Thanks for all the replies.

When comparing the 2013 PS3+X360 black friday VS 2020 PS4+XB1 we can clearly see that it was a mistake for both Sony and Microsft to not have better deals and to not lower the prices of their old consoles.

When it comes to the Switch, I believe it had (and still has) enough stock in Europe and Japan so I don't know why so many of you seem to think that was not the case? Don't know about in North America though.

Lmao define "mistake"? There´s clearly no stock to be allocated, Sony wants to sell Ps5s now AFAP not Ps4, that´s why price on Ps4s is still high AF, Pro is the same price as Ps5.

What a joke post, "mistake" hahaha you understand 0 about making business, let alone understanding as well as a Company that can Sell an average of 100M Consoles each Generation. 

The "mistake" will keep happening until the Storm settles & Sony shows what they will do with Ps4 but i can see Pro being eliminated completely.

Ps5 - 499.99e
Ps5D - 399.99e
Ps4s (?) - 199.99e Bundled.

No need to be so aggressive and condescending. Obviously Sony want people to buy their new product which is the case but the fact is they don't have enough stock at all and we don't know yet when that will be the case.

With the Switch being the hot product that is it, it's IN MY OPINION a mistake to not lower the price of the PS4. It worked wonders for them when they did it with the PS3 and the PS2 so why not doing it this time ? With the PS5 being so expensive, their old console ia good alternative for people who can't affort it and are interested in gaming.

That's just my own personal experience  but I have many friends who bought a Switch or Switch lite because it's cheap and hat great bundles (with a good line-up of games but so does the PS4). Lately I haven't seen many bundles from the PS4 (especially in Japan).

Sony wants as many people in their ecosystem as possible. Someone buying a PS4 for the first time right now doesn't mean they won't purchase a PS5 later in 4-5 years or less.
