Not really. There are people who bought PS4 in the first year or two. They are ready for next gen and wouldn't buy a PS4 over a PS5, regardless of how cheap the PS4 gets. These will make up the vast majority of PS5's early sales. The cheaper PS4 SKUs will be for budget gamers who wouldn't buy the PS5 til it also hits $199-$299, anyway.

I see, but with 3 playstations out, wouldn't be possible that devs would release ps5 games also for ps4 and ps4 pro and as a result keep even some ps4 early adopters unconvinced that they should upgrade?

No.  It's the same thing we have had happen for generations.  The old is cheap enough for budget gamers, while the new is for those who want more powerful HW, which will obviously be more expensive.  If the early adopters already have had the PS4 for 6-7 years when the PS5 launches, they don't need another PS4.  They are going to want the newer, more powerful HW, even if they mainly have the same library of cross-gen games for the first 1-2 years of the PS5's lifetime.
