It's a shame Sony didn't push PS4 late in it's life like they did the PS2. A $199 price point and continuing shipments and it could have easily reached 130M. But, I guess to ensure PS5 has a good future, they are using profits from PS4 to cover PS5 HW losses, as well as slowly getting manufacturers shifted from making PS4s to PS5s. I understand it, especially since Covid is probably causing quite a bit of it, but still a shame to see it not sell to its full potential.

I guess it must be more profitable for Sony to keep the current price. While we're getting excited over volumes, for Sony it's nice-to-have kind of deal (within the reason of course).  

Yeah, it's pretty clear that their first priority is to have people make the transition to PS5. Otherwise the PS4 models would have been given a price drop already and made sure they are more available.

We're having our fun with the sales records, but the business, at least in the short term, is not about that.
