PS4 gets a new, lower price starting Friday: $349.99
- Thread starter Blablurn
- Start date
No, because this post shows that the exchange rate of currency doesn't matter for some markets.
It's fairly more complicated than just exchange rates, but it's the sticker shock that's bugging some people.

It's also especially annoying cause Sony books profit in JPY. Good for them that they're getting more Yen for each unit sold in the US but I don't see that as a reason to screw us over.

Neat. My wife and I wanted to get a second PS4 so we could play together in multiplayer games. This'll make it easier.
Don't forget that they have to bundle in The Last of Us, Bloodborne, and Uncharted 4
Hope you're patient hahaha

That he does. He just bent over all Canadians a couple days ago, spread collective cheeks wide for a good ol fashioned shagging by the TPP. "Get ready boys and girls, we're goin in dry!"
Gotta love fascist sell-outs who run pretty much all Western "Democracies" at this point. As per usual most in the US, Canada, Australia, etc... don't even know what the TPP is since - quelle surprise - the corporate owned media doesn't cover it for the most part and when they do its the company line about how great it's going to make everyone's lives by *cough,cough* offshoring millions more living wage jobs because increased trade, something, something....
Very nice, this is just great to watch how this two companies are fighting for the customer money, Sony is not about to give away the Holidays like last year, I wonder if MS will stay at the same price.
Didnt Phil said he was expecting Sony to price cut the PS4 for the Holidays or was it Patcher?

OK! FINE! JEEZ!
Here you go-
lol. I think he was looking for the "Well,There it is!" one.
Thanks for the kind words
The reason I originally had Q2 at 3.4m (then revised down to 3.2m) is because I thought that would be the most likely time we would see a price cut. The price cut has now taken place (pretty much worldwide) during the first week of October and so I believe the price cut combined with new 1200 models will increase Q2 shipments to cater for this price cut at the beginning of Q3 and so that there is adequate stock in channel for October.
Therefore I would say that we should see around 3 million if not more this quarter to account for the upcoming immediate spike in sales.
That's not to say that Q3 won't be high. But I do think we're more likely to see Q2 at or over 3m. So yeh, it's good.
If Q2 is lower than 3 million then I certainly expect Q3 to be higher than 7.5m
Ok thanks for the reply.
When is the Sony Quarter report anyway?

PS4 should win every NPD for the remainder of the year.
But he's proposing giving new mothers 18 months holiday, so he's the hero!! Fuck I will be depressed if he gets re-elected. I may have to defect.
OT: Figured this price drop would come soon- timing is pretty good for taking back some of Oct from the Halo train.
Phil said it after Sony announced the price drop in Japan lol.

This will definitely be interesting.
A price cut versus halo. Who will win.
I think most people will probably just wait for statwars/cod bundle, so Ms will win October.

So you get the price-drop and the gift card. Essentially $100. That's a great deal.
I still don't think Halo is as big as it used to be. No doubt it will move consoles, but not like it used to.
But it doesn't look like it will be a blow-out this year. No firesales from MS (most likely) and Sony being far more aggressive will ensure that.

Gearing up towards the Holidays.
I don't know why it matters so much if you release games the last 2 months of the year. If people would look past those months they would see it has already released plenty this year. This month has about, what, 4? (oh yeah those don't count, nevermind). I hope Sony never follows the MS formula of focusing only on those 2 months and continues to release games throughout the year. MS clearly has fooled everyone. It's stupid.
I'm going to just keep laughing maniacally. I got my PS4 over a year ago for $299 refurbished.
That, to me, is the sweet spot. Though PS4 won't drop that low for a long while officially. They're selling too well.
Granted, it didn't come with any nice bundles, and sometimes that makes all the difference.

I'm surprised it took so long, honestly. I was expecting it to happen at E3.
This is the longest a Sony console has gone without a price drop iirc.

I dunno that you can bet on that given Halo 5 and MS' deep pockets when it comes to offsetting stuff like this, but it'll be cool to watch regardless.

Or just go south of the border into the states to buy your electronic goodies like every other good maple syrup blooded Canadian 😉
