They may just hide a price cut but putting a free physical game in a bundle. For example Uncharted 4 Bundle @ $400.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'

Not this year i would say ! I mean they are still increasing the Gap to XOne and yeah the sells arent that good from last year, but lets wait until February and March, there will be a big boost again because of The Order and Bllodborne, also Games like Witcher and Hardline will help.

Then Uncharted is also supposed to come out this year, maybe to go Head to Head with Halo and then they need no pricecut.
And lets be honest, Sony really NEEDS all the money they can get and as long Xone is not selling (way) more Units then the PS4, they dont need to take action with a Price cut.

So i predict at the beginning of next Year, maybe with a new version and also 1 TB storage ! :)
But lets see what happens.....

Either May or June

I say June, at E3, to conclude the show with another bomb (or may be let it start with a bomb)

MS Bought Tomb Raider to go head to head with Uncharted. :)

People saying not this year don't have a clue...of course it gets one this year, no console will go 2 years without one. PS4 was made with price reductions in mind, cerny said himself. It will drop this year.

I think we will see it during the holidays, to fight X1 a bit. If not, next year.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

I'm actually going to say not this year but definitely next year with a 1TB PS4 slim.

The PS4 seems to be absolutely beasting and there's really no competition to thwart its progress, we see the PS4 coming out on top of Jan NPD in spite of the XB1 going back to $350 and it's complete domination on a worldwide basis. I think Sony can ride the $400 price tag for one more year and have the titles to support them through 2015. The only way I think Sony drops the price this year is if the XB1 goes to $300-$330 permanently.

 

I agree that there will be a 1TB model next year. 2016 most likely is the PS4's "Blitzkrieg" so to speak. In addition, if Witcher 3 is any indication of what's to come in terms of download sizes, then Sony will be prepared by then.

 

However, I personally believe that Sony will cut the price during E3 since the exclusive marketing deal with RockSteady will be in high gear by then or Gamescom since Sony commands such a large presence in Europe. Microsoft, as you stated, will counter in 2-3 days after these announcements or go crazy during the holidays like they did last holiday season. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see a $279.99 variation; provided if that price cut down to $300 happens shortly after Sony's.

 

I am not discrediting your statement, but adding hypotheticals as to why I believe the price cut of the original model will happen.

 

Quick Edit: Samsung's newer and cost effective 20nm GPU die should also indicate an imminent price cut soon.


hey man, it's a forum, all opinions are welcomed

Late summer or early fall.

When it needs a price cut. Right now it doesn't need one.
