How much more boost can the PS4 even recieve? It's a system that approaches 90M sold so the system seller effect of software has to wear off at some point.
I think RDR2 has done insanely well but the big effect on PS4 sales just was not there.
The XBO deal is insanely good value which is well represented in the tool.
And the Switch bundles are the wildcard. They kept the system on top of the month and because they are preorders (Smash and D3) they are hard to guess.

It will be an interesting month and I have faith that the tool is right again as it has been since it's inception.

All those people that picked up a new console to play RDR2, that went with the Xbox this week, because it was 130$ off.... 
Those coulda been PS4 owners instead of, had Sony pulled a move like that.

So PS4 can still go higher, Xbox just stole all their thunder, by under cutting them massively, so PS4 didnt get much of a boost from RDR2.

This seems like a strategy from MS side, if they cant get marketing on a big game, they instead spend money on doing flash fire sales when title release.
It seems like its effective, its just a case of what wastes money more? Sony doing a RDR2 marketing deal? or MS throwing money away with 130$ off on console sales.
