With 4k booming i wont be suprised it does better than i am expecting. Gamers forget PS2 and PS3 came out the gates very expensive. Price isnt the issue with the X. In fact its priced quite well. Considering last gen we would pay similar for a slim model version with no benefits to the hardware at all. The industry will look at the X as the lastest Slim machine and over time as the price reduces it will sell even better due to its value.

PS3? Yes. PS2? Nah. $500 is in a boat by itself - whether in 2017 or the year 2000. The PS2 was hardly "very expensive". Beyond that, the PS2/3 weren't generation refreshes.
As for the latest "slim machine", it isn't being marketed like that and anyone jumping on the bandwagon knows that isn't what it is. It'll go down as what it is - an iterative console packing the biggest punch for the rest of the gen, but at a premium price.

I am not sure when you brought your PS2 or what they were sold at where you are from. In Australia the PS2's sold for over $750 at launch, thats $150 more than what the current X is being pre-ordered at and the PS3 being $999+ AUS dollars. They were overly expensive down under

^Just so you know i am not fibbing.
When you look at it, instead of having a new slim model console like last gen offered many times over, they instead give us a more powerful console at the same price as what the launch price was for the orginial model. I find it a much better value package. Last gen all they gave us was a smaller console that runs quietier. This Gen (like the X) they give us a slimmer design plus its 4 times the power. Bargain if you ask me.
