While Switch has been sold out at several points, and PS4 has been sold out all week (the Spider-Man bundle), the XB1 S Minecraft bundle and XB1 X have both been in stock every time I have checked the last few days and pretty highly ranked the whole time. XB1 S Minecraft bundle is now ahead of any PS4 SKU on the monthly chart, and ahead of 2/3 Switch SKU's for the month, while X has made it up to #59 on monthly, ahead of the RDR2 PS4 Pro bundle. I have seen a similar situation when checking the online charts for Gamestop, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target throughout the week, PS4 sold out all week and Switch sold out alot of the time, while XB1 has stayed in stock the whole time on multiple SKU's while remaining highly ranked. Seems like Nintendo and especially Sony didn't send enough stock to online retailers, instead choosing to focus on retail stores. We'll have to wait and see if that paid off for them in the end, but as far as I know online sales passed retail sales on Black Friday week about 3 years ago, so it seems to me like Sony and Nintendo would have been better off shipping more units for online sales rather than retail. |
That won't make much of a difference. PS4 and Switch will still outdo Xbox by a considerable margin.
