There's also market saturation. The writings are on the wall, PS4 has dropped off significantly this year and I dont think it has much to do with price. I dont think priced down revisions will do as much as some expect. It's definately going to help but we're still looking at 32M+ for hardware, the console market is not the same now as it was when the PS2 was the evergreen console. Though one must consider that it's possible that PS5 takes the early route of PS3 and if that was to happen.. it would definately help the PS4's legs. I dont think Sony will make that mistake again though.

The reason for the drop off? Games. No god of war, no monster hunter.both sold a lot of consoles.

Certainly to a degree, but by far not enough on their own to cause a drop of 75k in weekly sales. If it were just them, then the drop would have been 20-30k at worst. This is more than twice as much of a drop.
