Shadow1980 has done a pretty good write up in the past explaining how price cuts late in a systems life dont have any long term affects.

PS3/360 had some pretty crazy good deals in 2013 but it didnt stop them from having 30-40% YoY declines.

I dunno, like Barkley says, if PS5 launches at $500, I can see a $200-$150 PS4 remaining an attractive buy for low income consumers for years to come.

PS3/360 were in that price point but were not huge hits for low income families after PS4/XB1 released

PS3+360 sales

2013 holiday-~4.3m

2014-~6.2m

2015-~2.3m

2016-~900k

2017-~250k

Combined they did ~14 million after the launch of PS4/XB1 with official prices of $199 and BF discounts down to $99 for 360 and $149 for PS3.

The days of crazy post-successor legs like PS1/PS2 had are over.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
