Why is the ps4 fool edition selling better than an xb1 console?
It isn't slim and doesn't have a game - why is anyone buying that if the ps4 slim is in stock?

To be fair I would get the Fool over the slim......I prefer the Fool easy

I think people are searching for PS4 and then going through the link in the vanilla PS4 to get to either the Pro or the UC4 bundle. I reckon it then counts towards the vanilla version. For me, that's the only explanation, unless a hell of a lot of people don't even bother looking and DO just buy without thought ... which I'm skeptical of. There IS the outside chance that people prefer the design of the Fool's Edition of course.

As a Slim onwer, I must say it's a sexy bitch.
I've always found the OG design better before buying a PS4, specially because of the blue light bar on it, but even as the Slim is simple, it's still sexy.

Yeah I have seen the slim and it is indeed nice But I just prefer the OG design lol. It is just......well sexier lol!

I wouldn't call it an outside chance.  I've heard a lot of people say the Slim is bland looking next to the original design.

If this keeps up, PS4 definitely has a shot at taking April. Good to see Pro stock back. And to see it outperforming XBO at $245. Sony may only drop the price by $50 this year. I would prefer to see a $299 Pro S, but looks like it will do well enough at $349.

It's a really tricky month because the Switch has been out of stock on Amazon nearly all month.  Demand is clearly high enough if it is beating the PS4 at 250 or so when the Switch is around 380.  But this does mean Amazon may not be as precise an indicator of overall sales as it usually is.  It's a question of stock.  We have to wait and see cause it is entirely possible Nintendo is setting some stock aside for the period around Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's launch, which could easily give them the month by a comfortable margine.  Again, it's a question of if their production pipeline can keep up with demand.



1TB PS4 Slim coming to North America, $299
