This summer 2018, Sony will cut the prices of PS4 and PS4 Pro down to $249 and $349 respectively

Hey guys, if you are planning to buy a new gaming console this summer but you're still confused to pick which one between PS 4, PS 4 Pro or Xbox One X for you, we have great news here. So according to Michael Patcher, who is Wedbush Securities analyst, Sony PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro will likely get their price slashed during this summer (yay!).

So Michael Patcher said that, in order to counter the arrival of Microsoft's latest and greatest Xbox One X this summer season -, Sony will likely reduce the prices of both PS 4 and PS4 Pro this summer. He guessed that the 'classic' PlayStation 4 will go down to $249, while its more powerful sibling will get its price slashed to $349.

This is actually much cheaper than Xbox One X that will cost $499. Xbox One X itself had been released officially November 7 last year, around the holiday season.

This is really important thing to do for Sony because its main rival now is not only Microsoft, but also Nintendo that has been getting such a massive success with its Nintendo Switch. And not to mention, Switch will have many exclusive titles coming out this summer like Elder Scrolls and many more. .

Patcher said:

‘I don’t think Microsoft is all that competitive. Xbox One S is priced the same as the PS4, and I don’t think they are competitive at all with the Xbox One X, currently priced at $100 more than the PS4 Pro, and highly likely to be priced $150 more than the PS4 Pro by Holiday. My guess is, Sony will cut the everyday PS4 price to $249, and the PS4 Pro price to $349 this Holiday, and Microsoft will be too expensive, so Sony will keep its price advantage this Holiday.’

But despite having a fierce competition from Microsoft and Nintendo, we think Sony will still be in a great shape during the summer, mainly because its PS 4 consoles have been selling like hot cakes so far, way better than Microsoft's Xbox One console in fact.

And besides, in the next few months and next year, there will be hordes of highly anticipated games that will be exclusively released on Sony PlayStation 4, like the new Spiderman game, Days Gone, Last of Us and tons of other great games.


So we believe Sony PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 4 Pro can be a decent option for you especially if you want to play many awesome games this summer. We totally recommend you to snatch this machine instead of Xbox One X.
