I know I call people crazy who even suggest ps5 in 2019. Sony would be nuts to replace a profitable monster still selling gangbusters at a high price.
Is there any point for Microsoft? They are already cheaper then the playstation and Sony have a machine that is long over due a permanent cut that's cheaper then xbox to produce id guess. So if they cut the price trying to catch Sony, they could end up falling even further behind and for less profits.
I get the feeling Sony could have cut the price a year ago but figured what's the point when Microsoft didn't. I can see a temporary bundle to 200€ and then a permanent cut early next year. |
Totally agree with you there and I actually think that that's exactly the main reason why they haven't done it yet. But I think they're getting to a point where they simply won't have much choice. Besides, Sony doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry to enter into price war.
And also, they keep putting their services as the front and center of their business strategy. Well, the way I see it, people are not going be able to subscribe to your service if they don't have the hardware to run it in the first place (I mean, I know they're working on the Xcloud thingy but still..).
I actually think they're gonna make the price cuts permanent after they holidays. I guess we'll have to wait and see
