I think that Generalissimo Poncho is prolly right. Maybe Timmy eased up on production of the PS4 for a while so that human and capital assets could be deployed in other areas. I really do not foresee the PS4 going into retirement. Its just strange that the cheapest PS4 on Amazon is around $60, and another is listed at $98. Walmart has black ones at $39.99, and shows red at $60 but its unavailable.
On December 6, 2010, I paid $28.00 for a PS4 on Amazon.
