I feel like due to its much greater sales and popularity PS4 will not drop off as fast as PS3 did. It's also made of more off-the-shelf parts so it could go to lower prices than PS3 ever did like $199.

PS4 is already declining at a faster rate than PS3 though.

PS3

2011 (Year 5), +6%

2012 (Year 6), -15%

2013 (Year 7), -31%

PS4

2018 (Year 5), -8%

2019 (Year 6), -23%

2020 (Year 7), ????

It has been over 3 years since the last permanent price drop and they have gone with the same $199 price point for 3 black fridays in a row, Sony has no desire to go lower in price. At most we will get a $149 firesale when it's getting phased out.

They may not have a desire to cut the price now while it's still selling very well, but next year or beyond will be a different story I imagine.
