Ideally, you would want to launch slightly before black friday like CoD does. That way you can satisfy the gamer need then move on to the holiday shoppers. |
One big pro, but a lot of cons... Unless the first shipments largely exceed preorders AND Sony have made some deal with the biggest chains to make them manage people that preordered without making them wait with the others.
Another factor is that UPS doesn't do normal deliveries on saturday, That means anyone who ordered online would have to wait til the next monday or beyond to get their copies. I certainly wouldn't want to be anywhere near a shopping mall on black friday weekend, it's complete and utter madness.
Also, people who shop on black friday aren't looking for the latest releases. They are looking for the massive discounts on products first and foremost.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
why is black friday the big shopping day in the US, here in Australia our black friday equivalent is boxing day all the big stores usually have some big ticket items below cost to start the frenzy and fuel is added to it by people spending there christmas money /gift vouchers and looking for post christmas bargains , so why is NOV26 big

There is a national holiday on the thursday before black friday called thanksgiving.

so did it come about by retailers trying to cash in on thanksgiving or is there some mechanism at work similar to boxing day
Btw i agree why would anyone want to release on that date no one would think of doing it here on boxing day it's basically a frenzy and the consumers are after bargains and the stores can get rid of a lot of stock

Basically, everybody outside of the retail industry gets the long weekend off. That means most of the country has a free day with nothing to do. Since it's a month before christmas, it's the retailers opportunity to open the holiday shopping season.

yeah, launching JUST AFTER black friday is a bit weird and risky because people may be "out of cash"
Time to Work !
