They did so last year already and it didn't suffice for the first spot when Switch had only Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as their big title

They did so last year in just 2 days of November, and November was an absolute NPD blowout in favor of PS4. In December the PS4 did not have any deals.

I don't think he claimed anything like that. He was probably arguing that in a situation where sony discounts the ps4, it's not so unlikely the ps4 might take the month, while observing that Bofferbrauer has a short memory. At least that's how I interpreted his post.

Indeed I'm starting to believe that with a price cut and some heavy marketing, the PS4 might win both december and the fiscal year...which is amazing considering it's almost at the end of its life cycle. Whether they want to cut the price is another story though...I honestly don't think they will, except maybe for the days around black friday.

It's Megiddo that has short memory, as the PS4 had many deals in december (PS4 slim -50$, Pro even -100$; keep in mind it's normal price back then was still 449$), and yet got trounced by the Switch both in the US and Worldwide even though their big holiday title was a C-list (by Nintendo sales standards) RPG.

Did you even attempt to read the posts I was responding to? I will summarize for you.

 

JSG: You must be on drugs if you think PS4 has a chance to win December.

Last: Well I do think Switch will win but if Sony does a price drop it has a chance.

Boffer: They did do a price drop in December last year and still lost.

Me: The price drop was in November and it led to big sales. December had no price drop 

 

C'mon zorg, you are more intelligent than this. You can read and follow a simple discussion. I know it.

No deals?

Thanks for pointing out the sales in my absence.
