I don't see the reason why Sony needs to counter SW with more HW. This would only make sense if the Titanfall bundle was selling out (ps4 alternative to unavailable xbox), but it's not. There are plenty of Titanfall bundles. What WOULD make sense is making sure there are plenty of consoles to go around when YOUR exclusive comes out, ala Infamous. That is where you want to make sure someone who wants that game can get a PS4. That could be something they were reserving consoles for. Another scenario I can see is that they sandbagged a lot more for the Japan launch, just in case demand there was as off the charts as it was here.
I just dont think sony is concerned with "winning" a particular month or week when a big exclusive comes out for the competitor. You want to sell as much as you can as fast as you can, because you never know what will happen. Sony was not sandbagging for Titanfall. They may, however, have been reserving stock for Infamous and/or burning off excess inventory that was reserved for Japan. Some of you need to take your fanboy goggles off and realize that Sony is trying to move consoles, make money, and run a business, not ensure they win every week in sales just so people on VGChartz have bragging rights! |
For someone complaining about fanboys, you sure seem awfully oversensitive about how people view Sony's actions. :p
Seriously, though. What's the big deal? Sony's console has been destroying MS in sales and demand. Pushing more hardware in order to offset any potential shift in momentum from Titanfall is a brilliant strategy, since people were going to buy those units whenever they could anyway. What's wrong with that?
