I am curious why a device that will sell out at the current price needs a price cut to "sell more". |
If you read my sentence you will notice that I actually said none of those things. I said, BF deals vs. no deals will give Ps4 the edge. It's simply a question of the Ps4 slim being the cheapest console on the market right now (not to mention the Ps4 being an insanely popular console in general) and people will bite.
The Ps4 at it's current point in life and with it's current pricepoint reaches a diffrent demografic than the Switch imho. The Ps4 is reaching far into the casual and lower income markets and the Switch is just too new and a little too pricey to do that just yet. Nintendo has the 2DS for that.
I'm under the impression that it is not immediately selling out across the board in the US anymore, but that stock has a rather short shelf life. I apologize if my info is wrong on that count. I also expect them to ship significantly more this month than they have in any preceeding month, so they might actually be able to meet demand. Or not. We'll see about that.
I don't think Ninty needs a pricecut on the Switch and neither did I expect one. The Switch is doing phenomenal, but to expect it to outsell the Ps4 in what probably amounts to it's peak year, in one of it's best sales periods just as it hits 199$ is a setting expectations a bit high imo. I'll be extatic if it does end up winning November, but I don't think it realistically will.
