It is much easier to make PS4 99 than PS2.

Like 5 times easier.

That is just ridiculous.

PS2

• Disc drive
• Processor
• Ram
• Controller

Thats all that is in a PS2. Memory cards were even sold seperately. Oh and $99 in 2006 is very different from $99 in 2019.

PS4

•  Disc drive
• HDD
• APU
• Ram
• A more complex board with support for thins like wifi, ethernet, bluetooth.....etc
• Fan and heatsink
• Controller

Any two of those things in that list already puts the PS4 over $60. And you cant have a PS4 without every single one of them. So how the hell are the going to get all that to fit in a $99 box in 2019/2020. The best they can d is probably $149. And even that is a stretch

 

Also PS2 wasnt even $99 in 2006, April 2006 is when it dropped from $149 to $129. It wasnt until April 2009 that it officially dropped to $99, 8.5 years after launch.

The lowest I ever see PS4 officially getting down to is $199.
