They're going to start to be massively down regardless of that. The thing is going to b e 6-years-old this year. Can't stay up forever. |
But you forgot that PS4 is a miracle console ! :)

I don't think this is true at all. The PS2 and Wii both did over 1m in SK, while most handhelds were unable to break 1m. As for the topic: PS4 dominance in South Korea eh. I feel like this an experiment from Sony. They want to see just how much interest a large price cut would make, and SK is the perfect country to test it. |
Just to add to this, Switch should reach over 1 million, it did 110k in its launch month.

PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS
A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Ps4's non promotional price has incredibly remained quite high the last few years. So there's way more room to make price cuts then consoles traditionally had in the past.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the ps3 in it's 6th year was cheaper then the ps4 and it would have been way more costly to make. Sony are milking the ps4 hardware for profit and who knows if they'll drop the price to $199 WW to enter it into a new category of consumers while the rest are targeted by the ps5.

I read that a lot harsher than you probably intended. 
It's really unbelievable, very positive for the console games industry.
Interesting question: Will the Resident Evil 2 remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 be released in South Korea? (now or in the next weeks?)
I was quite surprised at this, given that SK are known to be mostly PC gamers. Consoles are finally getting a strong hold over there now it seems.

You are right. The 12GB model was at $199 in NA and €199 in Europe in 2013; I think after August 2013 though. And the production cost was higher. PS4 is massively more profitable than PS3, and Sony is holding back the price cut to keep the profit very high and 'cause is still selling very good; they will hold the ace up their sleeve until a boost is needed.
Sony this generation did all perfectly, congrats to them !
