Especially for the Pro this is really, really surprising. You could get one for $339 AFAIR instead of $399 and this is the launch month. I wonder why the discounts where necessary.

They weren't neccessary, Target has a 15% discount on pretty much everything, and Amazon was price matching them.

All the XB1 consoles are also 15% cheaper. I'm sure you already knew this though, you've been coming off extemely salty in all your posts I've read.

Salty? I wonder why a new console is discounted at all. Did this happen when PS4 and XBO launched, too? Hint: Not every post that doesn't really agree with your mindset is "salty".

How're you not getting this? it was a discount for PS4 Pro specifically, it was for everything across the board.lol

By your logic we should also assume that PS4 Slim and all the XB1 bundles were having trouble selling at their current price so they had to be dropped another 15% to move some units.

Xbox One black Friday sales are bad, they lost UK their strongest market in Europe so let alone the whole continent.

They better show some numbers in the US.

And I asked if this happened before. You don't know? Ok You don't see a difference in a discount between consoles that are 3 years in the market and a launch? Ok

Tell us, how bad are they? Basing on the PR that didn't mention they won? Mentioned in your locked thread?

I'm going to ask the same question again, how are you NOT getting this?

It was a storewide promotion at target where they were giving a 15% off coupon for anything you buy, and Amazon was price matching them.

It has nothing to do with not being able to move units of a console, they were just trying to drive customer to their respective stores.

Sony isn't the ones giving the discounts. Retailers are. And this is the Christmas shopping season. Price wars, baby.

I run very very fast. Like super fast. I'm not going to tell you how fast, but believe me. I'm fast.

Fast enough to pull off a pose mid run too?

You can't imagine why there would be a discount on BF? And also ignore that it was a storewide promotion to ALL items just to push a narrative? Are you really go that route or we can infer that you vanishing from the thread is not to admit defeat?

Defeat in one what? I am wondering why a new console is getting a discount. People told me it was a store-wide discount. That is one argument.

I arose the question if that ever happened before - no one answered. What is there to "defeat"? Is everything a fight/war in your eyes? Why?
