Maybe its time for Sony to do a Price cut?

Get the base model (500gb) down to 299$ so its priced the same as the Xbox One slim (500 gb).

Naaa. it's not time to panic, it's time to wait and see how information from E3 (the future games) affects sales. Sony won't want to get into a price war and being $50 more is a position they've been in from the start. At the moment we're just seeing what you would expect from a new iteration of a console, whether that leads to a change of guard is something only a few weeks on the market can show. Sony will still win June and July so perhaps, if things haven't changed back to normal, Sony will off a couple of free games with a bundle. They'll do anything they can before they reduce that price.

I think Sony should do it.

The new slim has 4k Ultra blu ray... it might be to time to give up that 50$ price point differnce for Sony.

I agree,its been 3 years and only a 50 dollar pricecut,its time for at least 50dollars less.

Remember that neo will also support 4K. It's just coming later. MS knew what they were doing by releasing the S in August.

Too many people panic. LOL. Sony are a business, not a fan on a forum!

The charts are messing up a bit at the moment.

Why Halo bundle is so high in the chartz ?, I thought that the bundle was 400-500US$.

I think for the same reason the PS4 Fool's Edition sometimes makes an appearance. There's a link to the Slim when you click the image so I think if you go through that link to buy a Slim it counts towards the Halo bundle too.

there was a $269 deal for the halo limited edtion bundle.
but now it's  sold out (that is also the reason, why the bundle is dropping quick. it was #10 yesterday)

 

not sure if it was a pricing error, or pricematch thing. 
the bundle should've been $349 like the elite one

A Xbox Bundle with the biggest Xbox One's game for just 270US$ is a excelent deal.

that seems smart
if they want to sell psvr to new customer and not only current ps4 owner, a $50 cut to $299 would make it much more affoardable

i also don't think they'll wait until the holiday season like last year 
this bf will be $249 or $299 with additional goodies
