Intrinsic said: A $199 PS4 still has the potential to do wonders saleswise.
I guess sony still believe they don't need it and are fine as is. Probably them not wanting to complicate their manufacturing output any further being that the PS5 is right around the corner. |
Besides this, I can see them doing later, also to reposition PS4 in the market after PS5 launch, but not now for at least two related reasons: current pandemic pushed many governments to limit outside activities and travel (even in cases this is the dumbest choice possible), so indoors activities, including videogames, received a boost, but the pandemic also negatively affects production and shipping, so any further boost in demand could be almost totally wasted by offer not being able to meet it, so much the worst if it were obtained by cutting profit margin.
