These are to counteract the black ops 3 PS4 buzz. Then a push for Fallout 4 and Tomb raider. No doubt then more deals leading into Battlefront. Then the black Friday craziness. I have a feeling Halo aside, most people have started buying XB1 based on the deals, rather than a steady sales flow, with peaks around all of the big games. I'm not sure how healthy this will prove to be going into 2016. |
Binging is never healthy, and concentrating all your sales efforts in the final 2 1/2 months of the year is binging. If the market largely forgets you for 9 months of the year, then you will get ever diminishing returns in that final 3 months. And of course the need for more extreme measures to reach the sales level they want.
Remember back when the punditocracy and commentariat were saying PS4's end of year was looking lackluster and that Sony was possibly giving Xb one a look in because of it?
