Original Xboxes could have sold almost 300k? I guess that $199 plus $30 gift card offer at Gamestop was putting in some impressive work. The gap between the two systems was pretty much as I expected (I saw a 50k gap, though I thought the XB1 would take the month, since it went harder on the deals, with both systems to sell around 1.3 million or so, so overall sales are very good). Considering the amount of deals both systems had, I expect their q1 sales to be pretty awful, probably lower than last year by a decent margin. I saw the Xbox on sale for $225 with a $30 gift card and the PS4 at $249 with a $50 gift card, not to mention that Target and Amazon sale days when they were going for about $212.
It's impressive that the ps4 could sell that with only the Uncharted 4 bundle on sale. The Xbox did very well too, but it had every bundle on sale, including the originals. It would have been nice to see what Sony could have done with that IW bundle and a temporary price drop on the Pro, probably a decent bit over 1.6 or even 1.7 million. I wonder how many bundles that Gamestop only FFXV ps4 slim sold? It was expensive as hell, but it did seem to sell out, though it likely had very small supplies.
