Smash again on sale for $45, begins to rise with the Wii U in tow. I'm beginning to possibly detect a pattern here :P

A slim PS4 at this point is way too soon. No console had its slim counterpart released within two years after launch. If we're going to see a slim, it will be next year. What may happen, though, is an internal revision that will drastically reduce manufacturing costs. Samsung began mass producing 8-gigabit GDDR5 chips. The PS4 currently uses 16 4-gigabit GDDR5 chips, so Sony can cut down the number of chips in half as well as shrinking the APU die.


While history agrees with you:
DDR5 can now use less slots 
A processor die shrink already exists according to rumor

If they could do it now, why wait?

Because putting out a Slim PLUS a $100 cut is playing too many cards and too soon.  To keep momentum constant, the best thing to do this year would be to cut to $299-$349.  Then, late next year, release the PS4 Slim with another $50 cut.  Then, the final big card to play in 2017 would be to drop to $199.  Finally, in 2018 we may see another $50 cut, most likely the final one, possibly with a final Slim revision.  It's also the same year we will probably hear about the PS5.

I really dont see this gen lasting anywhere near what last gen did and sony MS and nintendo know that too. Especially MS, who seem likely to abandon the x1 and go pc. So I see no reason to hold back. If they can release it by E3, they will.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

I think that that you are wrong!  :) Lol.  But joking aside,  I think Bloodbourne will surprise you. 

We will see.

But my BloodBorne prediction was 180,000 fw week in Japan, and at the end have sold 150,000... BloodBorne as for now is not surprise for me imo.


Well it sold through 1 million in 12+ days (physical and digital) so there is a really healthy chance that you weren't optomistic enough about  Bloodborne :)

Both statements are wrong. All articles on the subject specifically say sold-through.

And NPD is only for America, so it will not tell us if the 1,000,000 sold through number is very close.

Have you not seen the large number of people correcting this statement from you in the other thread?

It's 1m sold through, stated in several articles, and here retweeted by Shuhei Yoshida himself:



yeah i totally got that. because i read japanese and shit.
