Spreading the PlayStation players over 5 channels means a big world can sometimes feel pretty empty.
If bosses spawned more frequently - players would be less bored and wouldn't channel surf and risk disconnects.
So less channels and more frequent boss spawns would help solve 3 issues:
Take it from an Xbox player who used to have 4 channels and now we have 2. We desperately miss those 2 lost channels lol
Boss spawn frequency would definitely solve issues caused by the channel reduction. It takes Cyclops 28 minutes to respawn, for example, and you have to kill him 6 times to trigger the Tristezza invasion. Less channels means it now takes about 1.5 hours to start the invasion.
It's pretty safe to assume that PS4 channels will be reduced when the number of players gets low enough.
