not deserved at all because after 4 yrs i cant even play a new god of war on my ps4 which is just insane and disgusting at the same time.

Well, You have GoW3 remaster... and PS1 hadn't a GoW (sold 100M+) and PS2 took several years to have GoW (even PS3 took their sweet time)

You probably got it on black friday. At the end of the day, right now you can’t get a PS3 for less than $299. Sure there are bundles where they give you a digital code but that’s not the same as the PS4 selling for $199.

And for the record, base PS4 slim with 500GB is still $299.

No I didn't get on Black Friday, for very long you had U4 bundle for $250 on Amazon. PS3 is discounted so how much currently costs is irrelevant.

Talking about ignoring reality, for the record on Amazon US you currently have 2 different LE PS4 1TB consoles that came with one game for $299.

PS3 had increase in HD space and more games bundled those weren't considered pricecuts, and most customers only ever care about the pricetag of the baseline not if anything else was added when looking for a price.

But ok Go and check the pricecuts for PS1, 2 and 3 and say if any of then had a schedule for pricecut similar to PS4 in how long it took for the pricecuts to come.

If you really see difference of $100 in price and don't see any difference between PS4 500GB model compared to PS4 1TB bundle with one game, I dont know what say to you, because there is huge difference in value between those 2 bundles.

Fact is that PS4 is really selling below oficaly $299 price and that's my point, $299 is just official price on paper, in reality you can buy for less than that or buy much bundle with much bigger value (1TB bundle with game).

I do realize, yet you are shifing goals (beside the fact that I couldn't care less about the size of the HDD, bought a 4Tb HD just for it).

The HD increase is pennies cost for Sony and several times the substitution was even covered by the older one being not common anymore and costing more to manufacture.

Yet as people pointed out Sony MSRP for PS4 500Gb is still 299 USD without any game. So it is effective only 25% price cut in 4 years.

Yet I asked you to show which PS had less pricecuts in 4 years and you failed to provide any, so accept it that PS4 is still to peak (could be this or next year who knows) with very little pricecut so far.

PS4 sales in Japan is phenomenal considering that Japan is a dead market for consoles.

I totally disagree that PS4 sales are in Japan phenomenal in any case, and PS4 wouldn't sell at all if Japan is dead market for consoles or would faulty Wii U sell more than 3m consoles in Japan.

Yep, because PS3 was record sale in Japan. Accept that the console market is shrinking in Japan as is the HH WW.
