E3 2017: No Plans to Drop PS4 Pro's Price, Says Sony

Platform holder's happy with performance

Sony’s mid-gen console the PlayStation 4 Pro is already $100 cheaper than Microsoft’s newly announced Xbox One X, and the Japanese giant has admitted that it has no plans to change the price of the platform any time soon.

“Do you think it’s too expensive?” Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida quipped when asked about a potential price drop. “We are very happy with the quality of the games that are playable on the PS4 Pro, and the feedback that we get back from consumers is also really positive. So, we don’t have any plans to change.”

To be fair, the console’s been in and out of stock since its launch last year after the platform holder admitted that it miscalculated demand. We still reckon you will see some pricing tweaks across the entire line this year – but not until nearer to Christmas.

They don't really need to since the competition is 100 bucks more.

Don't need to. If anything, Sony will likely include a game or extra controller before dropping the price.

I'm sure there will be some good deals for Ps4 Pros in November anyways, so the price difference will be much bigger than $100 when Xbox One X launches.

If they have plans they won't inform them like this and make people hold purchases... when the price is to drop it'll be on very short notice.

Well obviously they're not going to say that they're planning on dropping the price in the future, or else sales would plummet while people are waiting the the price cut.

With a $100 gap and likley more future wiggle room, they'll probably just wait and see how the X does. I'd be surprised if we don't at least get some holiday deals though.

Since when is there competition for the PS4 Pro?

I'm not liable for stupid comments Phil Spencer makes xD

If that's the case then $100 more for the X1 X isn't too bad considering what you get with it.
