Spider-Man PS4 $199 Black Friday Bundle Is So Popular It Is Already Selling Out Everywhere

I don't see anyone buying Insomniac. Insomniac would be really expensive to acquire. Much more so than something like Obsedian or Ninja Theory that were almost bankrupt. Talent comes and goes, so IPs are very important. All their biggest IPs are owned by someone else. Spyro, Ratchet, Spider-Man. Nobody's buying the studio for Fuse and Sunset Overdrive. It's probably why nobody bought Telltale. So that's good for us. A healthy studio that can make heir own choices is the ideal scenario.
You say no one, but MS is over trying to buyout any studio they can get their hands on. Until they stop I will live in fear of having ratchet and clank devs snatched away.
There is absolutely no possible way that a Spider-Man fan could have a "persecution complex".
No they aren't. I even gave the example in the post you quoted. They didn't buy Telltale. They are being smart with their money.
Look at the studios being bought. For the most part, they were smaller studios that needed aid to make the projects they wanted to make. You don't see studios like, say, From, Rocksteady, Insomniac, etc... being bought. MS got the okay to improve their 1st party situation but it is more than clear they didn't get a blank check.
Personally, I like it better that way. Help the smaller studios and hopefully make them into something big instead of taking big studios away from others.

But yeah, how about that Spidey bundle!......
Do you have any insight on how the 3DS did?
I was surprised New 3DS XL and New 2DS XL systems had no price drop at all. I was planning to get one for my mother and passed when I saw it was MSRP.
They only had a special edition 2DS with Mario Maker.
I know 3DS systems did well last holiday cause it's a cheap gift. Would that still carry it this year?
This PR came out the following Monday last year.
So, assuming the results are PR worthy, we'll be getting something this Monday or Tuesday.
I clicked the link without remembering that Sony had a record breaking Black Friday in 2017.
Am I missing something here? From and Rocksteady are owned by big corporations...
Yep, last year was huge for them. I get the feeling this year will be more of the same.
They were just examples of big studios. I didn't mean anything beyond that.
I know that there is a black and white (slim) PlayStation 4 on the shelves as we speak, but when did those silver and gold models come out? I think they look great!
I really wish they would release different colour variations, like they did with the PSP, such as mint green, lavender purple and felicia blue.
In retrospect this may have been more about building "more" momentum...
It was around Summer last year during the first Days of Play sale.I know that there is a black and white (slim) PlayStation 4 on the shelves as we speak, but when did those silver and gold models come out? I think they look great!

Switch sold near 800k iirc last BF so more than that? Cool!
So even with probably selling not too far from 2M units, PS4 could have still done quite a bit better than that with proper stock. This system is gonna have some great post-gen legs.
The thing is, they have stock. It's going to hit stores on Tuesday in the form of a COD bundle. They were obviously cool with selling just the number of BF bundles they produced. They have to be happy with that even if some gamers aren't due to not getting one.
It is more the gauge of demand I was getting at. It doesn't seem like it was remotely close to meeting demand. It means good things to come down the road.

Wow. So the jugular has been gone for
That might be one of the greatest bundles ever released with a major game in the holiday season if true.
The game, the console, the extra controller, and its price. Good god.

That's a step up from the Spider-Man bundle.
Sony are officially in try-hard mode this holiday season.
Because this is not an official bundle but one made by the retailer itself.
It's that PS4 bundle with RDR 2 real? I am only seeing Tom's guide reporting it. It doesn't show on Walmart's Cyber Monday ad and if I'm not mistaking that Bundle was like for 400 dollars and it's now 298, so I think that's the deal and not 199.RDR2 Bundle with extra controller $199 starting Monday

Really curious how this is replicated elsewhere.
In the UK Xbox One 1TB has been selling from £139, though more typically £159, whilst PS4 has been selling from £219 and it is only the 500GB version. Huge, huge price gap.
In light of $199 US-bundles the UK price seems incredibly stingy. Might bite them, hard to call.

What's the point of bundling all that? I can't imagine there's enough stock. They probably just want people to go to Walmart.RDR2 Bundle with extra controller $199 starting Monday

Yup.
Create hype and emotional mood swing.
When the hyped people didn't get the bundle, they will be disappointed and be depressed, so therefore, they will buy random crap from WM to feel better or they will think WM has the best deal in town for Cyber Monday and will buy random crap for Christmas.
This is an online deal.
People who look for a great Ps4 deal online don't just buy some groceries because they're already in the store.
And even just for onlinestore traffic i don't see how this would make much sense.
