Although it took a couple years, the Xbox One and PS4 managed to hit the golden price of $299 by the end of 2015. It may have come as a bit of a surprise to some who weren't expecting MSRP to come down so fast, and they won't stop there.
Sources allege that eBay, among other stores, will be offering the PS4 for $249.99 this Black Friday. Made better, the bundle will include a copy of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
With this in mind, it is likely that Xbox One will match this offer with a $249.99 bundle of its own, especially given that you can buy one from Amazon for $256 right now. The primary Black Friday bundle will possible include Gears of War 4 or Madden NFL 17.
These drastic price reductions are the product of not only manufacturing optimization, but the introduction of slim SKUs. The PS4 Slim and Xbox One S have reduced component pricing that has provided both Microsoft and Sony a big opportunity this holiday season. Interestingly enough, both consoles are priced similarly to the nearly four year old Wii U.
