And like I mentioned in the post above yours; the PS4 is also down yoy, or flat at best, isn't that also bad, especially for a market leader going into only its second full CY? Seems like the overall market is just, well; bad. |
well, it was down 100k based on the last released numbers (from jan to end of Feb). and that was considering it had a launch in japan. excluding japan the PS4 was actually up slightly YoY. it also retains the same price it had for the past 18 months. another thing is that its sales, even if flat, up slightly or even down slighty YoY are still considerably high, unlike the XB1. The XB1 is 30% cheaper, has had games bundled since the start of the year, and has a better software line up in general since last year.
Edit: Also, PS4's first 3 months last year benefited greatly from the shortages that happened during launch. there were still lines in the streets infront of being formed in january if i remembered correctly
