PS4 to launch with 3 SKUs, ranging $399 - $599

[502Nels]

I just don't see them releasing 3 SKUS and the Vita not being in one of them. Especially if $599 is one of the prices. They know people aren't just gonna jump at paying that kinda price for a few more accessories and more harddrive space.

It makes a lot of sense, since they're requiring all ps4 games to be able to be played with remote play. It might even save the Vita

they did it 7 years ago. they bytched but they did it

If it comes in at $399 it's pretty much game over already, the more powerful system being cheaper is never a good look for a competitor.

I don't think launching at $499 would be smart, the One does/comes with more than it at that price IMO.

you still gotta buy live even at 499 and you gotta buy their proprietary mic or use Kinect to talk.

They cant do this. It never works out.

Whenever a company releases different skus people call the cheapest one the tard pack and wait until the version that is seen as definitive goes on sale.

Buy extras and flip them for the extra bread.

I'm not at the point yet where I have to cop multiple systems since my sons are only 1 and 5 thankfully. But I'm fukked in a few years...

truth

I was in target a cpl months ago with my sons, and my oldest one was playin 2k13 on the wii-u. He said he wanted a wii-u after playin 2k13, but even though it is cheaper that what the ps4 will be, I cant let my boys go out like that.

I was like son, the gawd system will be out for the holidays

Thing is we got multiple versions now of the 360 and PS3. It's not the same landscape it was back then.

It just happened with the Wii U. The cheap ones are selling so bad that retailers are starting to send them back and there are rumors Nintendo is discontinuing them completely.

If the base price is $399. I don't see people willing to pay $200 more for just those things is what I'm saying.

Hopefully Nintendo can swap out that 8GB and put 64GB in there.

Nintendo is being so stupid abot this whole thing

This only applies if the cheaper sku REALLY is a tard pack.

Xbox w/ no hardrive/No chrome disc tray,Xbox arcade pack/Very little hard drive.
20GB PS3 (Very little hard drive) No WiFi,and looked cheaper than the 60GB one
Wii U 8GB (Crap hard drive space)

nikka........Don't compare the basic Wii U (That ONLY HAD 8GB of storage in 2012) with basic PS4.

Ok so how about basic PS3 and 360? Both of those flopped as well.

He just trying to downplay PS4 having a cheaper price of entry than X1

btw I think this is bullshyt...No way they go back to "599" after the shytstorm last gen.

It doesnt matter though because that 399 model will be right there for friends. Those will probably be the hardest to find.

Not likely. I rememeber when Xbox and Ps3 first dropped the easiest ones to find were the "lesser" versions.
