It's about time we went to 5D I have been playing 4D games for 15 years

and recieve tons of 1st/3rd party support an amazing library of games and services that gets bigger and better all year, every year since launch right who cares...beacause I sure don't

I thought 4D was only available on PS3….

I don't know about you but I seem to remember polygonal 3D games that were animated (progressing though time the 4th dimension of spacetime).

5D is so .... 2007. This is SONY we're talking about. They'll heve 6D!!!!

Meanwhile, the Wii U doesn't even have 4D yet. Shame

...Not fifty? But sixty? Sixty what?

You can have a significant leap with 600 USD PCs right now.

I read from that statement that they will wait till these specs become cheaper for them, otherwise they just can't afford it. A company that is worth 15 billion USD can't afford a product that they expect to lose 3 billion in the first 2-3 years.

Well at least if you try to be sustainable. Sony has not beed sustainable for the better part of the past decade.

When companies cry taking losses on console sales, they don't tell you they are actually making a profit overall. They can afford to take a loss for consoles as retail game sales make them money, and now with PS+ (Plus) they have a double-whammy. As long as people buy games, they are fine. It's just a marketing strategy to make them look noble, that they are taking a loss when in they really aren't.

I know the razor-blade stuff.

The point is, that this is still a risky strategy. Look how Sony failed 2006 - 2009.

It would be better if they release it at 499, then pricecut it to 399 the next year. I honestly think people are willing to pay 500 bucks for a PS4 this time round with all the craze of tablets, smartphones etc.

PS3 got its pricecut to 399 after 2 years in the market wich was way too late.
