At least unlike SONY they don't raise the prices due to the inflation

But the hardware already made profit way back in 2017, of course they couldn't justify increasing the price.

It's very old hardware at this point, unlike PS5 and XSX.

It may be old hardware, but not much of that hardware actually got much cheaper over time, and many parts are actually more expensive to source nowadays as they were 7 years ago.

Keep in mind that most consoles got cheaper not just due to cost of electronics dropping, but mainly because those consoles have a reduced set of hardware compared to the earlier iterations. That's something that won't really happen this gen for any of the 3 consoles, hence why neither will have any price drops this gen and instead the prices are going up, as the "slimmer" PS5 showcases.
