Rumor: PS4 And PS Vita May Be Getting A Price Drop

4.6

Earlier in the year, we saw Microsoft toying with a reduced price for the Xbox One, putting it at $350 (instead of $400)-- a price that hasn't changed since. This reduced price put the Xbox One in a more competitive battle with the PlayStation 4 which up until last month had been outselling the Xbox One in the U.S. on a regular basis.

Sony won't be laying around while Microsoft adopts a lower price for their current-gen console. Sony's retail loyalty site (a site where video game retailer employees visit to learn about upcoming products) has revealed that Sony will be dropping the price of the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4.

The retail loyalty site is giving the retail employees a chance at winning a PlayStation 4 and Vita (amongst other Sony products), in the contest's details - hidden in the rules of the contest new prices for the PS4 and Vita were listed. The PlayStation 4 is listed at $349 ($50 price drop) and the Vita is listed at $89 ($110 price drop). Whether or not there is a price drop is actually on the way has yet to be confirmed, treat this as rumor for now.

E3 is just around the corner, if there's a drop in price coming - that will be the time to announce it.

Dropping the PS4 price still wouldn't convince me changing console.

Miss One rumor I actually hope to be true at some point. If it is, I may have to get my hands on a Vita, maybe even a PS4 if all goes well. Knowing Sony, this will most likely happen at some point, maybe an announcement at E3?

Please dont, my brother got one and played it for 20 mins. Been in his cupboard ever since. Just worth getting a plain old psp

I wish i got mine for cheaper. I can't complain though since I didn't buy mine myself.
