i think the only mistake they really did was not having a halo bundle for 350$. for the same price you could have gotten a PS4 with Starwars, a new and current gen release. the 350$ bundle for the XB1 was gears, a remaster.
a 350$ dollar halo bundle, would have been a very strong seller. IMO the Fallout and Tomb Raider bundles should have been 350$, but one would understand they would want to focus on profitability more this holiday, and not wanting to give a 3rd party game with a 350 bundle.
regardless, they did 1.2 million in November in the USA, and were up in the UK during black friday. from the data we know, XB1 did pretty good this holiday. it wont compete with the PS4 on a worldwide level, but its performance in the markets that XB1 has a presence in, it did pretty well. |
Yes, 1.2 million is not bad. But PS4 doubled its sales this year in the US compared to last november, while the XB1 was up like 1-2% this month. Its a big lose, especially how Xbox use to dominate NA.

thats because sony actually gave a fuck this year. last year they did no price promotion during blackfriday. just bundling TLoU and GTA for 400$.
this year they had a price cut in Octobor, had three bundles collect pre-orders for 2-3 months (the starwars bundle, the limited edition CoD bundle and LE Starwars bundle). they had more bundles (already mentioned) along with the nathan drake bundle. and they had marketing rights for CoD, Assassins Creed and Starwars battlefront, and then they dropped the price of the PS4 another 50$ to 299$ during blackfriday, shortly after cutting the price of the PS4 just one month earlier.
