PlayStation 4 Pro Price Cut to $299 on Amazon - News

I got mine for $299 a couple of years ago.

I could have sworn that they lowered it to $349 a while ago.

I thought I remember reading that too, but I know I've seen the price mostly up around $399 still regardless, but with bundles. Just because SNY drops it's MSRP doesn't mean that's what it has to sell for, or lower. They are in a much better situation than MS right now, so as long as it sells, retail can so as they please.

This was meant as a reply for Padib,and trying to delete it in this thread did make it double post. strange

It definitely does not make sense to spend $300 for a soon-to-be-outdated system, espcially when most evidence points to the new system being able to play the current system's games.

Yeah. If it's one or the other, wait for the PS5.

Of course they make money of PS+ and games that have always been how consoles works. But considering PS4 launched at 399 (breaking even with one game sold and a PS+ sub) which became break even on HW alone 1 year later, then you can be sure 5 years later it cost below 199 for baseline PS4 and 299 for PS4Pro that is basically the same console but with slightly bigger HDD and doubled GPU, probably the cost difference for sony between both is within 50-100 USD.

Their absence from E3 is not a bad thing. Also, losing money is a joke!

Xcloud?

@Padib I think people are getting angry because you come across a bit naive while at the same time pretending MS is making amazing choices. Sony just had an amazing gen and blew MS out of the water pretty much humiliated them. To the point MS is now saying Sony and Pointed aren't even competition anymore because MS doesn't want the bad publicity of "losing to Sony" so now they change their targets which makes them look better.

Sony on the other hand just had an amazing gen came out on top by a massive margin to the point MS is the one we should all be worried about. They got stomped by both Nintendo and Sony this gen easily. MS seems to have made some changes but what will the result be? MS in the past has not always had a positive relationship with studios forcing them to make games they don't want to it's been a consistent complaint with them. MS has always made big promises about games and failed to deliver. Sony has delivered top tier exclusives gen after gen and in the final year of PS4 they are going to release their biggest exclusive so far. What's MS releasing? Nothing they are preparing for next gen like they always do leaving their customers high and dry just like they did me with my 360.

Sony said there will be backwards compatibility on the PS5 that's over 100 million users having the ability to bring their gaming library with them. MS is now put in a position where they not only have to keep their current fan base but have to convince Sony fanbase to leave their library behind and their trophies behind. Good luck with that. I'm not a fan of MS but I do feel they push Sony to do better so I want them to succeed but these decisions worry me. It just feels like MS is once again focused on other things (being a service provider to as many devices as possible) instead of focusing on gamers.

In all honesty I feel there is a very real possibility that MS makes a deal with Sony to bring Game pass to the Sony eco-system. I'm telling you that's all MS cares about is getting monthly payments for their services. They want to be the Netflix of gaming so to speak.

@Method114
Whats MS releasing this year? Ori and the Will of the Wisp and Halo Infinite with possibly even more with Battletoads, Bleeding Edge, Wasteland 3, Age of Empires 4 and Grounded. I have also missed many other games aswell.

You than say MS are leaving there customers high and dry.. do you research before posting? They are supporting there base X1 platform for the next 1 to 2 years after there next gen console launches.

Gamers had no issue switching from the 360 to PS4 and while you hate on MS, alot of those PS4 owners possibly already have an Xbox account from the previous gen.

Sony have signed up to Azure, so now Sonys success is MS success. They are no longer competing anymore.

Post debunked. I am suprised you have upvotes. Says alot on this site.

I agree, padib. PlayStation is doomed.

Its unfortunate that after all these years on this site, Happy/Padib is still unable to grasp data and information that is right in front of him and just spews nonsense. His negative thought process is all over the place for Sony. It reads like a who's who of troll posts here and on other sites. Sony losing money on console sold, competition of competitors for next gen (how PlayStation is behind), lack of an appearance at E3, weekly Japan sales for February 2020. All this stemming from a post saying that Amazon is running a special on two PS4 models (no material effect on Sony, unless they are preparing for an official MSRP price cut). Who does that? There is no context at all and even when someone who takes their time (a wasted effort) to explain how wrong he is, he reverts back to "well if you don't like my opinion, I won't post anymore".
