We're waiting. And waiting. And waiting and waiting..... for PS4 (Orbis?) and Xbox720 (?). So, yesterday, I read a piece of news saying PS4 will be about 400 USD. Converted to SEK, that is roughly 2500 SEK. Not expensive. Today, I read the same on a Swedish news site. Ok, this is not confirmed by Sony, so we'll see. The thing is, I don't believe this. Not for a second. Reason? Here's what happened when PS3 was launched in Sweden: Sony said: PS3 WILL cost MAX 4500 SEK, the retailers are not allowed to raise that price. Fine, that's what we expected. But then, the Swedish distributors said: Well, we have to make money, too, so we'll tack on 1000 SEK. And then the retailers said: Well, we have to make money TOO! There goes another 1000 SEK. So the 4500 SEK playstation suddenly cost 6500! MINIMUM! Some stores took up to 8000 SEK!
See my worry? Distributor and retailers ignored Sony's promise to the fans and tacked on between 2000 and 4000 SEK on the PS3. So what will happen with the PS4? I don't know. I just know I don't trust prices...
