Pretty sad we get this before a official announcement.

The only exciting parts left are the price of the slim and the Neo reveal, and I think Sony is taking the max profit margin route on the slim.

Pretty sad we get this before a official announcement.

We should label this rumored breakdown.

Me too, $299 and $449 but imagine the carnage at $249 and $399!

I think Sony want to beat MS but not destroy them. It's why companies price fix, they don't want to go down the route where they are knocking lumps out of each other to beat each other on price and both end up worse off. At $299 Sony will beat MS but not by enough that MS decide to go into a price war to compete.

I still believe the Slim will be $250 to at max $280, they've been able and willing to sell the standard PS4 bundled with the biggest third party game out there aside from GTAV at no additional cost since the game launched. If they are willing to eat the cost of putting Blops 3 into every PS4 at $350 then I simply don't see why they'd suddenly feel like they'd need to try and maximize their profits on slim hardware. The real money is in software and subscriptions, we all know that, get that price down to $250 and watch the PS4 have launch like sellout situations again.

On Neo I agree with between $400-450.

I did think about $280, and then bump it up to $300 with Watchdogs 2 or CoD bundled.

Microsoft has been having a price war though... they've been losing it
