Forums - Gaming - Console Price Margin For Reduction

Most consoles are designed with many custom components inside which make the console very expensive upon release but allow for economies of scale and other factors to reduce those costs over time.  With the PS4 and Xbox One being largely composed of off the shelf components, how will that affect their ability to lower prices going forward?

When can we expect the first price cuts and for how much?
How much do you expect Xbox One and PS4 to cost in 5 years?

XBO and PS4 will most likely be in the $300 range in 3-5 years. That seems to be the sweet spot for popular consoles.

Yeah, poor thing. More deserving than Wii in my eyes.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
