Sony dropped a bomb shell when it revealed at E3 the PlayStation 4 was going to be $399, $100 cheaper than its competitor the Xbox One.
According to sources close to IGN, the reason that Sony was able to drop the price of its next gen console to be cheaper than the Xbox One was because it cut the PlayStation 4 camera at the last minute.
Because the PlayStation 4 camera was cut well into the console’s development, this meant that some functions built into the PlayStation 4 controller have been rendered useless. The DualShock 4 controller was built with LED Move trackers. Now these LED’s sole functions are to serve as visual cues for the player on in-game occurrences, such as when the player is low on health.
The PlayStation 4 camera has now been made into a $60 accessory.
