Ok, what you described is absolutely NOT standard console practices lmao. No console ever took 10 years to be replaced for one, not the PS2 and not even the Switch. And for two, even without all the inflation and pandemic and whatnot, a PS5 at $199 would be too big a loss of money for Sony, let alone at $99. You just made up an insane scenario where 200M would be possible.

Yes, I made up scenario where 200M is possible. But it's not insane. (And it was not about reaching 200M, it just resulted in that. It was all about how it could gonna go if we had generation just like PS1, PS2, and to some extend PS3, where the hardware got cheaper over time, and we didn't had so much of an inflation). Saying standard console practices I meant the thing with the prices, and being cheaper over time, not the 10 years life as a major console. That hasn't been done still, yes. However in that standard console practice where there is price cuts as usual, as previous generations had, the PS5 is selling more, and therefore allowing Sony to prolong it's life. But okay, if you want cut two years, and put the launch of PS6 in 2028, it can still reach at least 180M. Also 199$ would not be sell at a loss in that example scenario because, the point of this is exactly that, the generation to be like previous ones, where 199 and even 99$ was possible. Also before the prices of tech fell quickly, so if we can take out those price hikes, and make it inline with the standard console practices where everything get cheap overtime and drop in price, then I don't see an issue there. And to clarify this is taking the time back to PS1 and PS2 days, not PS3 ones where price lower than 199$ wasn't possible (maybe it was but they needed to keep selling PS3 till 2020).

This same thing can be done for all the consoles, and extend their sales and life too.
