black friday is still the biggest contributor to sales this month. the two Starwars bundle will be pretty big, and the CoD bundle will do pretty good numbers as well. PS3 sold 500k consoles in black friday week in 2012, and it wasnt even the leading console. that was the 360 with 700k. how much is each bundle going to sell the entire month? last years XB1 CoD bundle sold 200k. we should expect similar numbers to PS4 CoD bundle.

Destiny, with 3 months of pre-orders and massive Destiny hype sold 300k the entire month. huge numbers, but still BF is bigger. 

but as i said before, Sony only needs to drop the price of the SW bundle to 299$ and they would sell a shit ton. maybe even bundle a game like infamous or until dawn.

Bundled games are inevitable on Black Friday, and like I keep saying (sorry to bang on about it), I think the price is already $300 for the PS4 but it's being hidden under the bundles. I don't think Sony will lose as much money as people think if they offer Star Wars/Black Ops Bundles with TLOUR + Uncharted Collection + 'bonus game of the vender's choice'.

The PS4 was profitable since mid last year on a hardware bases. they went on to ship over 23 million units since then. and its been a year and a half since they started making a profit at 400$. im sure manufacruting costs went down a lot, and component pricing decreased with time. and since they order a lot, economy of scale takes a play and makes things even cheaper. 

i would think they are profitable at 350$ with Starwars bundles in, actually i would say they are easily profitable with that. since its a download code, so they save on manufacturing and shipping, and the SE game would be in for a decreased cost since thats how bundles work.

at 299$ on black friday with an extra game or so. i think they would break even or be slighty profitable, even with an extra game thrown in.
