King of what?

Nintendo has dominated in different ways on different generations

Sony really dominated for two generations

Sega has dominated Atari has dominated... for a while too...

 

MS only dominated from second place locally for a very short time, much in the way NEC did with the Turbo-Grafx 16 (PC engine) in Japan back in the late 80s early 90s! talk about a king!

There is no king there, they're the king of video games, like you are the king of the USA I guess.

Something doesn't add up with this picture....it shows a Kinect XB1 with a bunch of PS4 that's not bundled.

Aren't the good XB1 deals Kinect-less and the PS4 has TLoU and GTAV?

I'm not from the US so I don't know all the sales.  What store is that btw? It's placed in front of the yogurt section?



And then they try to play AC: Unity and get to see the bugs lol.



Only reason its doing well is there is no Knack 2 to dominate the sales and rise PS4 to uber ultra dominance.

Now given the stock of PS4s iv seen shopping, sony seems to have a production advantage.  General greater demend menas they are in a position to over produce and just flood the stores with stock they know will mostly sale out.  Their ability to get consoles in stores might give them overall sales victory.  Selling out looks good for MS but it costs them sales.  



More anecdotal evidence: PS4 domination confirmed!

In addition to the other PS4 BF sku being on 15th, and the normal PS4 sku on 79th, while there are no other XBO SKUs in the top 100.

X1 AC was all alone at #1 all day yesterday at Amazon until the PS4 bundles went on sale last night. The X1 AC Kinect also sold out yesterday during that time. Still I dont even know if Amazon is the best gauge right now since it had the worst X1 price for the BF weekend. It was just the $329/$429 prices while all the other retailers through in extra gift cards, games, controllers.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I hope PS4 give a chance for Xbox one to win NPD on November, it will be to sadistic if PS4 win November as well.

The same is true for the PS4...



Why does Sony bundle the PS4 with a last generation game like GTA5? Updated or not, its last gen.

And GTA has also had much media attention for being violent and has a 18+ rating so many mothers wont buy this bundle for their children and the holiday sales are very much family oriented sales.

Because 90% of the gamers wants GTAV... it is the best bundle of the BF.
