Do you think we will get a PS4 Slim this year?

Nah, not this year.

They have enough software to hold off any pricecut or slim announcement. Sales will increase or remain steady throughout the year, leaving them all the room they want for a slim/cut combo during the holidays of 2017.

It will probably hit alongside God of War 4, Final Fantasy VII and/or Infamous 4.

Launching PS4 Slim with FFVIIR would break every record in terms of sales

People should stop believing that Sony or any other company would release a slimmer version only because the first was on bulky or ugly or fat. All they care about is to cut the costs.

 

Yep, and every time they slim down the console it seems to have a poorer build quality (aesthetically) compared to the launch original because of it. Say if they can save just $1 on build costs, that's around $18M a year they can save. Now imagine if they can save $10 per console, the savings become substantial. 

Exactly. Also the specs will be smaller and that is the primary reason they are forced to change the design and make it smaller or slimmer because if they kept the same old box, half of it would be empty.
