Moving to PlayStation 5, Sony is discontinuing PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro

Sony stops production of five versions of PS4 and PS4 Pro

While the PlayStation 5 game console is not yet available to everyone, it is the most advanced device in the Sony gaming division. By comparison, the PS4 and PS4 Pro are already outdated, so it's no surprise that Sony is discontinuing the production of the PS4 and PS4 Pro.

According to the source, in Japan, retailers have begun to notify that new arrivals of the five versions of the PS4 and PS4 Pro will no longer be "due to the discontinuation of production." These consoles include PS4 500GB Glacier White, PS4 1TB Jet Black, PS4 1TB Glacier White, PS4 2TB Jet Black, and PS4 Pro 1TB Glacier White.

While this decision by Sony is understandable, it is strange that it was made during the PS5 shortage. Therefore, it is possible that at some point a PlayStation vacuum will form on the market - when the PS5 cannot be found for sale, and the PS4 and PS4 Pro will no longer be in warehouses.
