You didn't read the Op did you? Or if you did you completely failed to understand its thesis. Not sure what's worse, failing to read or failing to understand. @OP your logic is interesting, however it fails to account for one thing. There are roughly 100 million young'uns in the USA, roughly 40% want a game console, roughly 25% of those want a xb one and roughly 40% of them are not especially fussed about what console they get. That means roughly 26 million kids and teens who have birthdays evenly spread through the year. That means 200k birthdays per week spread over 5 years is 40K consoles per week as birthday presents, minus 10k for consoles bought for Xmas means 30k consoles. The price skew puts xbone at an ongoing weekly advantage which can mean xbone > PS4 most weeks. |
Over 5 years, assuming that every kid gets one. Many kids don't play video games or some buy both. And a lot don't get consoles for birthday but something smaller. I only got consoles for xmas for example. Also, I don't entirely understand your numbers either, what about kids who want a ps4? Main demographic only means the largest portion, not 100%
