that wasn't the reason ps4 sold the best this year, in fact last year holiday ps4 sold more. ps4 none holiday months saw the biggest jump in sales this year. 199$ ps4 were super limited, sold out in 2 days. maybe gave it a 500k boost in the US this year, and in europe i'm not sure if they had the same deal.

I am not going to refute the PS4's good sales this year. However, to make it out as if the $200 PS4 had a minimal impact in the US is quite disingenuous. At $200, the system managed to take November, when that deal ended it went to third-place for the subsequent month and sales dropped month-over-month. This pretty normal for systems as they go through their lifecycle; pricing and major new releases help boost them.

I said it gave it a 500k boost. ps4 dropped in december big because  xbone was 189$ the whole month, while ps4 was 299$ till the 17th. in november ps4 had the price drop earlier then xbox. i'm also sure switch caused both to lose a bit of sales as well.
