Forums - Sony - I'm scared about the PS4 price.


Exactly how expensive is this type of RAM? I know nothing tech.

If you can find a PS4 in any store after release. I'll let you buy me one.



I suspect two sku honestly........$429-$499 something close to that heh.



My biggest worry coming out of the event. It looked real expensive, and the specs/controllers suggested as such. But they can't afford to sell it at a loss.

It looks really good, but I'm thinking perhaps $500 as a minimum now (with no loss involved). That's worrying.

Those are my thoughts as well.

That's 16 times the RAM of PS360, 4 times Wii U... and faster RAM!

I am excited and worried.


Remember that PS3 uses XDR which is proprietary DRAM made by RAMBUS. GDDR5 is pretty standard and dropping in price.



Would Sony really price the PS4 high? I mean hasn't Sony always lost money on its hardware? If this tech is really expensive then its going to be one or the other.

Edit, this was meant as a reply to Otaku. Sorry bought the screwup

If we could be so lucky. Certainly not if they want to not have a loss.

A good guess would be $499 minimum. Start saving up.

Sony are waiting for MS to move their horses. A price war they can't win from MS, they are just too damn big.
If MS aims for a $399 price tag (on a similar specced device), Sony will probably have to sell at a descent loss to stay competitive. Will they take the plunge again like they did with PS3? Only now they aren't coming off a mountain of cash anymore. Interesting times indeed...



Think for yourself, question authority
