I've heard friends deployed in Germany that they see Day One X1s on sale with two games taped to the box for €399! So we're talking a LOT of unsold X1s out there stuffing up warehouses and retailers. |
So, why no generalised price drops and promotions?
Amazon.de has all sku at full prices, and Amazon.it has only the Kinect blundle with a 11% discount.
Based on NPD we have the XOne sold 1.1mi units by June in the USA, 1.6mi for PS4, adding another 200k and 250k respectively for July .
And with Japan as a dead zone for the PS4, if we have more than 3mi PS4 for Europe alone!!!
If Europe is realy a 3 to 1 situation we should expect 1mi XOne until the end of June.
That is a total of 2.6mi XOne sold this year. 5.6 life time. (ignoring other markets).
The only explanation is that Europe is realy, realy pissed of with the XOne... and I don´t see a way to change that, unless a massive price drop.
