If you’re expecting the price of the PS4 to drop, it won’t be happening anytime soon.
Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida revealed the following during an interview with Shack News:
Our hardware teams have chosen more standardized components to create PlayStation 4 and that’s contributing to our launch price of $399 versus $599 for the PS3 Because we’re already using more standardized components, the room for costs to come down might actually be slower than when we were starting with cutting edge stuff.
Considering the PS4 launched at $399 as opposed to $599 on the PS3, this is to be expected. The launch price is more reasonable and a lot of people have bought/pre-ordered the console already. The PS4 is out now in North America and comes out in more countries on November 29th.
