The major thing you and alot of people ignore is how much emerging markets have grown since the PS1/PS2 days, consoles used to release years later or take years to catch on in these smaller markets which isnt the case anymore. Here's an example, Brazil launch dates PS2-Nov 2009 PS4-Nov 2013 PS2 launched 9 years after the main markets while PS4 launched at the same time. As for price, here are the prices when the successor launched. PS1-$99 PS2-$129 PS3-$199 The price has gone up with each platform so why are you so certain that PS4 will go under PS3 price? |
