I don’t Believe it has anything to do with the age of the hardware. The PS5 and especially the PS5 Pro are very capable machines. And PlayStation had an amazing sale this black Friday. I just think people literally don’t have money to spend on something like that right now.

I mean, they're pretty good, but they've also been out for a while. I think that a lot of the people that want and can afford it have been buying it over the past couple years. Most people don't tend to wait several years to get new consoles. I do, but even I've had my series s since early 2023. The tariffs can't be helping.
