PS4 being number one is a big deal considering the Xbox One deals, Gears, Rare's Collection, exclusive Madden advertising, Madden Bundle, Gamescom (solo conference), and backwards compatibility being announced....


Again, there were *no* deals for PS4 in August?

They weren't nearly as good.  Free with TV or $175 with trade-in...  Come on. PS4 had nothing on those sales....


Nearly as good is subjective and would only be a measurement of sales. And the PS4 had more sales. I mean, it's one thing to make the PS4 victory look even better than it actually is but we should at least also say what the reason was for PS4 to have the sales and that would include deals and bundles, too, right? Otherwise people would assume they were absolutely no deals or bundles to compete with MS which is wrong.


You are right but we should also then point out like for like deals and the reality of PSTV and PSVita not being products most customers are interested in, especially in the US where the Vita is barely relevant. 

 

In comparison you have Gears, one of the most successful franchises, an annual Sports game with a decent following and the extremely nostalgic Rare collection with some of the best Rare games including Conkers Bad Fur Day.

 

The PS4 bundles are stale in comparison to the X1s. It would be different if you had the Gears bundle go up against the MGS bundle, or the Rare bundle against a Tearaway bundle.
