Great sales for the Xbox One X!



Around the Network

Wow, this week hardware sales are just sad, with PS4 at 10k, and Switch beloew the 40k mark.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

updated the OP



The weeks before GW really are shockingly bad for sales.

Wow, another low week for Sony. I have to wonder if new versions of both the Slim and Pro are being announced so Sony is emptying their stock

I'm praying the shortage is legit. Either they have new models coming and/or a major price cut. However you'd expect it around e3 so maybe they just ran out of stock way to quick after monster Hunter world boosted hardware sales by more then expected. 

Really? We are still in this supply constraint theory? What now, Sony can only supply 10K to Japan? That's pathetic. Nom, everything dropped, not only PS4, so it is not the supply here. We look at baseline. Same for Switch. It will be better in Golden Week and with new releases (God of War and Labo for the respective systems).

Famitsu has confirmed ps4 stock shortages. It is not a theory.

Extremely boring week but Labo will make next week very interesting.

Been sold out on all online stores I've checked for weeks. It's not theory, it's fact.
