Forums - Sales Discussion - The ONE's Price Drop Failed. What Else Can MS Do?

I feel with bundles(that are not store special's, but officials) They are only good for the few weeks before(preorders) and the first week the game is actually out. Now COD is out the bundle is quickly dropping out of the first page. I expect the unity bundle to stay in the top 15 until its release. the 11th, and on the 16th it will drop out again. When both games are over 2 weeks old it just goes down to the core SKU battle again. The real question is will the 2 week spike be enough to offset the general ps4 sales. Thats also assuming that sony dont do something for later end in november

Just grabbed SunsetO, the store was full of Sunset X1 bundles.

amazon really means f all as far as mass market sales.

I am enjoying the switcheroo here. Two days ago there were endless threads proclaiming Xbox domination based on hourly sales for three days and PS4 crowd were saying it was premature and hourly sales do not mean much. Now, it is the other way around.

Good stuff. :D

?????  Don't make sweeping generalizations.  It's normally different people value the hourly charts differently.  I never put much stock in them so shortly after a price drop because I would HOPE you sell for at least a week or so after the price drop so I got tired of reading about it every hour.  I put more stock in the monthly or yearly charts.  Even those must be taken with a grain of salt however as it is just one (very large) retailer.  Most of the "PS4 crowd" as you call them followed this mentality.  Are there exceptions?  Sure but let's not generalize like that just trying to paint one in a negative light or another.

Apologies for making "sweeping generalizations". I find it amusing, you obviously did not which is fine. I think using Amazon hourly a few days in the month to be quite useless and the whole issue sort of silly. Sure, Amazon has been a good indicator when the sample size is larger which is why I found various posts amusing. I was just a joke and it seems that we agree with waiting for a larger sample size. I have no stake in a console war which is why I rarely post here. Did not mean to offend and was not trying to paint anyone in a negative light. I may own a PS4 but am one of those people that wish all the consoles well because it is good for the industry.  



Xbone is dropping fast...

PS4 is upping again...

After the end of week PS4 will be ahead again like it is the norm.

I would hope the pricecut gives them a longer boost than that.

Didn't this same sort of thing happen during the TF bundle? Hell even I went to the local best buy and got in on the TF bundle. I  quickly returned it because TF was a horrible game and owning both systems seems pointless right now.

It happened but some users says it was the first time...

Can't blame them for getting so excited though. Those bundles are pretty sweet deals and the X1 was really struggling prior to the announcements of these bundles.



Now is too early but 2 days ago was a better moment? Saw a lot of people here that weren't claiming for patience in the last thread.

Going by OP logic x1 dropped 66% quite normal after pricecuts/bundle launches.
