Yes, because any normal manufacturer would and have done a price cut in the year when their next console comes out .. (or at least most of them) and it is normal, it have to be done.. with PS4 getting price cut of 50 or even 100$ it would do at least 10-11M even without the covid .. and at least 12M with the covid, because it would be not only just cheaper but also would do more of a difference between it and the PS5 which starts at 399$ for the digital one .. and also other factor that could help was the stock .. in the last couple of months sony did not produce and sent out as much PS4 units as it was needed |
As a man who predicted 11M, I feel the pain. I really do think PS4 would've been higher without Covid, because while it did cause a summer boom, it also messed up production. Sony effectively gutted their PS4 lines to prioritize PS5 production asap, and didn't bother lowering the price or bundling because they knew the remaining consoles could just coast to sell through remaining stock. They've shut down all but a couple PS4 sku and seem ready to shift all of their focus onto the PS5.
At this point PS4 will never hit 125M and even 120M looks to be in doubt.
