Sony appears focused on their upcoming next generation console, the PlayStation 5, however, they aren't done supporting the PlayStation 4, according to worldwide head of PlayStation marketing Eric Lempel who spoke with Geoff Keighley.
Lempel says there are plenty of upcoming games for the PS4 and there is still a lot of life left in the console.
"We believe that all of these things combined, as well as all the other great PS5 features we've spoken about, really lead to a next-generation experience," Lempel said.
"And in many cases, we can't take everybody with us from previous consoles into that experience. You need new hardware, you need new devices to experience what these developers want you to experience.
"PlayStation 4 is a big part of everything we do, and will continue to be a big part of everything we do.
There's a lot more to come from PlayStation 4. I think we're seeing some of the greatest titles of this generation release in recent weeks, and that will continue. PlayStation 5 is the next-generation product, but we've got a lot to come for people on PlayStation 4. There's still a ton of life in that product."
It should be noted that all upcoming PS4 games have to run on the PS5 through backwards compatibility.

Price drop will happen it's just a matter of time, maybe by the time PS5 arrives. And they're not being cheap, they're keeping their price the same as their competitor unless you feel everyone in this industry is being so cheap?
