Rumored PS4 and Vita price drops won't happen

4.7

Last week, the rumors of a PS4 and Vita price drop were going around. The alleged price drops (PS4 $349 and Vita $89) were said to announce as soon as E3. Those who were hoping to get your hands on a new console for less, you're in for a letdown.

Sony announced that the above price drops anytime soon would be frivolous, silly and just plain foolish. These price drops will not be happening for very good reasons.

The PlayStation 4 has been selling great. Sony has sold 20.2 million units as of March 2015. The PS4 has outsold the Xbox One all but three months of this console generation. It's not quite the time for Sony to lower the price on the PS4.

As for the Vita, a drastic price drop for that will not be happening. The sales of Vita's are not strong, but a drastic change in the price would indicate that Sony is giving up on it.

The Sony press conference is on June 15th and you can watch it right here on TheTechGame Homepage.

DPM If the price drops did happen they would of sold so many more consoles, but they've already done so well with them that they probably wouldn't need to drop the price.

Ps vita is doing pretty bad in sales so they should of dropped it tbh.

As you said. I don't know a single person that owns a Vita.

Sony should be giving up on the Vita, it has no chance against the other hand held devices that exist today.

Sony is clearly in denial. That would not be foolish whatsoever, as it would put them at a competing price with their competitor. For the few people that don't want to spend $400 on one, this would be the way to get it. I hope, for the sake of them, that they're lying about this rumor not being true.
