| Troll_Whisperer said: It seems that the discounts and bundles have helped the console a great deal, to the point where it's been close to PS4 numbers a few weeks. However, this got me thinking that many current sales might also have been brought forward from buyers that were going to buy it eventually. I mean, why buy it for 399 later when you can get it for 329 with two games? On the other hand, it's also possible that these current sales will increase its momentum, as it's in more homes and it may generate more buzz. What do you think? I see it falling fairly hard compared to PS4 after the holidays, so while the baseline will be better than last years 40k (pre-price cut announcement), I don't see it selling gangbusters either. I'd go with 70k or so. |
Because PS4's sales aren't front loaded? Come on, the thing has no decent exclusive software and the price is still too high for the average buyer. Most people are waiting for either a price reduction or some must have 1st party game. As for the X1 it depends on the pricing and on how things go this holiday. If MS wins by a considerable margin in US/UK the hype will work in their favour as it did for PS4 last year and if they choose to keep the price advantage the trend won't change until sony does something.
