| celador said: PS4 is going to have to remain right up there for the rest of the month to even have a chance of being competitive |
This is the problem with Amazon, we just don't know what happened in the previous weeks, perhaps for example (example data)...
Week 1: Ps4 sold 30k, and Switch 40k
Week 2: Ps4 sold 30k, and switch 40k
That means switch is leading by 20k. Doing well at that point if the month was going as normal, but this is November and Black Friday month.....Then discount and black Friday comes in and we saw this with other products (like the pro) which didn't get the discount last year, it didn't push much (people want deals).
Week 3: PS4 sells 90k, and switch sells 40k
Suddenly PS4 is leading by 30k.... its all hypothetical, but you get the point, if the gap isn't that big at the moment, this week and Black Friday make up a lot of the sales for the month, can all change quite easily (especially as the numbers for this month are a lot higher than the numbers I quoted above).
If Nintendo cannot discount their product much as its the first year, then it will have a less of an impact this week. The same will be said for XB1X, which is why in the UK and I am sure in the USA the XBs is getting the major discounts. XB1s is 220 with Battlefront.
