Well deserved sales indeed. PS4 is arguably the best console this gen. It deserves it's accolades.

I'm still wondering why there's no PS4 Super Slim or a permanent price cut.

Big PS day on the front page. VGC is doing a lovely job, but it's always nice to see the official numbers.

It's a decent machine. Shame that Sony ruined it with their braindead policies.

What was ruined exactly? What content?
Please, try to explain this by not coming across as overreacting, biased, or a typical part of the current outcry culture...

Best of luck!

Sure.

Once Sony moved their HQ to California they made a new policy where all communication with them has to be in English, which screwed over Japanese developers.

Then there's the new censorship board which doesn't have specific rules and is regulating content aside from the rating boards, which leads to games like Omega Labyrinth Life being censored on PS4 and not on Switch. They also cancelled games like Omega Labyrinth Z and Uppers screwing over western publishers like PQube.

Also the hike of PS+ prices despite offering a third of the content.

Of course even though the above are objective facts you phrased the question so that you can ignore them, but that would prove your own bias.
