To be fair I was typing quick as I was leaving work.  I meant $399 as my prediction.  Not $350, but that was my mistake, hence it is on me.  And I will have to disagree.  People were quite shocked with the ps4 being $399, most thought it was going to be $499.  Either way, this is all speculation.  I stand by my stance.  Time will tell who is right and who is wrong.  I feel perfectly safe with my predication of $399.  

Again, when the ps3 launched, online was free.  Sony now has the luxury of offsetting console loss with PSN+ money.

I have always bought most systems at launch. However... my gaming took a big downturn this gen.... barely even play them... my Xbox one x is basically a paper weight... I think I’m gonna wait next gen. Unless there is a game I feel I absolutely need to play... I’ll wait until they get cheap... or not at al...

By the time, there might be a Switch Lite at 150, base Switch at 250 and "Super Switch*" at 350, they will hold the pace better than the Wii against the PS3 and X360

* Whatever it is, this thing will never be called Switch Pro and you know it, simply because this name has been to much used in rumors.

True.

I have to assume he meant PS3 and got it mixed with PS4 or something...

That's not really how I remember it. Rather people were shocked that the XBO was $499. And the reaction to the PS4 price was due to it being cheaper than XBO announced the day before. But prior to either price being announced I don't think people would have been shocked by a $399 console.

$399 for ps5 or Scarlett is inconceivable.

I really don’t want to pay a thousand bucks for a PlayStation/ Xbox, but it looks like Japanese support will remain on those systems so at the end of the day, price doesn’t matter

As is always the case those that can buy at a given price pint will buy it.

Those that can't will wait until the price is more acceptable to them.

Yeah, that wins. The crowd was way smaller for this ( hate to use the term ) mic drop moment, but it's deserves a mention. Mic drop before mic drop was a thing....*shudder*.

Pricing higher than $499 at launch is going to cause more problems than adding some cost to existing and new services or features next gen. Spreading out the console losses through PS Plus and other means in small increments won't be unexpected next gen so it would be easy to hide. 

This thread have already been discussed recently in VGC.
And PS5 will be as much for hardcore gamers as were PS4, so no point in using that as evidence to say it will cost more. X1 was for a bigger audience, focused on TV but costed 100 more than PS4.

And your pool doesn't have any option to say you are wrong or for people to vote the price they think will be.
