PS5 sales could now exceed 100 million if Sony wanted them to.

The key to success for the console business has never been high performance expensive hardware. Less focus on performance (especially now that pssr & ai up scaling existing) focus on making a minimum $400 base price console & $300 models w less storage & no disc drive. There should be a disc less ps5 with 125 gb for $325-$350 permanent pricing maybe even consider taking away the controller & making it where those people who already have a controller or wants to buy a controller from 3rd party can do so further decreasing the price of the console to as low as $300. Really $300 is the golden spot $400 is fine if you have many exclusive like Nintendo & at $500+ you need to release a minimum of 5-7 first party PS games high rated & differ in genres/types to cater a wider audience anything pushing $600 is death & really decreasing & making your hardware/storefront niche.

Less focus on performance & more focus on software/experiences

It is ir a price mistake, some unit deal to get attention or the most probably due the place stolen units.
Anyway $179 is too cheap :D

And we don’t see these fighting since PS5 launch in November 2020.

BTW this is Paraguay… not Brazil.
Most Brazilians there are gray market resellers but you can see how much money they can do with a $179 unit in hands.
