Hmmm... how are they promoting a quicker uptake if there’s no PS4 to sell? Also, they ship less PS4 so that they can sell more at a lower price point? Overall, I’m not sure I follow. But the bigger question is why would they cut the price now?

Let's say you send 100 consoles to Amazon, 50 of which they buy at a cheaper price because it's the revised version. Which version are they going to ship at the current price? Asking Amazon, who will be aware of the lower production costs of the new version, to stock/buy the newer version at the current price could sour relations for future deals. So the answer is to keep restocking regularly but with mainly the older version until they're gone completely. 

It's only a theory but it makes more sense than simply saying 'Sony are stupid' in one way or another. 

ps4 is available at every where except amazon, so the theory doesn't make sense
