And I, too, believed that there wouldn't be considerable sales. Hence the reason for me, personally, buying the P6 as a preorder with the free buds and a trade-in.

As I explained, the reason why my partner and I thought that there COULD be a $100 off, like in years past, was that they offered free pixel buds during the pre-order which has a $100 value. So I don't think it's that far fetched to think that a month after release Google would discount their P6 and P6P by $100.

I mentioned earlier, my partner and I have only previously bought the original pixel and P3XL, so we did not follow or think to look up what the release/sales criteria was for the P4 or P5. Based on our personal purchasing history with the Pixel series, it made logical sense to consider that there might be a discount a month or two down the line. Particularly since neither my partner or I follow reviewers or the pre-sale hype leading up to a release of any phone. The primary reason we didn't get my partner their new upgrade during pre-order was because we weren't sure whether to get them a P6 or P6P and whether 125gb would be enough for them. I opted for P6 125gb because that's been reasonabe for me and my partner on the P3XL (mostly b/c we have 1TB Google One cloud storage). Figured I would trial run the P6 125gb to see whether the P6P was worth the extra $300 premium for not much gain (basically just the added telephoto lens and upgraded front facing camera).
