Yes I agree. But I will say that the PS4 selling for $400 has given Sony a chance over the years to to drop the price to stimulate sales. Something that Nintendo have less opportunity to do.

I don't get what you are saying here.... 

You make it sound like the PS4 was selling at $400 just for laughs and giggles. It sold at that price cause thats close to what it cost sony to make it. And no matter how its looked at, a $400 price point is more prohibitive than a $300 one. I mean, its just common sense, if the PS4 sold x number of consoles at $400, it would have sold more than that at $300.

And nintenod is free to drop prices too,, unless of course Nvidia doesn't play ball.

Over the last couple of posts talking about this issue its beginning to read as if somehow launching at a higher price is an "advantage" as oposed to being a hurdle to overcome as quickly as possible.

I don't completely disagree with either side of the argument because neither is wrong. 

And the point I made about the PS4 selling at $400. What do you disagree with? The point I made is that PS4 selling so well at $400 puts Sony at a much better advantage because they have more room for price drops to stimulate sales than Nintendo. 

I don't think I was downplaying Sony in any way.
