Will the PS4 be more than $600 at launch?

As we know, the one major complaint of the PS3 was the launch price, now I am considering moving from Xbox to PlayStation (Many reasons, mostly opinion). However, the price may worry me, I have about $300 in the bank, and I can certainly earn more. However, if it's more than $700, I'm not biting. I'm worried Live will raise in price, so it's a lose/lose situation. PS. I would switch to PC but nobody I know plays PC.

  • I'm with you. I would very much like to get a PS3, but If I see anything over 650$, I can take my money elsewhere. Though with all the rumors about how It won't be over $550, I'm sure Sony won't rob us... again. I guess we'll just have to wait and see for sure.

  • I don't think it will be, the cost of the PS3 was so high because they developed the cell processor for it, and it backfired on top of being super expensive. I'd guess $350 at it's lowest.Probably more around $400.

  • I dont think the new Playstation will be anywhere near that price. but who knows it could be. but look at it this way not everyone has alot of dough to by expensive consoles some people i know are still playing PS2 or even friggin Gamecube. but like heiterkeit GBG said i think it will be around the $400/$500 price range because they would want to make it more affordable for the players around the world. Playstation has always been about the fans and supporting the people. But who knows you never know what the price range will be. maybe they will come out with smaller gigs like they did with PS3. but until the PS4 comes out who knows?

  • If it were to be priced at $600 now I don't think it would be as much a cluster-blam!- as it was in 2006. Tablets reach that price and nobody bats an eye. Granted, they're completely different technologies here, but I just think people would handle it better. Of course, this all depends on what the Nextbox is priced at. A difference >$100 would probably be an awful start for Sony in the next generation.

  • Lol no. Its rumored to cost about $400 or something like that. No way is it gonna be more than $450, Sony have learnt from their mistakes.
