Sony's going for the jugular.

Strike hardest when the enemy is weak

[darthv72]

the price drop should be $100 (at least) for that... haha

[fr0sty]

@darth the sales numbers in the UK, where this price cut has already been implemented, strongly disagree with you.

[seanpitt23]

Have you guys heard yourself!

[darthv72]

sorry frosty... I thought this was in the US.

[InUrFoxHole]

No. They are going for off loading before the slim. I'd save my $ till then. Unless that kinda thing doesn't matter to you.

That's November..

This is for kids on summer holidays

Not everywhere is hot and sunny like California, some kids, need things to do when it's raining/cold and this, is it.

They going to bury Xbox. Xbox will turn around and justify the mobile/streaming shift.

[fr0sty]

They already are burying Xbox... this is just another nail in that coffin. Sony put the hammer away and busted out the nail gun.

[anast]

hahaha true

[purple101]

Its airline too .not even battery powered. They are going full Bosch on M$ ass

[fr0sty]

Like "oh, you wanna buy up a bunch of publishers with the expressed intent of putting us out of business? Hey y'all, watch this! Hold my Dual Sense..."

[neutralgamer1992]

i believe they want as many gamers to buy PS5 as possible because once someone buys into the ecysystem they are a lot less likely to leave for another platform

[Eonjay]

Will be interesting to see if Amazon takes the bait.

[Sonic1881]

Probably not

[jznrpg]

They usually match other places so I wouldn’t be surprised

[ChasterMies]

This is how Sony goes for the jugular. Microsoft can’t afford to make games exclusive if it doesn’t have any marketshare. Also clear that the discless PS5 will be the single PS5 going forward and the disc drive will be an add-on. When the $300 PS5 slim launches, the hot sales of PS5 will go super nova. (Don’t feel like you need to wait. On an annual cost basis, you may be better off getting a $400-$450 PS5 that you can use now versus waiting for a console that will be obsolete sooner.)

"Microsoft can’t afford to make games exclusive if it doesn’t have any marketshare".

Sheesh, and here I thought M$ had a monopoly on the gaming market. Sony owing most of the market means it'll be easier for M$ to buy publishers to compete lol

[InUrFoxHole]

Stand by my boy. Digging up this goal post. Pardon while I write my new narrative.

[EasilyTheBest]

Looking forward to when Microsoft drops the price of the Xbox Series X & the comments will be that Microsoft are desperate lolol

[Magatsuhi]

I'll just wait for a sale on Best Buy or Amazon. F target!

[Hofstaderman]

Microsoft can’t catch a break.

[shadowT]

good deal

[franwex]

That’s what Microsoft should’ve done when Sony announced the price increases. But they are playing monkey see monkey do.

Good job Sony. At least Sony wants people to buy their console.
