| Nuvendil said: Wii U over the Xbone AC Bundle and threatening the top 40, currently at 41. It seems to be overall trending up for the past few days. Also, binary brings out a good point. Just how much did MS overship this ACU bundle? It's been out of production for a while I think since MCC is the new primary bundle. |
I found this post from Abdiel on GAF's Jan 2015 NPD prediction thread:
"We've got a lot of stock of XB1's in our [distribution channels], from what I see. They're still moving, but the number is not small, by any means. Certainly far more than our PS4 stock, but Sony has gotten very good at replenishing us as soon as we need it, steady, constant shipments. We got massive shipments of XB1 in that holiday push, and now we're just kinda burning that down. As to the actual gap, I don't like to predict that, because our stores are only one of the major chains, and I can't extrapolate how the numbers gap will work out on that scale."
"As soon as the price drop ended for the XB1, it was like someone pulled the emergency brake, people were coming in with the impression the price was still lower, and were leaving annoyed, rather than pay the difference, and the momentum tanked really, really fast. Once the price dropped again, well, it certainly picked up more speed again, but it isn't really selling on the same level as it was prior. That gap in time really didn't help them. I'm not saying that people went out and bought a PS4 instead, but some people just elected to simply not buy at all. We'll see if those customers return sooner or later."
