Sony is expected to reveal the Playstation 4 on 20 February, and it\u2019s been reported that \u201cindustry sources\u201d have leaked the yet-to-be-announced console\u2019s price.<\/p>\n
“Industry sources and leaked internal documents suggest that Sony is considering pricing the new device at about \u00a3300, more than \u00a3100 cheaper than the starting cost of its predecessor,” said British newspaper The Times.<\/p>\n
The Times\u2019 article also adds that Sony won\u2019t announce this price at the event, along with the release date, as Sony will wait to see what Microsoft has up their sleeve.<\/p>\n
“Because company executives want to see Microsoft’s updated Xbox before PS4’s release, Sony is unlikely to reveal exact prices or dates for the new PlayStation at next week’s event,” adds the newspaper.<\/p>\n
\u00a3300 then equates to under R4,200, which is a\u00a0significant\u00a0amount lower than the PS3’s SA launch price. However this guesstimate doesn’t take into account the channel costs of getting the product onto SA shores.<\/p>\n
