Forums - Gaming - How is the PS4 cheaper?

I originally assumed the PS eye came with the console but it is not clear now. That would play a role.

MS also has a bigger box too. Not sure I expected that either.

PS Eye is $60 for consumers... I thin Sony can do a bundle for less than $450 with it.

According to IGN it does come bundled. They could be wrong of course.

Lifetime Sales Prediction - 6/29/2013
Wii U - 38 million
XBOX One - 88 million
Playstation 4 - 145 million

because it doesn't have Kinect and zillions of servers to monitor you all the time XD

I think it is possible because the Camera is really cheaper.



Kinect is expensive, X1 yield issues, and maybe Sony got a good deal with AMD.

Essentially, the $399 SKU will be the SKU without PS Eye.

When you add on the extra PS Plus subs now too, from people wanting to play online, then its a very good plan. They may lose say, $50(?) on this console, but they will make that back with PS Plus subs and 1st party software.

$399 without PS Eye
$499 with PS Eye

Thats the way I see it.

What? PS Eye is priced $60 for retail... no way Sony will bundle it for $100 more... and I think the PS Eye will be included into $399 SKU.



They made some very smart hardware choices and didn't spend a lot of R&D money on extra functionality for tv services. I'm not sure if ps eye is included with that though, that might have something to do with the price since MS is making the kinect mandatory with the Xbox One.



MS invests way more money than $ony but we have yet to see if this is good for them. I think the price-gap is favoring $ony too much.



There will probably be a $449 Bundle that includes the PSEye. There is no reason to sell the PSEye separately if all PS4 SKUS come with the PSEye.



A warrior keeps death on the mind from the moment of their first breath to the moment of their last.



Sony wants to gain a big lead early, they don't want the XB One to have as large of a market share as the 360 did. That plus Kinect.

I think Sony is in a good position for this gen, at $399, it's going to sell really really well.
