How do you think Sony will handle the PS4 post PS5 release?

I feel like Sony loved the transition from PS3 to PS4 so they'll try to emulate that. Keep people focused on the new hardware, and also free up manufacturing space. Also the fact that they've upped their PS5 shipping prediction to 10 million suggests they're going all in on PS5.

Would say that deeply depends on the Software revenue. If SW sales on PS5 picks up very fast while on PS4 dies fast (same for subs) them sure they will like a fast transition and won't bother with deep price cuts to keep PS4 alive, now if that doesn't happen....

I agree. I also think their strategy might differ based on region. Seems like PS4 could sell forever in Eurppe, and it's still strong in the U.S. especially since the pandemic. I don't see Sony putting much effort to keep PS4 alive in Japan, I think they want to move on stat lol. Hopefully we'll see a super slim, hopefully with a disc drive because the pre-owned market is palpable.
