PlayStation 4 price could come in above $400

4.6
According to a Japanese news source, the next-generation PlayStation 4 going to come in around $400.

A local newspaper made the claim that Sony had set the price internally above 40,000. This figure would roughly be about $430 at the current exchange rate.

Despite the claim from the newspaper, there are no official figures to support this. The price is rumored to be coming in around $399, but given the recent specifications of the PS4, a $400 price point would most likely mean that the console would be sold at a loss.

Sony's next-generation console will utilize the Gaikai cloud technology that Sony had purchased last year.

SovietRussia I wouldn't be surprised to be completely honest. We as consumers are brainwashed and we will pay for a device that's price is raised for profit x3 or x4. Game developers do the same thing. In my childhood a game would cost 12-20 dollars and everything would be ok. I understand that they now have servers etc to maintain but, it's ridiculous that they raised it 40+ bucks. The price will continue to rise just watch.


right, and then you get the device and it's not even half of what it was praised to be


Exactly. The same thing happens every year and we just sit there and take it.

SOG This is a fair price, I'm not going to lie.


What..? Not even? You could get a PC that is way better than this for less than that. PS3 always likes to overprice.

Compliance I think $400 is a bit much for the PS4.


The xbox 360 cost $400 when it came out.
