It is strange, they seem to be contradicting themselves. Saying PS4 was best seller on BF and then saying the Gears bundle was best selling bundle.....



That's their console 'pick' not the console that won.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Sony shares droped 2,15% today.

May be the Wall street internal reports are not that auspicious.

To be fair, it never said the PS4 was the best seller. It just said it was the best seller at certain retail outlets.



Wii U just entered the freaking top 10! Currently at #9!



Mmmmmm ... Maybe it's not quite as clean cut as we thought:

LEt's just say all the stores I have spoken with have confirmed that they received double the stock of XB1s in comparison to Wii U's with PS4 in the middle.

I also found out we were selling some of our BF bundles early (in error) since it was the same sku as the normal Uncharted bundles and we had sole out of PS4's before then.

anacdotally again, we are still waiting for a restock of PS4's since we have been completely sold out of all bundles since Friday.









 

The PS5 Exists. 


Why is Infoscout not releasing a proper report this year?
Compare the statements of "PS4 best seller in 18-35 age range" + "PS4 top earner at Best buy" + "X1 Gears as top bundle"
With this: http://blog.infoscout.co/gaming-consoles-black-friday/ and this http://blog.infoscout.co/black-friday-console-war/

Both out on Sunday. It's Monday now.
