Inventory

Seems like a normal sale to mitigate the inventory levels they have. However, it very well may be the first precursor to setting up for the R1. The idea is to clear as much inventory as you can, before you preannounce the R1. The R1 is expected to have a development announcement sometime this year for a 2024 release. Same with the R5, they cut the price there too, and I imagine that was for clearing inventory for the announcement of the Mark II as well as to offer a cheaper alternative to buying a A7R5.
