Yeah, of course, but that user that buys this late a PS4, needs to spend at least 200$ in games (because Sony must get around half of that or even less) to get the same level as profits as the other way....and i don't think that is happening with PS5 launching in a year.

You also have to factor in that someone who buys a PS4 now is probably not buying a PS5 at launch. They'll probably but it cheap when the PS6 is looming on the horizon.

Of course. What i meant with that is, that consumer probably won't buy a PS5 at 400$, so you're getting a "cheaper" client at 200$, but who knows which % of those consumers wanting to buy just a "Playstation" would not buy a PS4 now at 200$ because he/she wants to start quickly this time the new gen with a PS5 even if it's more expensive. That's another reason why Sony do not want this kind of bundle to be too much succesful this late this gen either.

Another reason is that to spent 200-300$ on PS4 from 2020 into the future will cost much more time (if it happens at all) because "must play games" on PS4 are going to be already way cheapier and there won't be as much "new must buy" games at 60$ either once PS5 arrives.
