| thismeintiel said: I think most were surprised at how quickly it seems demand has gone down for the One. I figured it would be sold out for a few more months, partly due to lower stock (due to lower yields of their chips, since they are larger than the PS4's) and partly because of launch demand. But, it's in stock at most places. It doesn't seem to be lighting up the sales charts, at least not on Amazon. It's been in stock on there for about a week, now, yet hasn't worked its way up to #1 for the hour since going back in stock. It's been hovering around #10-#15. And I don't buy that MS is just greatly outshipping Sony. Not when Sony is already producing an impressive ~1M+ per month and focusing much of that supply on the US. |
I am also inclined to call BS on this explanation.
Sure, VGC data could be ridicuously off, but for now I will give it the benefit of the doubt and point to the current tally if said explanation is used.
In a best case scenario for MS XB1 launch window, they greatly outshipped Sony, but greatly undersold them. That may sound bad to some, but I consider the unavailability of every PS4 there is demand for to be a potential lost sale. Any time a company falls well short of demand when comparable, competing products are available, that is leaving money on the table.
