Right. There isn't much logical sense in owning a PS4 if the PS5 can play its games. I agree. But collectors are a difference breed and want to own things for different reasons than people who just want to use their consoles to play. Also, like I said, nostalgia. There will be a whole slew of twenty-somethings, ten years from now, who will look at a PS4 as their "childhood". And it's those people who the hoarders and scalpers are banking on when they buy up all these boxed consoles. |
I think it is hard to think a collector would wait for the consoles being discontinued to start buying, and well that shouldn`t drive the price up so much since there aren`t that many collectors compared to almost 120M PS4 sold.
