"No plan to restock it" at this specific website does not mean it's being discontinued. Speculative clickbait based on Bloomberg's crap lol.

I sold mine 2 months before ps5 launch (to get more) for 320€ with 6 worthless games + 2 controllers.
Dunno if not having 4k drive were that big of a deal, they dont even sell 4k blurays anywhere.
Or at least not here, I checked most places that sell movies in my city and none had 4k blurays. Wanted to test one as never seen them, but I guess they are so rare that online order is only way to get them. (could be more widely available on other countries)
It is kind of funny that while PS4 pro sold around 250-280€ with one controller and no games, xbox one x had value of 100-150€ as used few months ago, sometimes they went for higher prices on our market sites/auctions, but usually even the 100€ ones were for sale multiple days.
Pro were the popular beast

Very stupid of Sony if this is the case. They should keep selling the PS4 (after dropping in price) for another 3 years at least.

Discontinuing the Pro version seems like they are trying to either improve the PS5 or save money for it. At this point, I don't think this is the best time to discontinue it, as the PS5 is still in it's early days, and people may still want to buy the PS4 Pro new, as they are not ready to but the newest model.

So I should wait to sell my heavily used but still running perfectly launch day one. Because soon I can advertise it as a collectors item.

I think it's basically that they are still making the base so they're basically figuring that if you're willing to pay more you'll get the 5 and if not you'll get the 4 and all those games you get will be locking you into eventually getting a 5

It makes a lot of sense. Now Sony can just shift those PS4 Pro's production lines over to the PS5 and concentrate on increasing the production numbers to meet current demands.

Get one of those sweet sweet optimized exclusive titles
At that point just buy a PS5 if you care about specs lol. If you can't find one, just wait a few months if you have to. No need to waste money to buy a PS4 pro to play them with half the improvements the PS5 provides.

PS4 Pro is the only thing that kept console gaming bearable for me. The OG PS4 just didn't have the legs for it and the Pro didn't blow me away either to be honest.

Like PS4 Pro is that much better for that crappy game. It's PS5, or don't bother.
The last thing we need is Sony using resources making PS4 Pros instead of as many PS5s as possible.

Makes sense. Expensive, and sells way less than slim. Kinda pointless to keep it going.

i picked one up in 2018 for around $200 and it was a great introduction to the Playstation consoles. i had a lot of good times on that machine, and it is why i ended up getting a PS5.
next gen is upon us. it is time to move on. no need to support a machine that is struggling so hard with new releases. there are millions of these things out there, if you want one, it won't be hard to find. let them focus on new stuff.

Underwhelming 'upgraded' console. It's finally dead. Hopefully Sony does a better job next gen if they decide for this path again.

I am all for moving on.
But then i demand from sony to stop base ps4 sales as well if their reasoning is to allocate more production to ps5.
Cuz if you believe this will speed up ps5 production you are in denail.
So stop all ps4 sales . This way they will feel the money pinch and are realy forced to produce millions of ps5's a month

What? I challenge you to go back to base ps4 and tell me again if its underwhelming.
Unless you cant afford a 4k tv or you are one of those who buy a 30 inch 3k screen and cant tell the difference

Except it makes a lot of sense to produce ps4 since they could cut to $199 and still make profit (and eventually will hopefully for those on a budget that want those ps4 games)

Same. I've missed so many games, time to get into some sales.
Now if I could just put down the switch.
I'll contemplate next gen when the pro comes.

It's funny that some are responding like this actually proves that the PS4 Pro is discontinued

Because the base ones are cheaper and sell way more.
The majority of people don't give a shit over the improvements that the "pro" versions have.
I honestly believe that the Xbox Series is losing sales because most of the Xbox One users rather keep playing on it than upgrade to a new console.
That's why Sony was smart in making PS5 exclusives like Demon's Souls Remake and Returnal, for example. They give people enough reasons to get a new console.

Because Pro and One X were both pitched to hardcore gamers that want more powerful machines. The PS5 and XSX are both pitched to the same people (and more). There's no reason for these to exist anymore.

Just sold mine on eBay for $450 bundled with Bloodborne GOTY, Uncharted 4, and The Last of Us Remastered. Also threw in a charging stand for the controller.
I think I got all those games used and bought the system for about $300?
People are crazy around Christmas.
Edit: also dinged ' em for $39 shipping

PS4 and Ps4 Pro are for different markets.
An improved PS4 is one that play the same games but for a far cheaper hardware price. Even if it means the build quality suffers.
An improved PS4 Pro is one that is more powerful, which technically IS PS5. PS5 is for all intent and purposes PS4 Pro Ultra, the Pro's successor.
Making PS4 Pro cheaper is useless. It would never be as cheap as the base PS4 and the people who care about saving money are not the same as those who want more performance.

Because Pro is more expensive to make, thus less people who are price conscious would buy them. Anyone who had not bought a PS4 yet, are NOT waiting to buy a Pro. If you care about power then PS5 is the go-to.
