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.

Sonys not going to compete with an operating system now, and probably never unless the idea of going out of business sounds good. It takes years of iteration from literally the worlds biggest companies to make an OS. Sorry, but Sony can't compete against Apple, Google, and Ms in that regard. Not gonna happen and it doesn't need to happen. It's already remarkable enough that PlayStation is basically Linux gaming.

He thinks the vitaOS is better than android. There's no changing his mind.
