Yh I agree, then again there is no telling what will happen if sony announces a $199 pricepoint around august or septembe, which would mean BF deals and xmas deals will see he console sold for even less than that. Sony has to know that this is the last year the PS4 could see sales in that 20M range (18-20M) so this is as good a time as any to drop the price.

I too expect a proper drop to around 15/16M next year.

Spiderman and Red dead are the real system movers for the PS4 this holiday. That and a possible price drop.

The Switch will still have a better sales potential though as you have said, being that this is only its second holiday on the market and is possibly far from hitting market saturation.

I think Sony's projections show that a price cut to $199 is not happening.

Sony may lowball predictions to be conservative but not in excess... so unless they were expecting a major drop without pricecut (unlikely) their projection shows that they weren't planning a price cut. But it still could happen depending on what happens on the next 3 months.
