That applies to both, the software is not the problem here, its the supply.
| Cobretti2 said: Why does everyone assume its all about Xmas bonuses. For most part companies differ when they pay them or if they even pay them. Some pay twice a year, some once a year. Mine for example pays in September. my best friends company doesn't even pay a bonus. It is just pure business sense to do it for various reasons (yes bonuses may be one of them but not the main reason). Christmas everyone goes crazy buying presents so you release something for it. I'd argue for a console manufacturer it is more about recouping the R&D costs quicker for the new console and giving confidence to shareholders and developers that the console has a strong start. ' |
Because.. they will sell the most units at Xmas time which boosts their sales by a decent market. You don't figure why they both didn't want to wait after Xmas?
| Dallinor said: Yes and you were rightfully called out on it. It's an absurd argument to suggest scalpers had a major impact on sales or that the PS5 would not have sold out initially otherwise. Genuinely one of the most ridiculous things I've read on this site in a long time. |
Rightfully or wrongfully? I bet the only ones trying to defend against that claim are the usual same people who dislike facts. You have no proof that these consoles would have sold out completely at launch because they haven't sold out right now, there are thousands of PS5s and Series X's sitting in warehouses waiting for customers to buy them. If you think that's selling out than id say you are wrong.
