During their pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference last night Sony announced a number of things, including a long awaited sequel to Gravity Rush, that they will be dropping the price of the PlayStation 4 in Japan from the previous price of 39,980 yen to 34,980 yen. This price drop will go into effect starting on October 1st.
It is worth noting that the price of the PlayStation 4 in many areas, such as the United States, roughly mirrors the base price of the PlayStation 4 at $399 before, meaning that if this price drop is applied to other regions then the console will drop to $349. That being said, Sony has not yet announced this price drop for any other regions outside of Japan.
