I don't think it was a misstep from Sony so much as a necessary move from MS. If they can sell well and make better profit than MS during the holidays, they should go for that instead of chasing market share the whole time.

they stuffed to many destiny bundles in retail and nobody wants the destiny bundle because the game is meeh and other bundles with better games are cheaper |
I was thinking the same thing. Too many of the Destiny Bundle..
It is near the end of the end....
| Emperorbach said: Not enough GTA V / TLOU Bundle: This bundle was extremely popular : 340k !!!!!! in less than 4 days , it ran out of stock pretty quick , somy should have provided more to the market LBP lack of bundling and bad timing release : IMO after seeing the sales , I admit LBP didn't sell well , it should have been delayed a month or 2 , for Sumo to iron out the bugs , maybe add an 1 or 2 to the story mode , and better marketeD , LBP was pretty much sent out to die in this holiday period They can't afford a price cut as they need to make profit unlike MS |
I think the same could be said of M$ as far as bundles go. They could have had another 200k or more SO white bundles available.
The real questions is whether or not this affected sales. Did the buyer not buy because the bundle they wanted was out of stock or did they just buy a different bundle?
My guess is that during the Holidays, they just bought another bundle...

LBP3 has already sold 350k in 2 weeks in the US and 1 week elsewhere. Way to exaggerate lol. It will easily reach 1m+ in December

I thought the sales were pretty poor.
I mean, people say Bayonetta 2 is a failure and that game sold over 400k according to VGCHARTZ. LBP sold over 5 million, Bayonetta 1 sold like 1M on the PS3. VGCHARTZ has LBP 3 at 350k.

If Sony executives want a sequel, they'll get their sequel. Now what I want to see is a new Crash Bandicoot game by Naughty Dog. What happened to that franchise is one of gaming's biggest crimes (alongside Banjo-Kazooie and Conker). |
I think it's possible that they could work on a sequel to one of their earlier series after Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is released. I'm assuming that they are already working on a sequel to TLOU. I believe that Naughty Dog has had more success with their more adult/realistic titles compared to their earlier stuff.

Agreed, but I'd still rather see them work with Crash. There are so many realistic/adult titles out there, how many good 3D platformers can you name?

None that I can think of especially on playstation consoles in general. They could make a Crash game along with a sequel to TLOU.

Did you ever stop and think that maybe that is not what most consumers want?
I love my Mario games on my Wii U but that is not what the majority of gamers want.
