The PS5 would cut off the sales of the PS4. It would still have legs, no doubt, but why bother when you can just wait until the sales slow down by themselves, then release the PS5? A PS5 launch too early would mean a lot of potential sales lost.

Because you're not an asshole bent on holding back progress at all costs? Sometimes I like to hope good things.

Why would it lose them sales? I don't get that part. It would lose them sales on PS4 Pro and PS4 but those will go directly to the PS5, in addition to all the double dippers.

Why would you buy a console that's outdated in just three years? The lifespam of consoles should last as long as possible, to to make the most out of the existing hardware and to show a decent jump in technology instead of a small upgrade when the next generation comes out.

And sales-wise, Sony would want to sell the PS4 to as many people as they possibly can before moving on, to maximize profits.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
