The Balance: Power vs. Price

If the cost is too high, then gamers will shy away. If the competitor delivers a better balance, then that could be game over. Simply put, careful consideration will be applied to the ingredients of Sony’s next generation console, namely; the hardware. When considering the PlayStation 3, as you can see from the above data, its heavy price came at the expense of Microsoft’s cheaper and less reliable console; the Xbox 360 – retailing at the smaller price of $299 / £209.99. Sony’s balance was corrected with the PlayStation 4, hence why it has become a world beater within the realms of console players.
