On top of that we are seeing diminishing returns from these temporary promotions.

In the US, PS4 has been $199 on black Friday week for 3 years in a row and despite adding more value to the bundle each year (2017-no game, 2018-1 game, 2019-3 games) sales have also declined each year.

Then there is December where PS4 was $249 w/3 games for 2 full weeks yet sales were down YoY despite having no discount last year.

The idea that a price cut will stop the declines or cause prolonged legs isnt rational.

I never claimed it would avert the decline, it's too late in the system's lifespan for that, I meant more that it would soften said decline.

I wasnt referring to you, been a couple posters with unrealistic predictions about this year and beyond.
