The Verge: Rumor - The PS4 will cost more than 40,000 YEN - $400

[Liquid]

no shock here, but pretty much a confirmation...FIGHT! Too bad for those who thought sony would try to match the $350 price point of the Wii U

PlayStation 4 report suggests $400+ price (update) | The Verge

The PlayStation 4 will launch this year for over 40,000 yen (about $428), according to a report in major Japanese daily the Asahi Shimbun. That's the first clear indication we've gotten on how much the new system might cost, and suggests that while Sony isn't pricing the PS4 too aggressively next to the likes of the Wii U, it may have learned its lesson from the shaky PlayStation 3 launch.

For comparison, upon release in 2006 the PS3 cost around 60,000 yen in its more expensive configuration, and $599 in the US. Meanwhile, the cheapest PS3 now costs 24,980 yen in Japan versus $269 in the US. Were the PS4 to launch at 40,000 yen in Japan, we'd expect an American price point of around $400 or more.

I am going with a $449 and $500 release date price. No $599 option

Thats why they're dropping it asap


with probably wack launch titles


a year or two goes by and there will be solid titles + a more reasonable price.



Drop it early so by time the next Xbox drops it will be the same price or cheaper with better hardware

$399 In the US.

$450 is justified for what I'm expecting from this console.

I'll work two jobs to buy this.

Remember, us prices and overseas prices usually don't match. Their currency is more valuable than the dollar. I'll agree with the above poster..$399 in the US

Maybe you should redo that equation bruh
If the Yen is worth MORE then that means its more expensive here.
Now over there its worth about $425 US
So like the report says, you lookin at $450 to $500 for they system
With the more likely scenario being $450 and $550 if not a repeat performance of last gen
Why not, you idiots gonna buy it anyway (sony's words, not mine)
