Massive Lines In South Korea For The PlayStation 4 after Price cuts
- Thread starter patapon
- Start date
To be really fair, that's a markdown of USD $100 north. Which says enough due to stagnant wages across most of Eastern Asian regions.
With how much Sony will earn in FY2018 thanks to PlayStation, Sony would be "stupid" to release PS5 before Holiday 2020 yeah
I need this in the US. I've been waiting for a price cut since 2017 to jump in. I'm DYING for one. I just want a $300 Pro.
You've had your chance already. Honestly though at this point just spend the money and get the system. You can find deals on them and in the end another 50 bucks isn't going to matter.
I think the idea is to sell both ps4 and ps5 well at different market price. Sony didn't want to wait ps4 to slow down too much before launching ps5
That's insane for just a price drop.

Love the first guy who is speed walking to his goal and then all hell breaks loose
Wasn't there a BF Pro bundle for 300 plus either RDR2 or BLOPS 4?
I finally got one last January, used for $350. I couldnt wait.
Of course deals for a brand new Pro around the same price came after I got mine.... :-(
(I know it's edited but it's still funny)
My lord the memories of this time, lol.
Lmaoooooo I didn't even notice him at first , that's amazing , he just grabs it and dips out

I would suspect that the sale is related to Lunar New Year, but that isn't until Feb 5.

Do Koreans celebrate Lunar New Year?
Otherwise, seems like a very weird choice of timing for such a big discount.
Lunar New Year sales usually happens from early January and ends before the New Year itself.

Reminds me that Korea actually has a lot of dedicated PlayStation stores... like little computer stores, but they only sell PS4 and games. Hadn't seen anything like that before, not even in Japan.
Yep, they celebrate Lunar New Year -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_New_Year
Japan, however, does not. https://www.sushisushi.co.uk/blogs/education/do-people-in-japan-celebrate-lunar-new-year
This somehow reminds me of Brazil getting new games for the Master System when it was dead in Europe. Amazing how some countries are different when it comes to consoles.
Not if the PS5 isn't backwards compatible.
It's far more beneficial for a consumer to buy a console late in it's lifespan than a console at launch.
Why pay more for far less games and more bugs?
lol, seriously, let Sony do official price cuts for the Pro and again for the base PS4 all over the world....its going to be chaos.
I'd double dip on a Pro slim so fast. Especially if it had 2 terabyte HD.
Yet if the PS5 IS backwards compatible then it's a better deal overall.
It's incredible there hasn't been any price cut since 2016. I get that the console still sells well and there's no reason to lower the price, but I'm sure it would be really beneficial in some markets (like Japan, where 200$ deals don't exist)
Sony hasn't exactly instilled confidence in their player-base that their PS5 will feature backwards compatibility.
I'm certainly not interested in gambling towards a PS5 launch purchase.
Also, the PS5 still isn't releasing for several years.
That gives consumers plenty of time to catch on the PS4's library while also being able to play all the upcoming cross-gen releases after the PS5 launches.
I mean...that's a lot of money. $120 can buy you loads of food for example. Even a $50 cut would be great.
It's not worth nearly getting trampled. $120 is not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things.
