Not only did Sony sacrifice an out of the box camera in favor of a lower PS4 launch price, it did so quietly, according toIGN.
The company discreetly informed retailers of the camera's removal and didn't even mention the lower PS4 price point, according to the site's multiple sources.
That way, Microsoft was none of the wiser about the significant price difference between PS4 and its Xbox One console.
Note: I'm pretty sure Phil Spencer still remembers what happened back in 2013 and he will be damn if Sony gets to do it again.
Very trustworthy sources for sure, must be the same ones that swear PS4 also had always online DRM and removed it after MS backlash.
7 years later and people are still peddling the same ol conspiracy theories. Back then IGN was a cess pool. Just last month it came out that the whole Neil and Bruce forcing Amy Hennig out of ND was made up with no source just for clicks. Yeah I am not trusting that source from that era. lol
