What's going to be interesting is who will suffer more from the after effects of the price cut?

Will Sony, like gg predicts, start selling a standalone console for $300 and will XB1 be able to go back to $350?


I've said before that I thought it was unusual that Sony only reduced the PS4 to $350. It was a historically small cut for a PlayStation system. Considering that there are only bundles right now, it would make sense for them to reduce the standalone model to $300.


Yeah I remember that post. The more I think about it the more it makes sense. I know gg planted the seed in my head and it's starting to grow.

Cut to 300 just before UC4 launches, maybe? Standalone, not bundle.

Amazons predictive qualities redeemed. To think people were trying to throw you out with the garbage.

Nope, the finger is not cutting itself.


My bad, it's fingercide since it's on the other hand

From Ryng on gaf again:
PS2 best November PS4 best November > 1.50 million

THE KING IS BACK!

With these monster numbers the ps4 will be able to stay ahead of the ps2 for a little longer.

PS VR is going to have a very big and healthy install base to launch with. I wonder if it can push the ps4 even higher.

That'd probably count as aggrivated assault (at least), unless someone intentionally tanned one arm a darker tone than the other ;)

Amazon absolutely nailed November sales.

Well, looks like the PS4 won November. Amazon has been vindicated yet again, and Gribble's fingers shall remain intact.

Surprised anyone was doubting it, seemed pretty obvious.

Ps... glad your finger survived the Ps4apocalpyse

So now we can speculate for December.

Negatives: no pre orders from previous months.

Positives: it has 2 bundles at 299 and for a lot longer.
Star wars hype will be mega and this will really help the battlefront bundle which is cheaper than any point in November.
It's a 5 week month.

If I'm right in saying ps4 did 1.5m plus in a 4 week month sales will probably be even higher in December. Could it push 1.7m-2m?

Worldwide sales gonna be crazy. We could be looking at 9m WW for November and December.
