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.

That's just because their successors launched a year later than previous gens. The same will happen with the PS4. Though, 14M is doable if the PS4 hits $199. It'll most likely be at 115M-118M by the time the PS5 launches. That would mean it would hit 129M-131M.
