| Pionner said: But nothing you said pertains to that. It has nothing to do with being a "Sony fan." We can discuss Amazon trends, this is a Amazon thread after all. But your post reads like you were making broad generalisations about Sony's strategy, and popularity of the COD and SW bundles, based off Amazon's hourly chart. You claimed, and i quote- "Generally speaking, Sony's strategy has been spot on this generation but I think this is one case in which things haven't gone as expected. Star Wars doesn't sem to have pushed the PS4 as much as I think Sony expected and the Black Ops 3 Bundle hasn't done as well as expected either. Price seems to be the only driving force at the moment." We have reports of the opposite happening. Using the hourly to infer that PS4 bundles are not doing as good as Sony hoped frankly doesn't make any sene. Especially since, again, insiders on gaf say the SW bundle is still selling extremely well.

Maybe that's because you haven't been part of the conversation for the last few weeks. I'd perhaps accept you not understanding I was talking about Amazon but not other people who I know have been following the thread more thoroughly. It's as if people can't remember what people have said before and don't weigh what they're saying now against that. Why would I discuss insiders on GAF telling us the PS4 is doing extremely well, and why would I explain to certain posters that Amazon isn't likely the best representative because of the fact more people are using bricks and mortar retailers, and then go on to say Amazon IS representative of how sales are going overall?
And this whole argument about the hourlies is insane. One hour followed by another hour and another eventually leads to a day and one day followed by another day eventually leads to a week. When I discuss anything related to the hourlies it has to do with a trend, NOT one hourly result. Im not going to see the PS4 suddenly leap ahead and proclaim a PS4 victory and visa versa. If the PS4 leads one hour and then the XB1 leads the next, that tells us nothing. If the PS4 leads one hour and the next and the next then that gives us a possible trend. If that trend in the hourlies continues through the next day too then we DO have a trend and a likely winner for the week. Currently the XB1 has lead for 6 days in the hourlies ... I'd call that a trend. I'm judging it on the XB1 leading in the hourlies for SIX days, not ONE hourly. Price is beating marketing deals, at least on Amazon.
The PS5 Exists.
