| curl-6 said: So is that the public just isn't interested in PS4/Xbone anymore since they're old and replaced, or are they just not manufacturing many of them any more, perhaps to free up as much production capacity as possible for PS5/XS? |
I would say it's a mixture of both. The chip shortage affects everything so production lines are going to be heavily skewed towards the next gen systems. The X1+PS4 community is approaching end levels of 360+PS3 so market saturation is getting there for the older systems. Add in the fact that both last gen systems are still priced pretty high for this time period in their life cycle and never received that last final price drop they deserve and you get weekly numbers like this. However, PS4 did ship 1M units in the last quarter so we'll have to wait till the end of the year to get a clearer picture of how low Sony at least is actually selling for last gen numbers.
