I personally don't agree with those points. Sony should be UP, not down for December. They didn't have PS4 Pro last year. They didn't have PS4 Slim last year. They didn't have a $250 PS4 last year. They have a better overall library this year. Something else is happening, IMO that something else is the XBox One S. If someone wants to disagree, that's their perrogative, I'm just calling it how I see it. I think Sony underperformed this November/December in general and relative to expectations, MS overperformed. This should not be close. |
And what parts of those points do you disagree with? To recap, Sony released three Star Wars Battlefront bundles as well as the standard Black Ops 3 bundle in December 14, 2015. Sony also released a COD bundle last month, but that bundle came out during the last week of December after Christmas. Compared to Black Ops 3, Infinite Warfare is the significantly worse game. Sales were also down by 50% compared to Black Ops 3. The AAA 3rd party offerings were substantially better during Holidays 2015 than Holidays 2016, especially when we talk about commercial performance.
In addition, the Uncharted Collection bundle was newer than the Uncharted 4 bundle at the time they launched. The UC Collection bundle and standalone collection simultaneously came out in October, so it was still relatively new by the holidays. In contrast, the UC4 bundle came out in September. At that time, UC4 was 4 months old. By November, the game was 6 months old. Comparitively, the UC Collection bundle was fresher than the UC4 bundle at their respective holiday seasons.
