Forums - Sony - Another analyst: PS4 will launch below $400

That it guys... every analyst in the market put PS4 below $400... EPIC PRICE!!!

"The PlayStation 4 will debut later this year below $400, Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia said in a note to investors today ahead of next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

He said Sony was negatively impacted from launching the PlayStation 3 at an "extremely high" $600 and that the company will not repeat this pricing.

"Given that experience, we believe Sony will aim to keep the price point for PlayStation 4 below $400," Bhatia said.

He added that because Sony's PlayStation Network is free, the company is missing out on an opportunity to subsidize the next-generation system through a subscription model.

Still, he believes Sony will stick with a sub-$400 price point, even if it means losing money on the console itself."

"Bhatia does not believe Microsoft will share pricing information for the Xbox One at E3, instead leaving those details for a later event. A sub-$400 price point would be a "pleasant surprise," he said.

For me two models...

$350 with small HDD
$400 with big HDD

Welcome PS4.



399$ and 450$



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Is there any analyst who analyzed how much the console could actually cost to manufacture? Not an exact figure, but in the ballpark based on specs.



And the way they do conversions making it £350/£400 which isn't too bad

Wow if true. I got a PS3 for $399 and I had to wait two years for that price!

In two years the PS4 will cost $299 the magical price of the PS3 Slim BOOM.



Yeah, $399 and $449 sounds plausible. That's still a lot of money but at the same time a lot more reasonable than $500+.



im calling it here, a 349$ model and a 399$ model.
