Lol..guys. Come now. There's not going to be a permanent cut to 300 any time soon. Last year they also had a few deals of 329 and 350, even if they were more limited than this 2 week promo, and yet kept the price at 400 during most of 2015. They're not doing another cut until late 2016.

I was saying they should have dropped that SWB bundle the whole time (Well, at least for Black Friday). It's like someone out there is actually listening for a change. LOL


they wanted to monetize more on it, and now they will improve HW sales with it.

In this case, how does that make the x1 bundles jump up the charts?

I'm not sure I'm right now :()

I thought it through wrong but here's what I think it might be:

1: PS4 10,000
2: PS+ 7,000
3: XB1 5,000

to

1: PS4 10,000
2: XB1 5,000
3: PS+ 4,000

So forget about what I said before, but this does offer a feasible reason why something can shift up the charts even though it doesn't increase in sales.

they might as well make it permanant this point. The Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday and 6-19 DEC is going to contribute MORE than 6 months worth of sales in the slow months. Why would sell so many at this pricepoint just to raise it to sell 150k-250k a month and make a little more on those sold.

Besides, it's advent, close enough And "HOOOOLIIIDAAAAAAYS!!!" doesn't have as nice a ring to it



So this is the Star wars hype month, just how big an effect can it have on the consoles.
