| binary solo said: MS has fewer markets to supply and lower demand in those markets too, in fact first shipments in most of those markets haven't sold through. So MS can definitely divert more ongoing production to the USA. I wouldn't be surprised if MS is outshipping PS4 on a weekly basis into the USA by as much as 2:1. Sony was ambitious launching in 35 markets within the space of a month, and arguably this ambitious move is hamstringing US sales potential. |
Sony knows that a big impact on sales is how many of your friends have it. It's a gamble over who gets the install base first over who sells more, where.
It's hard to say which is the better option. USA is very important, but as we've seen over this past gen, so is Europe.
