

Yup, but its still down YOY, if it keeps this trend through out the year it will be behind YOY by about 1M - 1.3M when its all said and done. Although that means it still has a 19M+ year, it also means that we have the first real evidence of the PS4 having hit its decline.

A price drop to $199 by sony will destroy everything i just said though, so there is still that.

199$ is too much of a pricecut yet, but getting down to 249 could be possible if sales drop down too much for Sony's liking. After all, they are already expecting slightly slower sales, so if the projections would start looking like they can't reach that number either at some future point, I'm sure that's what they would do.
