What if after 3 years ps4 slow down a lot and they already use their price cut card?

Price cut is used when you're console don't sell well even with a lot of game

nope, doesn't work that way. At $400 theer are only so many people that can or will buy a PS4 (or any console for that matter). There are those that will only ever even consider it when it gts to $300 cause thats within their budget. Doesn't mean that the people that would have bought it at $400 suddenly won't anymore.

So basically, if every month there are 500k people that are willing to spend $400 and there are 500k that will only buy at $300, dropping the price to $300 means you now get to sell 1M consoles per month instead of 500k. 

Another way to look at it is you can have 3 years of "good" sales at $400 and sell 15M consoles per year. So after 3 years you have 45M. Or you could have 3 years or "great" sales at $300 and sell 25M per year and have 75M after 3 years. 

45M or 75M in 3 years, which would you rather have?
