well PS4 already went out to 80+ million people. it was at ~75 at end of last year. definitely sold at least 6 mill in 4 months.  so it should slow down that makes sense.

Sony should be dropping the price this late year or early next year to make a very long stride to a 100M quickly. slim should be ~199 by year end. pro should be 349 by year end or even 299 

 

they don't really need to but its always very worth it to ship a lot of consoles late in cycle to boost software sales. also build a good install base to have PS5 already accustomed to 

Well yeah, they don't "need" to. But if droppong to $199 this year means they have 100M sold around this time next year, or even more (lets not forget there will be a RDR bundle) then the sooner thwy do it the better.

The more people they have owning the PS4 and a PS+ subscription come the PS5 the better.
