Sony is still manufacturing the PS4

Sony has said that it’s still making new Playstation 4 consoles, but most stores no longer sell them. The new Playstation 5 isn’t out yet, and the PS4 should be in stores until then. But the makers of the PS4 are no longer making the console. They’re making the PS4 Pro instead. If you want to buy a new Playstation 4, it may be tough to find one in stores. Even online retailers like Amazon are selling them at higher prices than when they were initially released several years ago.

Why is it still being manufactured?

Over two years after its launch, Sony is still making new PlayStation 4 consoles. In a statement to The Verge, a representative for Sony confirmed that production of new systems has not ceased and that production is expected to continue throughout 2018. That’s in spite of dwindling sales. Both Microsoft and Nintendo have stopped making their respective current-generation consoles — Xbox One and Wii U — but there are so many older models around that it hasn’t been necessary for Sony to do so. There are also rumors circulating about an upgraded model of PS4, similar to last year’s PS4 Pro, but nothing has been confirmed by Sony at present. Its upcoming console, PlayStation 5, won’t be out until 2019 at least.

A brief about the PS4

PlayStation 4 is a home video game console developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. Announced as the successor to PlayStation 3 in February, 2013, it was launched on November 15 in North America, November 29 in Europe, South America and Australia; and February 22, 2014, in Japan. The PlayStation 4 Pro was released on November 10 2016 that is said to be twice as powerful as original model. The PS4 Slim was revealed at an event held on September 7 2016 with a release date set for September 15 of that year. It features reduced hardware specifications similar to those of SNES Classic Edition.

What Makes It Different From Other Consoles

The PlayStation 4’s biggest selling point is its extensive multimedia capabilities. Although Microsoft’s Xbox One has a Blu-ray drive and can play movie discs, Sony’s system is better suited for streaming music and video from your computer or mobile device. It also offers remote access to your home PC and stream games from your home desktop if you have a powerful enough rig. Finally, it includes an updated version of Sony’s Music Unlimited service with both free and paid tiers.

Final Thoughts

Sony has gone on record to say that it’s still producing new PS4 consoles. So if you feel like you can’t find one in a store, there are probably some sitting in warehouses all over the world, just waiting for someone to come along and buy them. So why aren’t they selling? It’s because video game sales have been struggling lately; so much so that shares of Nintendo recently fell below their price from last summer, before Pokemon Go was released! Meanwhile, software publisher Take-Two Interactive says its GTA V continues to sell at retail despite being available as a digital download since late 2014. Take-Two cites an uptick in GTA V PC sales specifically as part of its overall first quarter results announcement.
