Sony are just there chillin. They probably think celebrating winning in the US is anti climated after they celebrate winning the world with their shipment updates already.

| Kerotan said: So Microsofts statement was basically "Yay we lost by a little less this month". The 2 week price promotion in February should ensure a 4th victory in a row next month. Sony should cut it to $250 permanently in April and bundle it with Uncharted 4. Then cut the Pro to $349 during the launch of the scorpio. They hold all the aces. Otherwise they might just take lower sales this year and cut the price come holiday season. |
I've been saying this for a while. And I believe thats what sony are going to do this year. And this temporal price drop now is the start of that.
This year, sony are going to go agressive on pricing. I firmly expect to see $199 PS4 in nov/december this year.

Sony doesn't care about the US numbers nearly as much as MS does. As long as they are ahead or close, they will be outselling MS by at least 2 to 1. That's why we get milestone worldwide numbers for the ps4 (i.e. 50 million), but no real US numbers any longer. Sure, their numbers have been down yoy, but it's hard to spin the number one selling console in a bad way.
| Shadow1980 said: Actually the 360 had some pretty decent Januaries. January has just been a weak month overall this generation. Combined PS4 & XBO sales were under 400k both last year and in 2015 for January. Combined PS3 & 360 sales never dipped below 460k any January from 2007 to 2013, and was over 500k in four out of those seven years. Also, February is big for a non-holiday month (usually the biggest in terms of per-week averages, assuming no big system-sellers in the March-Oct. period) because of tax season. People like to spend their returns (if they get one) on big-ticket items. That's how I bought several of my consoles. But as for the PS4, it's starting to look like it's passed its peak already, while the XBO still has a little room to grow. February will be an important test for both of them. Let's see if that two-week price cut to $250 for the PS4 does anything. Maybe Sony should have left it at $250 after cutting it to that during the holidays. |
I disagree. At $270 the XB1 is apparently priced in such a way that its cheap enough to do better YOY but still not push PS4 numbers. At $270 the PS4 is priced to still do better than the XB1 but not do better YOY. I feel right now sony just needs to be selling at a lower price than what its doing now. I really don't get why sony didn't keep the price at $250 and then drop it further to $199 during the upcoming holidays.
Maybe they aren't as interested in YOY wins as long as they just win the month?

Sony probably didnt keep it at $250 because the COD bundle came out right after the holidays and they might have expected that to push hardware. But this is the most disliked COD so it probably didn't perform well so they cut the price.

and for 6 months before March 2016 it was the same PR every month.
"PS4 is once again the top selling console in the US for this month. Thank you to our fans and supporter for the ongoing support."
