2.5M?!!? Wow!! That'd be crazy!
Wow, that'd be fantastic! Nintendo's handhelds probably have pulled similar or better numbers, but their price point was usually lower than even the most basic Switch sku (with no games).There's usually a factor of 2x for Nintendo HW (and especially Switch) going from November to December, but this year November was more inflated due to Cyber Monday not being tracked in December and the MK8DX bundle. So 1.5 -> 2.5 is a good estimate I'd say.
That would be a twist!
definitely possible with high amount of xbox x being sold.
Yep. Switch gonna be the best selling console this year. Sony f up with low stock and bad december deals
You have to ask questions like how much money do you lose overall? What are the spending habits of the people buying deals like this?There were shortages yea. But the reason it's disappointing result is that they probably could have hit the same number if not higher if they did a less enticing deal but with more stock.
I mean... look at the XB1 result. It's a 100k within the PS4. I don't really get why you'd do such a great bundle, and limit stock so incredibly so.
I missed the thread because i had problems with the ERA update, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
[PS4] 1500K
[NSW] 1300K
[XB1] 1100K
Ya gotta have Faith, Arthur. Smash will lead us to +3 Million units.They won't have the usual grow. Still, it may sell 2.5m but i think is a best case scenario.

Pretty sure the number of stock they provided was intentionally done by them, with respect to how many they wanted to sell at low cost.Yep. Switch gonna be the best selling console this year. Sony f up with low stock and bad december deals
Wii pulled 3.81 million one DecemberWow, that'd be fantastic! Nintendo's handhelds probably have pulled similar or better numbers, but their price point was usually lower than even the most basic Switch sku (with no games).
Not so much limiting their stock as limiting their bundles sold at massively below cost. And it makes sense. The idea is to bring more people into the ecosystem and get them buying software to make up that profit, but there's a threshold in which selling too many consoles at such a reduced rate actually has a negative effect on that. Sony's been in the game long enough to have a ton of data informing them of where that sweet spot is for losing money on hardware vs gaining it on software.Why Sony keep limiting their stock?
Why people surprise at X1 if I'm not mistaken they got lots of different bundle to choose from

I won't be extraordinarily surprised now, after magicpork leaked that -3%.
Loosing market share to MS and Nintendo is a f in my book. Sony have lots of money so why don't use them to have profits in the long run? Ps4 user this gen is more likely to buy a ps5 next gen. Locking people into the ecosystem should be a prioritySony did not fuck up.
They got the sales they want and now riding the profit train .
Oh yeah, I kinda forget the Wii was like a damn rocket for a couple of years there. Still the Wii was cheaper than the Switch, so I'd be more impressed with 2.5M in this December!

YOU GOTTA HAVE FAITH, ARTHUR.
And we can't assume all the people buying this deal will make it up in software either.Not so much limiting their stock as limiting their bundles sold at massively below cost. And it makes sense.

My worst prediction yet I think lmao

Frankly I think that Spiderman bundle was too good. They would have sold the same amount with just PS4 at $200.
Sony did not fuck up.

Yep, that's the point I'm driving at. The bundle they put out for the stock they had is weird, when a $199 bundle would have sold just as well.
Speaking of, which is the best selling Sonh console in the US so far? PS2? And how far is PS4 from those numbers?Why are people surprised about Xbox selling the way it has? Xbox before Switch was notorious for getting outsold by Sony all year only to beat Sony in the holidays prompting I believe Greenburg to use that silly "regular season and playoffs" analogy. A rising tide raises all ships. The holidays are just like that. At this point, Sony doesn't care about trying to outsell anyone. They just want the profits and I'm shocked they were able to pass the PS3's LTD in only 5 years and are now knocking on the door of PSX's LTD.
