Yepp, and it should not fall behind. With mostly standard tech, the move to digital, the revenue from PS, and yearly revisions to hardware (Some at an internal level only), PS4 should reach price levels we have not seen since PS2 also.

Some things that I see happening to keep PS4 ahead of PS2

-I fully expect PS4 to $249.99 by this holiday with deals that go below $199.99.
-I also believe Sony will continue to shick the PS4 APU at every possible die shrink going forward, so we could see PS4 and PS4 Pro on 10nm, 7nm, and 3nm before production is ended.
-There will very likely be a Digital Only PS4, and yes a PS4 Premium.
-Due to the above I expect a $199.99 base price in holiday 2018, and a $149.99 base price in holiday 2019, with a $99.99 digital only edition.
-PS4 will continue to be supported well after the PS5 launches, whether that be in 2019 or 2024.
-PS4 is Sonys door into the OS and Ecosystem battle, so it will be pushed like no other PlayStation in history, as the entire future of the company rides on its ability to get as many people as possible into the Sony ecosystem.
-Eventually all Sony devices will be built from the same DNA, thus making every sony product a PlayStation eventually.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
