i could see a 345$ price tag for PS4 happening if sony is willing to put the booth against MS throat .

 

[shinobi602]

pachter's gonna be pissed you started a thread with his name in the title.

Just for you Pach.

 

[dallow_bg]

Yeah right at those prices.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

$349 for PS4........0_0

 

[Interfectum]

$349 is too good to be true. No way it will happen.

 

[Danielsan]

$349 for the PS4 with Sony not selling it at a loss? I highly doubt it. It would be a pitch perfect price point though.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Hope he's wrong.

 

[Kyoufu]

$349?

:lol :lol

In your wildest dreams.

 

[boinx]

Please be right this one time Pachter

 

[SiteSeer]

do it sony, kill the xbone before it even has a chance to live!

 

[Impeccable]

$250 less than I am willing to pay. More games for me.

 

[krae_man]

Every new console sells out right away because scalpers have visions of making triple their money. Unfortunately for them, those days are probably gone.

 

[Lulubop]

Hell, I'd get a PS4 at launch at that price. No way.

 

[schwabdizzle]

Fuck Yeah they will sell out. I am guess preorders will start right after E3.

 

[antitrop]

Way too low on the prices. I bet they will both sell out, though.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Just another note. Too bad the notes are being written by those million monkeys in space with a type writer. Next up, Othello. Gonna be a while.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

$350 sounds too good to be true.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Oh God I wish Pachter was right about stuff.

 

[Chance Hale]

For the people saying the PS4 will cost more, wouldn't the xbox be a bit more expensive due to the bundled in kinect? Even if Sony does the same with the PS4 Eye the kinect is more involved tech. I paid something like 150 for the kinect at launch.

 

[Brokun]

I hope those prices are accurate.

 

[Drencrom]

Both will be around $399~$499

 

[zeopower6]

It's breaking preorder records? Where...?

 

[Interfectum]

Hope he's wrong.

why?

 

[AwRy108]

$349 would be a megaton if sony hit that. I don't expect anything less then $399 myself.

Ditto for the Xbone.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Gawge]

XBOne has to be cheaper than PS4 to truly compete. XBOne does have a good amount of sales in the bag, but if the PS4 was cheaper and generally perceived as 'better', then it would lose a considerable portion of those 'nailed-on sales'.

 

[Dahbomb]

Those prices are too good to be true.

Damn it Pachter....

 

[equap]

does this guy just pull these prices out of his ass or what?

 

[Iacobellis]

If EITHER of these consoles are $350, then best of luck to Nintendo.

 

[Spongebob]

$350 for the PS4 would absolutely amazing.

 

[EMT0]

If the PS4 is $349.99....oh boy lolol.

 

[Psi]

No way PS4 is less than $399.

 

[antitrop]

Holy shit new threads are moving fast today. Unusually fast.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

#PS4$349

 

[pharmboy044]

That PS4 price is something I've heard from 1 person only. The other thought 399 so that one guessing thread we have going will have a lot of people off since I seen a ton of 449/499 guesses.

Was that $349 person taking into account the inclusion of the PSeye?

 

[kittens]

That sounds pretty optimistic for the prices. Hope he's right.

 

[def sim]

I would buy a PS4 day one at that price.

 

[Kouriozan]

One thing, "Wii U to be sold out until March"
*Don't believe his lies!*

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That's too good to be true.

One of the 2 guys I've talked to for a while said that Sony was shooting for 299 before the 8GB GDDR5 bomb.

349-399 is very possible but until Sony says it I would keep expectations tempered.

 

[Sir Garbageman]

If I were betting I'd say $399 base model $449 or $499 premium model for both consoles.

 

[n00bsauce]

glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks those prices seem a bit cheap

 

[Killthee]

Those prices would be great.

 

[PJV3]

The enormous cases for the Xbone and kinnect probably added $50.

 

[Gadirok]

I don't believe it hitting for $349. Unrealistically low from the get go compared to this gen.

Heck, PS3 is still $279 after 6-7 years in the market. I know its a completely different situation but I'm suspecting $400 at the very least.


Anyways, as soon as PS4 hits $300 I'm in.

 

[jim2point0]

5 minutes and almost page 3.

We really love Pachter 'round here

Also, those prices seem cheap.

 

[Alucrid]

$349 would have me there day one. DAY ONE.

 

[demolitio]

That would be hysterical (and sad) if the PS4 cost less at launch. I expect around the same price or maybe $50 more for the PS4 if anything, but it would be nuts if it was the opposite and would back up a lot of people who complained about being forced to buy a Kinect. You kind of expect the more beefy console to cost more but nothing is certain, especially when one of the companies is coming off of a pricing disaster last-gen and are trying not to repeat it in any way while fixing a lot of the other problems people had with them.

I kind of expect multiple SKU's from $349.99 to $499.99 but that's the most I could possibly see. I think MS really needs to launch cheaper than Sony though.

Obviously, this is just Pachter speculating so nothing too serious at the moment, but I fear that would be a huge mistake on MS's part.

 

[LTWood12]

I'll hold my excitement until we confirm Fuse moves 5 million.

 

[kingocfs]

And suddenly GAF will be praying at the Shrine of Pachter from now until November.

 

[Violater]

Ebay would be a bloodbath.

 

[anexanhume]

No way Sony hits $349 with a box that has 8GB of GDDR5. 399 min.
