| Robert_Downey_Jr. said: I will always wonder how high PS4 could have gotten if they'd done a price cut to $200 in 2019 like Septemberish. They must have been making mad profit on the console at that point and with PS5 yet to be announced I imagine it would do a pretty damn good holiday and get some of those low cost consumers into their ecosystem. 117m could have been 130m since they STILL haven't officially cut it. |
They could have sold at least a few more million, possibly even more than 5 million more leading to a lifetime of over 121 million units.
Sony clearly didn't see a steep price cut of the Slim and Pro later in their lives as worth it.
Retailers have good sales for hardware sometimes. Multiple times a year you could get a Slim for $250, and at least yearly more than once it was $200 for Black Friday.

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
