Why drop the hardware prices and focus on game sales and subscriptions?

Because sooner or later...

They won't drop the price because people are still buying software on PS4 unlike previous generations there is much more cross gen activity with digital and Xbox isn't much competition. We should be thankful they drop the price for sales at all. 

My console friends group and I haven't bought jack this year, and have mostly been playing existing games or free Plus games. SNY isn't making squat off of us on PS4, whereas if we had PS5's that would be another story.

While they may be making more off some customers, they're starting to piss off others. To the point where I know a few of my friends will just pay for Plus (Extra) and wait for games on PS5, especially AAA games to land on there instead of pay $70. I'm also willing now for the most part to wait a while anyway just to pay less than $70 during launch, because they're starting to tick me off.

PS may be making a nice profit, but truthfully they could be making a lot more. Let's all hope the 3 year curse doesn't show up again with PS6.
