At the recent Tokyo Game Show, Sony made a significant announcement about their PlayStation 4 gaming console getting a price cut in Japan. Its original price was slated to get a price drop of around $42, citing its Asia price of 39,980 Yen falling to only 34,980 Yen.

According to Attack of the Fan Boy, Sony has finally answered what most consumers have been asking. Yes, Sony is also extending their gaming console price drop in the U.K. starting on Oct. 9.

The said announcement will be accompanied by the launching of "Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection" also in the U.K. PlayStation 4 apparently took the route of Microsoft by competing Xbox prices, setting it at £299.99 from its original price of £349.99.

Although there has been significant development in terms of expanding the regions wherein PlayStation 4 gets a price drop, there's still no confirmation whether Sony will extend the program to their North America fans.

Phil Spencer of Xbox, on the other hand, gave his insight towards Sony's move, telling IGN, "I fully expect they will drop price. When I think about the playbook they've used in the past, we feel good about the plans we have in place going forward in the holiday. If history tells, then we'll see a price drop from them coming."

In his interview, Spencer also added that the competition was actually good. For four months in a row, PlayStation 4 dominated the sales of gaming consoles in the U.S. alone. This year has given Sony the opportunity to show off what they can deliver to their fans, listing only the month of April wherein they didn't top the charts of gaming console sales.

Kudo Tsunoda of Xbox, however, expressed to Games Radar his confidence that Xbox can come out on top in the future, saying, "I think if you look at our competition, there's no way that people can really stack up with our exclusive content and that's the amazing part of what we're doing at Xbox."

Microsoft has been confident about their sales and the obvious competition between Xbox and PlayStation. But if Sony is heading to the U.S. for an extended price drop in their scope of region, the question floats whether Microsoft, capitalizing on their exclusive games, will be able to keep up with the gaming console competition.
