| Ariakon said: The one that's mystifying me is that the 500 gb Battlefield One Xbox bundle is down so low. I thought for sure that would be up in the thirties or so by the time it released. Did people just not know about it or something? I thought that would naturally take over the Halo bundle's position, and still think it will, it's just odd that it doesn't seem to be up higher.
Also: a general question for everyone, what do you guys think Rise of the Tomb Raider is going to do this month? I'd guess about the same as its debut on the One, but I'm interested in hearing other's thoughts about it. |
The problem is that Gamestop have trade ins going at the moment and I would imagine most people are more comfortable taking their console to a bricks and mortar retailer. The blue-grey Gears bundle is also absent from Amazon. As far as Battlefield goes, I just don't think it's a system seller in and of itself. What MS should have done is have a customised console but instead they've just put Battlefield in with a black XB1. That's something Sony could replicate in a heartbeat if they wanted to.
The crash I keep speaking of is because eventually those OG XB1s are going to run out, the Pro will have released, some of those who already had a PS4 may put any disposable income towards the PSVR instead of buying a second console, the Christmas period will be over and with it the deals, Sony will have one of the strongest Q1s we've seen for a very long time and people will begin to wait for the Scorpio instead of selling their OG XB1 or plumping for a console for the first time. I honestly think that some of these delays we've seen from Sony are strategic in order to build a huge lead before Christmas 2017, and I think Sony will treat Q1 2017 almost like a relaunch of the PS4.
As far as ROTT goes, I'm going for twice the number it sold on the XB1 in the first month and three times the amount it sold lifetime (of course that's still ongoing to a certain extent).
The PS5 Exists.
