The price cut seems to be doing a lot less than I was expecting for PS5. Barely matching last year’s figures, and those were without the cut. Sony really shot themself in the foot by pumping up prices so aggressively last year. PC is growing fast in the region, and those price hikes certainly didn’t help Sony’s case. With chips becoming so much more expensive, however, maybe this transition will be slowed down a bit… PCs are about to become very unaffordable.

Why ? They increased the prices, now decreases them to their previous one, the sales go back at the same level they were last year with the same price, why is this bad ? It's even good, since normally without the price increase and decrease it would've been down year on year now, but it's at the same level with the new price. How is that bad ? If PS5 can maintain the same baseline, it would be great.

They went to the same levels they were at post-price hike, not pre-price hike. That’s not great when you cut the price of your system as much as Sony has. It’s definitely much better than the 7-15k/wk range PS5 was stuck in, but I was anticipating closer to late-2023 figures.
