I'm curious what PS4 shipments for this quarter will look like, since Sony still expect to sell 16 million consoles this year, if I recall correctly. Either sales are holding way better or are even growing in "second tier markets" or they have to be planning some sort of permanent price cut to get there later in the year, I imagine. Death Stranding, Final Fantasy VII Remake and if it hits its rumored February release, TLOU2 will be solid hardware movers but not enough to offset these drops by themselves, not in the consoles 7th year.At this point with sales so low they must be planning a permanent price drop and/or super slim console at this point. No way they'll make it to 16m if it continues to be down this much YOY. Those games will help but at this point in its life PS4 ain't getting muhc of a boost from games like that, probably 100-200k from each maximum.
Personally I think if they're gonna hit it they need to drop to $199 or $249 with a free game as standard in a super slim.
