anything beyond 400 is suicidal...


Depends... If it is light-years better than the WiiU, 450 could be okay. Remember, the WiiU have 8GB-32GB of memory, that alone add at least another 50 dollars of cost to have a half decent hard drive...



No, even if it was the Watson supercomputer itself, at a high price, lets say 1000€, it wouldnt sell, it would to tech geeks only, i dont think Sony wants that scenario for themselves...plus PS4 doesnt look like is going to pull more than 4 times WiiU performance

i'm still missing games i want so this gen. isn't quite over for me.

Wich ones?

I still want some too, I will buy SOUTH PARK RPG, BEYOND and LAST OF US on the PS3.

And GTA5 on the Xbox360, gotta share the love.

These four, hopefully amazing, games aside, I can´t wait for some next gen games and hardware.





My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

A word of caution: does everyone remember this? Or this?

Really, 450 is way too much?

The PS4 is four times better than the WiiU? What does that mean? Wii - Xbox360 diference or PS2-Xbox diference?

I'm seeing $450 as a logical price.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Xbox to PS2 is 2x in performance , so it would be two times that gap, which in reality wouldnt be a real deal, since the real gap between Xbox and PS2 games was nonexistant



VGKing on 06 February 2013

Perfect. Seems like a $399 price point in the US is likely.



ethomaz on 06 February 2013

So $399 for US.. perfect launch price for PS4.

If Sony can lowered that to $349 in US then the Kazification is complete.



SaviorX on 06 February 2013

So $350 minimum, $450 maximum.

If the rumors are true, that at this point i believe they are, the ps4 will be minimum 7 to 8 times more powerfull than the Wii U.

But that is not as bad as some sony fans here make it believe, the difference between the ps3 and the Wii was around 40 times more powerfull.

OP: I Since it costs more than 40k yen and the yen situation is not good yet, i am 100% sure ps4 will be 450 U$ mimimum, if this news is correct, 400 U$ is just wishfull thinking.
