Maybe the decrease of sales we saw in PS5 numbers were partially due to people withholding to wait for the Pro. In Japan Playstation is mostly for people who wants high end experience which is a minority I think

We will have to return in January to check if the baseline will be back to over 20-25k again

hmm...i feel there's compelling enough evidence that the price increase is what decreased sales. The exact week price hikes were enforced, sales fell off a cliff. I do expect that over time, sales will return to a little-bit-below-normal figures (b/c consumers like to wait a few months before bending-over-backwards whenever businesses choose to hit them with price hikes).
