So you don't think there were people out there buying it simply because of the holidays and because of deals? Not a single % of the purchases were made because of either of those two factors? If you think it would have sold the same in March then you must not think anyone bought it for those two reasons. |
There were no PS5 deals and the system pretty much sold out the majority of its holiday allotment prior to the November launch. Getting a PS5 was essentially a lottery, of course some lucky people may have got it for partners/family/friends or even themselves as holiday gift but there was clearly many more people who wanted to get the system unrelated to the holiday who couldn't. Even if 10% of PS5 launch sales were holiday driven purchases, there was much more demand unrelated to the holiday which cannot be fulfilled and thus the system will have stock issues until at least spring (highlighted by sony, retailers & analysts)
Whenever this system launched it was going to sell out
