If the 9th gen consoles launch with BC in 2020, is there any reason to produce 8th gen consoles beyond 2020?

From a core gamers perspective in a well paying job, no.

But from someone who can't afford a console at launch it is a god send. The price cut will mean they will be able to play games. Granted later then most people but still will be able to enjoy it.
