Xbox boss expects PS4 price cut next month

4.6
Microsoft is predicting rival Sony will cut the price of the PS4 very soon.

Such a move would follow last week’s price cut in Japan, announced at the Tokyo Game Show.

“I fully expect they [PlayStation] will drop price,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer told IGN.

“When I think about the playbook they’ve used in the past, we feel good about the plans we have in place going forward in the holiday. If history tells, then we’ll see a price drop from them coming.”

An official announcement would likely happen during Paris Games Week, taking place October 27. We’ll be reporting live from the press conference on the day.

If you’re thinking of buying a new PS4 before Christmas, you might want to hold back until the end of next month.

ThomasTheDankEngine They are going to need to because xbox is getting a lot better


No, they don't need to. PS4 is beating the Xbox One in sales by nearly double and Xbox One has been lower in price for quite a while now.


you live up to your name quite literally. Xbox would beat it in holiday sales if they didnt drop their price. Xbox one will be cheaper tho. Microsoft is filled with marketing geniuses. Halo right after christmas. hahahaha check and mate

I've been quite impressed with the PS4, even though I don't have many games for it. I still prefer xbox though.

Polygon They're probably using the lower price as a step for the VR 'console' they're bringing out.


nah they are lowering the price because otherwise xbox will be bought more
