In the US?? |
ww it did for most of the summer, in europe and japan for almost all of it post mk8 and in the us for a while too. the xbone could not sell at $499 beyond the initial wave of early adopters. it could not even sell at $399. and microsoft saw it crashing with their little trial balloon promotion's-over nonsense, and lowered the price indefinitely (which means forever, until they lower it again for the holidays to $299 because even at $349 it fails to gain any market share in what is ostensibly its best market, the us, against the ps4).
OT, tho: i think wii u could easily have done 2-2.5m ww over the holidays with proper promotion and a price cut even to $249. i don't even think an aggressive bundle would be necessary. at $249 it hits that wii impulse-buy sweet spot that it needs to hit eventually this year to capitalize on all the great software that's coming.
