That article was already torn apart yesterday on resetera. Benji pointed out that’s PR from target and not to take anything seriously from it. “It means nothing”. ~ Benji”
It also showed psvr selling better than base PS4. That’s obviously not true. Target might have been impressed with switch sales but the bigger picture shows PS4/X1 far outpacing It according to Benji and other insiders.

Thanks about the info... and the article wasn't even that precise saying Switch won over there for anyone to make decisions on it.

Those Switch boxes are all empty... PS4 boxes have 10 system each.

Are you kidding me? Why would Target not mention anything about PS4 or any product when it's selling so well? That's straight up the worse excuse...
PR talking or not, Switch has made such buzz for them to put them on the list of hottest items when PS4 isn't (and again, if it's selling the way people is claiming it is, there's no way Target wouldn't mention it on the list).

Nope, unless you think PS4 done bad, do you?
They mentioned what was in their best interest. And you yourself proved our point... Switch made Buzz for Target, so making an article that will put them in a good light is good, so they will focus on Switch.
Again verified insider put that nowhere there is a information about Switch winning.

Gamestop is selling the PSVR Gran Turismo bundle for $199 this weekend. I'm picking mine up on hold tomorrow.
Plus I'm new here. Whats up guys? I used to have an account on GamePro...about 5 or 6 years ago...if anyone remembers that site...

That deal is a steal... Enjoy GTS and PSVR, both are fantastic.
Rayban99 said:
Is nobody going to point out that the articles being linked don't actually say what people are claiming? The switch one literally just says it was one of many items that sold well lol. |
Well for the guy that is discussing it, Since Switch was named and the others didn't they all flopped and Switch sold alone.

I actually think so. Black Friday moves people because of the deals, so no deals is a huge disadvantage. I'll honestly be pleasantly surprised if the Switch wins the BF. Everything points out that every console did pretty well, so that's good new for everyone.
EDIT: Well, I think so if the console is actually popular. I mean, a 4 years old WiiU wouldn't stand a chance xD.

Errr sorry about that... PS4 and X1 released and had no deal on 2013 BF and still sold plethora and had WiiU nowhere to be seen (even costing much more), and in 2014 PS4 hadn't any significant deal and wasn't that much outsold by a X1 with aggressive deals.

It’s not my intention to undermine the PS4. I have a PS4 along with a Switch so I have no incentive to talk crap about it. I even said in a previous comment in another thread that I’m glad that all of the big three are doing well. Just saying the PS4 had the head start this year compared to the Switch. Whether you interpret it as undermining or not, the fact is it had a two month start. We were all singing praises of the console when it outshined the Wii U completely despite its one year head start. I personally don’t care if the PS4 ends up selling better than the Switch all year next year or the next. As long as they all are doing well then I’m a happy camper, even as mainly a Nintendo fan.
I haven’t said anything in my opinion and argued them as fact. I said the first year lineup is really debatable, there’s nothing really fact about it unless you want to compare meta scores or sales or whatever. If you don’t think it’s debatable then that’s fine. All I was saying in the comment earlier that the PS4 at $199 with the library it has is a great deal and should do well. Where is it that I undermined the PS4 that time?

There are a lot of multi plat owners that do talk smack about the one they like less (there was one user here that only posted about how much he hated his PS4... well there is still one that makes sure to say how his X1 is superior to his PS4 and the exclusives for X1 also are better in almost every opportunity)... and likely I'm said to hate MS and Nintendo even though I have all Nintendo consoles from NES to Wii (and will get WiiU and Switch at some point) and a X360.
About the head start... Switch was announced before this year begun and demand pent up, so the small headstart of PS4 for the year is meaningless compared to release sales. If you wanted to use the sold out issues that would be more relevant than headstart of couple months.

Well, why did Switch make buzz for Target?... Exactly, because it's one of the best selling items!
If PS4 was selling like crazy they would've said it so people knew where to find the console. That's the reason they are focusing on the Switch cause it's selling well...
Now, not only Adobe Digital Insights has put the Switch as the best settling item for Black Friday but also for Cyber Monday, dragging the system's popularity through the whole weekend... (Also, the added Super Mario Oddysey to the list of best selling items for Cyber Monday)
