Well guys its been both fun and stressful working the PS4 launch. I thought I'd stop by and give you an update on how things are trending at launch.
1. Sony is back with a vengeance. The momentum of the PS4 is currently nothing short of astounding. While the 1 million sales in 24 hours number is impressive Sony could've sold somewhere in the region of 2.5 to 3 million had they provided the inventory.
2. We can't meet demand. Our phones are ringing off the hook, customers are asking to pay huge amounts to secure one, and all stores are at or nearly at 100% sell through. Dont expect excess amounts of stock till late February or March of next year.
3. Cry for Knack, smile for Killzone.
4. COD, AC, and BF4 are King.
5. Switching to pay for play online was a good business choice. Massive increase in PS+ memberships.
6. Failures are real, but far too early to assess the percentage
In closing PS4 just had the most successful console launch in history. As long as Sony brings the games we very well may be looking at another PS2.
Now the countdown to X1 begins........
shame, but apparently it's not of that high quality so the subjectively but still better games deserve to sell more.
