One thing to take note of is that temporary deals will see more explosive sales since people will rush out to get it before the price goes back up then sales crater afterwards.

Permanent price cuts cause a boost too but they are more about creating an increase in baseline sales rather than a one time boost.

Well I know that but I don't think sales will crater. Maybe for a week or two but the ps4 was selling well in these countries already so it's not like they were at crater levels at the higher price. 

I know, I guess my point is that I dont think a permanent price cut will have the effect you're expecting. You will see an initial boost and a better baseline but at this stage of a consoles life price cuts just help prevent sales from dropping too much, they dont really cause notable growth.
