Bad news! Ps4 price should be cut or...

According to many websites we know the Playstation 4 price. It should be $799 for the basic edition and $899 for the deluxe one. At least for the Us market but I guess they could be 799 and 899 euros or pound in Europe (and not €620 and €699 or £530 and £600 according to actual change).

What a suicide decision!

What is wrong with them? Haven't they learnt nothing by the Ps3 launch in 2007? Haven't they learnt nothing by Move, Psp and Psvita fail launches? 

There is an huge economic crysis that comes along world to a worldwide collapse (especially in Europe) and people didn't waste their money buying useless stuff. I mean 'useless' because Ps3 is still a good console and videogames like 'Tomb Raider', 'Far cry 3' and masterpieces-to-be like 'The last of us', 'Remember me', 'Beyond two souls' and 'Gta V' are here to show it.

Ok, PS4 is much more powerful than PS3 and it will come along us for years but 900 euros is a very expensive price for most of those who'd want to buy it. 

I remember the PS3 launch: it cost as high as this and it was a fail. Later they decided to cut its price and sellings raised up till now when Ps3 is the second most sold console of this generation. After the Nintendo Wii. 

Well, what about the Wii's launch?

The real console was the 'wiimote', the revolutionary controller of that console, which was just a Gamecube with a new fashionable outfit.

It arrived in the market between two colossuses as Sony and Microsoft's consoles and anyboy could bet one pound on Wii but Nintendo started selling millions of Wiis since dayone. Why? Sure, the wiimote seemed a revolution, sure games were fun and casual gamers thought wiimote could be the cooler way to have a new funny party with friends but... At its launch the Wii cost €250 with a game in bundle. At the same time X360 cost double and Ps3 cost triple. It was more competitive than others and it won.

Lately, Nintendo has made the same Sony's mistake with the WiiU launch: it's more innovative than Wii or others but it costs too much for the actual economy. And it's still on shelves.

The right price for a console is €250/300. I assume fanboys will buy it at dayone but others (especially casual gamers) will buy it when it'll cost less. 

Will it be an epic fail or Sony's managers will be wiser?



Update: According the Sony's E3 conference we know the real now. It will be $399 in the US, €399 in Europe and £349 in UK.
Good but not perfect because it doesn't think of the change.
To have pair prices everywhere we should have (getting the dollar as a reference):
US - $399
EURO - €300
UK - £250

If we start from the English Pound, prices worldwide should be:
UK - £349
EURO - €400
US - $540

So, if you want to buy the new PS4 the cheapest place will be the United States' market.
