Man, I hope not. That's asking for failure. Hardware has to launch at $399 or less, lest it be crushed by whoever sells for less. In this case, we (essentially) know that MS will have a lower priced SKU. So, a single SKU from Sony cannot be a premium unit, unless it comes without a premium price tag. |
It's not so much about price, though $599 is definitely a stretch for most, but about value for the money. If Sony has a more powerful machine than the XB2, with exclusives that show off that difference in power on or near launch, $449 or $499 is not going to be a bad asking price. Of course, I think Sony is still going to try to aim for $399. They always sell at a loss and they will be buying in bulk, with the advantage of being the market leader, so they will probably be able to swing it.
