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.

Shadow1980 has done a pretty good write up in the past explaining how price cuts late in a systems life dont have any long term affects.

PS3/360 had some pretty crazy good deals in 2013 but it didnt stop them from having 30-40% YoY declines.
