Would you pay $1000 for a new PS4?

Would not pay even 500, the PlayStation brand has been kind of a disappointment, I was so excited when i bought my psp then the games we not really there, then ps3 not as good as i hoped for so this new system makes me nervous to even buy at all until price is at its minimum most likely.

There's no way I would even pay $500!!! So hell nall!

thats gold aye? nevaaaaaaaaaaaa ill stick with my old system!

Due to the votes one in every 10 or so people would but it max price 500
dont make a mistake like the ps3 relese price.

Not a chance
stick with the old ps3

If a video game system ever costed that much money, I would never support the gaming industry again.

Are they on drugs? Hello! That's highway robbery!

rumor has it that the Xbox 720 will have cloud storage, and that games will have to be redownloaded and re paid for the merge of your account. plus myself and others are conserned that all the money put into the Xbox 360 will be in vain,and others are conserned that there friends that upgrde to the Xbox 720 will not be able to chat with there Xbox 360 friends. If Microsoft addresses vthese issues i think that the prematur launch of Playstation 4 will prove to be Plastations down fall and undoing, with the console price at $699 - $999, Xbox will sore with prices of $399 - $499. Xbox 720 is rumored to have all the features of the new Playstation console with added features. If it was me id pick Xbox over Playstation for the price. You cant beat a better quality product for a cheaper price

Not only the rich buy these consoles, in fact more of the average man does, and to top it off the games would prob be priced @ $150 if the consoles go for $1000.
as it is 10 good games cost more than the consoles

No way. Most people can't afford that so who are you gonna play online with. I'll stick to ps3

If it's above 500USD it will be a rip-off as the parts cost nowhere near that much, even accounting for markup...

HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

there will probably tons of problems with the server connections like there are already they need to fix those problems first

only a fool would pay that kinda money when it firsts comes out.. then when the sales drop id wait for the price to drop

Only if it comes with 40“ led/3d 1080p 120hertz tv.

Only if it comes with 40“ led/3d 1080p 120hertz tv.

I would not pay 1000!ln 3 years it would be around or less than 300 and i dont mind waiting. Ill always be a playstation fan but for that kind of money id by a computer or a descent tv.I dont think everyone can win the lottery on release day so probably wont make anything if its a 1000. For 499 and some good games and a really hi tech cool looking system i would definetly purchase on the day it came out providing i had the monies!

HELL NO!! I would wait til the price dropped DRASTICALLY!!!

The only 100% fair way to do this would be to allow a ps3 trade in but allow ps3 games an data to be transferred to ps4 taking a good portion of money off the ps4 to allow it to be like 600$ like wat ps3 cost, it's only fair to allow trade ins because then your screwing people over an people will start to question the Sony company on "why are they making us pay so much when they always make their money back in the first year basically.?" This system should not be 1000$ because if they make it 500$-600$ they would probably triple their money if it was this price because people would buy an buy an Sony would make more money an it would be faster profit increase then if it was 1000$. I'm 19 an I figured this out?

So to sum it up: if you make it 1000$ expect your profit to go up very slow so slow tht the ps3 would still be making more money then if you make starting price for ps4 500$-600$ range so that you guys are happy along with your consumer people and consider the data transfer because it be a waste to trade ps3 in an have nothing from the start, that means we wasted money buying it on the system so please make them compatible with one another( ps3 games. + ps4. = compatible) and account transfers to ps4 as well, all this will end any arguments about ps3 to ps4
Thank you for your time Sony look forward to your product.

Seriously. Get real charging more means less people buy. Now lowering will mean people will buy more and you'll earn your money back in no time

I play my ps3 the most but the Xbox 360 has better games and graphics
But I still like the ps3 because of blueray internet and apps ghetto zone company has disappointed million on graphics and very high costs the playstion CANNOT BEAT XBOX'S GRAPHICS THE PS4 IS GOING TO BE LIKE THE XBOX360 GRAPHICS just wait and see people look at freaking previews of games u idiots it's once again bad graphics

QUE RIDICULO

I wouldnt 1000 is to much If the price is 1000 for ps4 looks like alot of customers are going to switch to xbox.

I work full time and my checks are $850 every two weeks. I don't want to waste a whole check on a system. I mean wow that's so much money. These are tough times right now and gaming is all a lot people do to release stress and to leave this world and enter a gaming one. It would be cool if it was like $300 maybe $400 a lot of people can afford that.

When I was a kid I bought my first gaming console - Nintendo, for $100. It took me about 6 months to earn that cutting grass / shoveling snow at $10 - $20 a pop. Sony should base their price on this concept - kids earning money for it and buying it as a luxury versus having the price so high they have to depend on their parents spoiling them by buying it for them.

That being said, now that I am 36 years old and could afford this price but have the wisdom to know the difference between wants and needs... Unless it came with a cyborg hooker that gave daily BJ's - NO F#%@ing WAY, would I pay $1,000!

i would defnintly but only if it played ps2

Considering my computer can likely run the same games at better quality than the PS4 no I would not.

However, I would say that it is a reasonable price as long as they did not cheap out on anything like the PS3, and it is actually backwards compatible so you aren't forced to buy games you already own to play them again. Because the RAM is so low on the PS3 graphics tend to only load low res at a distance, and in some games there is a lag where it will take forever to load high res graphics where your character is. I also have a huge collection of PS2 games that are collecting dust, because I don't want to be unplugging one console to plug in another. A way to transfer saved games would be great as well since PS3 save files are often not able to be copied.

Building your own high end system would cost over $1,000, so it is reasonable if there are no issues like that. I think wanting the newest hardware for next to nothing is kind of ridiculous, it is expectations like that forcing companies to cheap out on console parts, which causes huge problems in it's capabilities.

well with gta5 coming out just before the ps4 im gonna have too much fun on my ps3 to even worry about the new console. i will wait till 2014 then maybe i will pick one up with a hundred quid off and by then most of the games for it will be cheaper as well .... so looking good for me for next year ;o).

no, i will say only the crazy ones with money will!! But for us true gamers its not the money it the ability to play the way we want it fast and hard' with no wait time. Price should be at price where we can all as gamers can afford it and enjoy what playstation has to offers us pure fun, and power.! So no i will not pay a 1000 dollars, unless the PS4 can do what i do on daily bases ( work, pay bill, date, and raise a family). I will keep the PS3.

NO one will pay $1,000 for a ps4.

First of all making the price at 1k would be illogical. Some people would pay that amount of course but think about how many people would vs people who wouldn't, the number difference from that is too great and would make them have low profits in the long run. Only a reasonable and business smart price maybe around $299-$499 or so would be the best option despite the PS4 being highly advanced and i for one would rather pay $500 than 1k but that's just me. So i highly doubt they will make it 1k so don't get your panties in a bunch over this.

hell no

I would probably pay for it if it was $500 or less but a $1000 is way too much.

I understand why Sony wants to jack the price up on this, its huge. However going over 500 dollars would result in a huge delay for profit, people need time to save up money and in today's economy that's gonna take a extremely long time. Sony needs to take this into deep consideration and plan their price, and release date in a way that allows the intended audience to save the money they need to buy it.

No, I'd rather just wait till one of my friends buy it, then I'll go over his house and play it for free whenever I want.

Well first off I'm 9 only so if i had the money yeah but now no! Plus they would never do that!!!

I would be reluctant to spend more than $200 on one.

Playstation should just stop production if they are going to make it this expensive! They will suffer a huge loss if they try to mass produce it because noone will want to buy it!
