I'm a bit puzzled as well. I thought the demand for S would slow, but not nearly to this extent. I actually expected it to be up by a decent percentage YoY. I suppose it could be the One X effect, though that would be a looonngg wait for a relatively expensive system (solely by its price tag, I'm not commenting on its value). Maybe Switch sales are dividing the potential XB1 buyers more than the potential PS4 buyers? |
I'd chalk this up to exclusives. You got a lot of people looking to get into this gen with prices being so low, now. They look up PS4 and they have like 1-2 exclusives for each month for the first few months of the year. They look up XBO and they see...Halo Wars 2. Which do you think most people are going to get? With MS decreasing the amount of AAA exclusives they are making/buying, it will most likely get worse when the PS4 hits $199 and it still has a dozen or more AAA exclusives launching in the next year or two.
