Can we expect a PS4 price drop this year? Thanks to some sharp eyes over at WholesomeGamer, we now have the rumor that Sony may be preparing to drop the price of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
On Sony's official retail loyalty site, there is a promotion running that will allow members to win prizes, and snuck in the fine print are the listed ARV (average retail value) of each prize.

The PS Vita is listed with an ARV of just $89 for the promotion and the PS4 is valued at $349. Those prizes are nice discounts from the current retail price of $200 for the Vita and $400 for the PS4.

While the price cuts would not be all too unexpected, and the documents could just be mistakes, but there is a possibility that Sony will cut later this year following the unexpected sales win by the Xbox One in April.
