Ps4 bundles are 18 and 19 on Amazon's weekly best sellers list. I don't think they care quite yet. Maybe before the holidays.

Nope, i payed full price for two. So can you to well to a point, MS already dropped twice.



Me personally no I am not. I bought a PS3 and 4 at launch. Them dropping the price now will not matter to me.



I expect a ps4 pricecut by August. PS3 and xbox 360 need a price cut as well. I'm assuming that MS is waiting for sony to decide what to do.



I want a PS3 price drop so I can get one for super cheap

Disappointed, but expected.

I honestly thought Microsoft was going to end their conference with a $299 announcement, but realized they wouldn't when I saw the Halo trailer (Xbox One now $349).

The thing is this generation is all about profits. Sony got destroyed last generation finance wise and Microsoft at this point just wants the Xbox not to lose $8535 billion.

We will probably see price drops around November though.

Won't happen IBM who makes the PS3 and 360 chips has shut down there fabs so the PS3 and 360 are running on final stock.



I was waiting for Sony to drop one final bomb at E3. "Oh yea, almost forgot..." The place goes black and on the big screen $299.99!! Crowd explodes. My guess is they are going to wait til Gamescom, like they did with the PS3. Of course, it may only be a cut to $349, with possibly a $299 Black Friday SKU (which is when I'll probably get another one.)

You are right about the others, though. The PS3 and 360 are too expensive for how old they are. They should be $149 at most, as should the Vita. And the PS TV should be $49. Also, Nintendo definitely needs to give the Wii U a $50 cut if they want even the smallest uptick in their baseline sales. $299 is TOO much to ask for a console that is a little more powerful than the PS3, especially when you can get a XBO w/ game for $50 more or a PS4 w/ game for $100 more, both of which are significantly more powerful than last gen.



Will announce it later, closer to holidays and warranty the win.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

The 360 profit is being used to cancel the losses of Xbox One. I didn't expect a cut on that
