1.6 million on the shelves? Is that even possible? |
Very very possible, as others have said it should even be higher. I do suspect sony is limiting the amount of consoles its shipping out though. Forwhatever reason. probably trying to avoid what happened before. Or maybe they are clearing the channels for revised SKU.
| Barkley said: Sony really underestimated the PS4 this year, perhaps underestimating GoW is a factor in that. They might even have to increase the forecast again, but I'm content with 17m if it sticks. |
Anyone that is aware of what sony has done all of this gen would have seen that 16M previous forcast for exactly what it was. Sony always seems to undersell their expectations maybe just only so they can come back and outperform them. Or they are opting to err on the side of caution. Either way there was no way they would only ship 16M consoles.
Just watch as the shipment total increases every other quater until the end of the FY.
| Kerotan said: So for the last quater was it 3.2m ps4 vs 1.8m switch? Insane ps4 sells so well without a price cut. Surely a big price cut this holiday or will Sony go with another temporary holiday promotion? They certainly have the software to keep sales high at its current price but its just crazy to think they're not dropping the price further. |
Unfortunately seeing things like this makes me feel there is very little chance of us seeing a price cut this year. Like as is there is absolutely no business sense in dropping the price. That literally would be like leaving free money on th table. They are already shipping more than twice the number of their biggest rival, and 3 times the nimber of their direct rival.
Selling on par this year with what they managed last year. Are well on track to hit 90M sales this year. Which would mean they had another at least 17M console year.
Outside a holiday prmotion, why would they drop the price? Charity?
