See how fast you clicked that?

WIth the sales of the PS4, its unlikely that we will see this price cut anytime soon, but since it has been discussed to death in consideration of the XB1, why not the PS4? 

I think pricecutting the PS4 to 349$ is fiscally possible, although unnecessary.

IHS' teardown has the system at $372. Although, there are costs associated with shipping the system to retailers and advertising them, certianly at its current price point the system should break even with a year of plus or a 60$ game purchase. Not to mention the price would be a bit cheaper then 372 considering its manufactured in bulked. At $349, 2 games or a year of plus and a game should have the same effect. Not to mention the systems will teleport off the shelves as opposed to flying.

The main 2 problems with this are simply manufacturing and R&D costs. But these problems aren't permanent.

Thoughts?

Clicked it pretty fast

Edit: I don't think it will be necessary for Sony to do a price cut till MS matches the X1's price to the ps4 but even then, they don't really need it...

PS: I believe I won this clicking contest

lol I was expecting massive to get SOLD OUT in matter of minutes.

Honestly since Sony is market leder right now they will wait for the market to decide it for them

Clicked faster than if the thread were titled in a less clickbait-y way as 'What are your thoughts on a future price drop for PS4 to $349,' which would get the appropriate number of clicks to the topic.

$50 off something as big of a deal as a video game console that will last for years might be a big deal to some people - 3DS got a bigger price cut after six months.

Even if you save the $50, there are still no games to play right now. They should focus on more releases as driveclub has been postponed yet again rather than price cutting when there's no real compelling reason to buy the console in the first place.

If VGChartz is correct, Xbone is increasing in sales and beating PS4 in America right now. This is disturbing, and I wonder why. At Walmart, I saw 1 Xbone and 3 PS4s on the shelves. Perhaps a price cut is needed to continue crushing Xbox.

I took me a second to click on this thread. DAMN.

What? Games are literally releasing every week.

OT: A price drop isn't necessary as long as demand is as high as it is. Even with the silly stigma of having NO GaemZ the system is flying off the shelves.

No need for Sony to cut the price. They cut the PS2 price 2 years after the Japanese launch. I think E3 2015 is the earliest we'll see a PS4 price cut to $299.
