Konami has announced a price drop for foobtall simulation Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 on both current and last generation consoles.

The prices will remain different on each, but both are cheaper than before. Pro Evo 15 will now be $39.99 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and just $19.99 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
It's a big move given that the European football season is in the crucial home stretch right now, and the MLS is just beginning again--this is not an offseason shift to sell copies in the lull. On the contrary, it perhaps is looking to capitalize on the height of footballing excitement, and undercut rival EA's FIFA 15 juggernaut.

The title is a good alternative to FIFA, and in the opinions of some offers a better on-field depiction of the sport with more realistic play. FIFA is miles ahead in terms of presentation and licensing though, which makes it difficult for many to make the jump, even if the gameplay is arguably less realistic or more arcadey.
If you've wanted to try Pro Evo but never could justify two fully-priced football sims, you can jump in now and feel less guilty. It would be nice to see EA do something like this for FIFA, but it has no reason to reduce the price of the genre-leading title. You'll have to wait until the season is long over for some cut-price FIFA action and FIFA 16 is rolling around, unfortunately.
