WalMart.com Leaks $199 PS4 Slim Marvel’s Spider-Man Bundle

We’re not entirely sure if this the new standard price for the PS4 Slim this Fall OR a slick Black Friday Sale that has accidentally gone live too early, but WalMart.com has a PS4 Slim bundled with Marvel’s Spider-Man for $199.00!

$199.00 doesn’t seem right

$199.99 would seem more plausible

DarkVoyager2373d ago

Yea. If it happens to be true consider PS4 has already won Black Friday.

UltraNova2372d ago

Its going to break records for sure. Too good to be true.

JaguarEvolved2372d ago

I see PlayStation dominating this holiday season worldwide because it's the best gaming console.

Eonjay2372d ago

The .99 is what Walmart calls a 'savings' lol

PhoenixUp2373d ago

If it is that price at every retailer instead of just at Walmart, I’ll happily trade my 500GB PS4 into GameStop for $175 so then I’d only pay a mere $25 extra with tax so I can get a 1TB PS4 with a brand new game.

darthv722372d ago

You could do that or, you know, you could just put a 1tb drive in your PS4 for less. That's what I did.

No offense to those who get the slim but I like the look and aesthetics of my original. That gloss and girth it's so elegant. Yet the slim is quieter so there is that advantage.

Now if this was the spiderman 'themed' unit (like the pro) then heck yeah... I'd do the same thing. I dig themed systems.

PhoenixUp2372d ago

Because for $41.49 I can get twice the memory and a brand new game.

I’d prefer the original model myself, but the slim is the only one being sold new for cheap

I personally don’t like themed skins on my console anyway

343_Guilty_Spark2372d ago

Actually 199.79 since it’s walmart

italiangamer2373d ago

If this is confirmed, it's all over. We could see the highest selling quarter in PlayStation history.

Eonjay2372d ago

Sony: 'Spiderman will help us get to 100 million.' Yes, yes it will.

italiangamer2372d ago (Edited 2372d ago )

Damn, after seeing this bundle I know why they were so confident saying that.

PlayStationBrah2372d ago

Had a friend who works at another retailer confirm this too.. 🧐

PhoenixUp2373d ago (Edited 2373d ago )

I wouldn’t be surprised if it stayed at $200 or $250 going forward, but who knows

S2Killinit2372d ago

That would fly off the shelves before walmart can put the consoles on the shelf.

Kribwalker2372d ago

it would definitely sell a tonne of consoles. that’s a crazy deal

gangsta_red2372d ago

Agreed, I would recommend that deal to anyone who doesn't have a ps4

For those spreading lies here about Marvel making the most out of the deal...

The rate has tiers. 9% to 18% physical and 19% to 26% digital for the first 7 mil. So even if it's 26% for all versions it's not that much. Considering all platform holders charge 30%. And just like 30% is how much Sony is getting from call of duty.

Now let's think about how much money Microsoft is making off Indiana Jones on PS5 and steam since there is a platform cut of 30% plus the disney cut...ouch. 😏

Chevalier149d ago

Plus why would Disney mess with a deal where they sit back and make a crap ton of income without lifting a finger?! Idiots think Disney will say no to money? Lol

Yes considering the IP, 19-26% isn’t really that crazy.
For context google and apple wants 30% for selling your console and PC games on a phone.

Tacoboto148d ago

False
Proof: you are able to purchase titles within the Steam and PS Apps. You've always been able to.

The one exception is Xbox, where they both (1) have their own mobile store agenda, and (2) have remote play built into the core Xbox app, while PS Remote Play and Steam Link are separate apps.

Can someone explain me the math here. 20 million copies x $60 = $1.2 billion max (assuming every copy was sold at $60 which it possibly couldn't).

Even Gta5/RDR2 didn't generate this much revenue in their first year even though they sold much more. Something is off here with this revenue calculation.

Chevalier149d ago

Basically people like Boxx don't know wtf they are talking about. There was also an expensive collector edition of the game, faceplate, controllers and a special edition console. Add in new customers to Playstation buying the system to specifically play Spiderman and yeah you can bump up revenue in multiple areas. Spiderman is that popular.

It's a guy saying their games helped generate revenue...not any official revenue. He's touting revenue that wouldn't exist without the game. So ya toys and comics. This is not a sony financial report.

It took GTA 3 days. And Spider Man had a season pass as well that released all it's content a couple of months after launch.

“It took GTA 3 days. And Spider Man had a season pass as well that released all it's content a couple of months after launch “

Reminds me how many devices was gta released on and who’s fanbase bigger CoD or gta 🤦🏿.
Edit:Congrats to Sony.
Damn I missed a obscured account troll comment 😩

Amplitude148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Spiderman didn't have a season pass in the traditional sense. It was 3 story missions included in the Deluxe edition, but with the ability to purchase them all separately as a pass. They were multi-hour stories as well - It's not like Insomniac has been constantly building on Spiderman, collecting money monthly from players in exchange for monthly content drops.

Hell, all the skins they released were free for everybody and there have been a ton of them.
Why are we comparing Spiderman to GTA5 anyway? You can pick literally any game or media release and it doesn't compare to GTA5 sales - plus, one is exclusive to Pla-... this is dumb.

Redemption-64148d ago

It's only off if you decide to exclude accessories and custom consoles/bundles. Those are all part of the revenue

@TysonDor
Sure, if that helps you sleep better at night. You might not be smart enough to know this, but most games don't get bundles or their own custom consoles. If Sony, Nintendo, and MS create a custom console of a game that ends up selling millions, that revenue is counted towards that game. Video game sales are not the only way games make money.

They are not fudging any numbers, they are counting the money they made through this game, hell I would say it's more if we include merchandise sales too, but that goes to Marvel, not Sony
