Next generation is right around the corner for Microsoft and Sony, as Nintendo has already released their next generation system. The PS4, Wii U, and Xbox 720 will all host great games, but one of the keys to being successful in the console market is Price. Unsurprisingly, price can dictate a console generation and swing an unfavorable console at the beginning (PS3 2006), to a favorable spot by the generations ends (PS3 2013). Sony has clearly learned their lesson from the initial launches of the PSP and PS3. However, for the PS4 the price needs to be right. The Wii U is already nearing 2 million units sold, and the Xbox brand is immensely popular in the US. Although we don’t know the final specs or features of the PS4 or Xbox 720, where do you guys think Sony needs to price the PS4 when stacked up against the competition?
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
If they have a low priced model for around 399 bucks, I would buy the PS4 at launch.
Hopefully, they also make a low priced bundle with VITA+PS4 so more people can get into cross-play, cross-buy, cross-save, etc.
sony is in position to come in last this generation again no matter what...but the cheaper the system the better instead of listening to silly fanboys hoping for 4k res....price the system at 500 dollars or more and its over for them guaranteed , that would be their last console generation
Sony is a company that only care about quality I'm not saying is a bad thing but I doubt Sony gonna sell the PS4 for $400 at launch.
il be expecting a £399 price tag for the premium version of ps4 and expect a £349 model with smaller hdd, either way il be picking one up day one if theres some good launch games
Damn people! Lol...ps1 launched at 300 dollars 18yrs ago!! Get real...get a job and save...why do we expect to pay so low...you're gonna force Sony to make crap cos they cnt afford the quality based on cheapskate lazy gamers...$700 and you WILL get quality...heck Apple sold gazillions of ipads at extreme prices...otherwise Sony should close their doors rather. Anybody hear of porters five forces? These factors drive up prices...sometimes as gamers we work up our expectations...pay for what you want!
