Also noteworthy that not only are PS5 sales behind PS4, but the PlayStation's competition has almost entirely disappeared, and that hasn't resulted in more PlayStations sold.

A used ps4 is probably the best value in gaming right now. For ~$200 you can get the console and a bunch of games.

The best time to buy a console is just after its sequel is released, lots of people upgrading and selling their old one with all the games and controllers

I always said that about the PS2, or early model PS3s if you can get one for a reasonable price. Backwards compatibility galore.
