Yeah, they don't care but you are certainly care about Switch crushing PS4 XD

Battlefront already released on the PS4, if people wanted to buy the console for that then they would have already bought it back then.

Did Destiny 2 boost the PS4's sales considerably? No, not at all... The first one did.

Playstation usually has an unremarkable holiday season line-up as they focus on the rest of the year. Those big third party block-busters are also available on PC and Xbox.

If God of War or Spiderman would have launched this holiday, now that would have sold systems.

Microsoft has Xbox One X to boost sales, Nintendo has Super Mario Odyssey and Playstation has a price cut (which Microsoft will likely match).

So yeah, that's why Playstation has the weakest papers of the bunch this holiday.

There are two Battlefront 2 bundles consumers can buy. Clearly there is a market for both bundles or otherwise, Sony wouldn't have bothered. We can both agree that they will not have the same impact as the Battlefront 1 bundles.

Destiny 2 boosted the PS4's sales to the point that the console was up YOY compared to last September. And considering that the only Destiny 2 bundle had the Pro instead of the standard PS4, that is a pretty impressive result in that it also gave a large boost to revenue, not just unit sales.

PS4 is up YOY in pretty much every month this year, so I really doubt Destiny 2 had much to do with it.

You argue Sony hasn't got anything to boost sales this year
Someone points out third party bundles help boost sales
You then say third party bundles don't help boost sales BUT acknowledge sales of the PS4 have improved this year over last year.

To what do you attribute this increase in sales of a three year old console?

Price cut? There hasn't been one
PSPro? Most argue it's done terribly and I wouldn't be surprised if you agreed with that.
Third party bundles and first party bundles? You think not.

... Luck?

How can I care about something that is not happening. I do care about the endless trolling taking place in the last few pages.

wow, the ps4 isn't moving up at all, the switch is going super strong, Scorpio edition is probably out of stock, but the x is finally getting some chinks in its shiny armor, it isn't getting the boost it needed in sales but it is far from bad and way better than what ps4 pro launched with boosting past the pro with just its preorders. I really wish the x becomes a success because it truly is high-quality gaming which is very cheap and actually accessible. this holiday season is gonna be hype as hell, 3 consoles legitimately fighting for supremacy though the switch is probably gonna win. really happy the switch is doing amazing, I'm still a bit of a cynic due to the limitations of its hardware but I'm honestly happy to see such innovation in gaming, maybe the ns2 will finally be what I never knew I wanted. the pro is probably always gonna be under the radar, and will just be more so with the new Xbox one x coming out and its huge marketing push. overall it is a great time to be a gamer, with high-quality accessible gaming, 4k becoming mainstream and amazing games like rdr2, anthem and metro exodus showing how immersive and beautiful the gaming universe could be.
