Of course, and having more PS+ subscribers to keep things aflot during the first PS5 year of cashing back R&D costs is way better than having a big drop right before it. Having a bigger userbase is way more than just those one time sales. PS+ and more people to buy TLoU2 is where the money is at, not profiting in hardware sales. |
$100 price drop is equal to about 3 game sales at full price, only one in two people actually buy PS+. People that hold off until the end of a generation wont be buying dozens of games and I highly doubt there would be a high PS+ attachment rate.
Not dropping the price doesn't mean the userbase isn't increasing, there's a reason why the ps2 barely made more than the gamecube.
