Same here. With the fear of next gen being short units at launch or even a delay worst case, you'd think present gen would already be seeing clear declines by now. Could they really have that many stored away around the world that it hasn't impacted store shelves yet?

There are generally at least 1-2 million consoles on store shelves and in transit at any onetime, so it will take time before we see any significant shortages. Other than Nintendo already apologizing for the limited number of Switch consoles in Japan. 

That would certainly explain it.

It also may not be a bad time for PS4 to officially drop it's price. Not only does it seem well overdue, but it would help get sales back up to where they belong, if they do have shortages down the road. Mind you, could the console companies look at this as an opportunity to upsell consumers on next gen perhaps?
