I wonder if the musical commercial Ninty just posted will boost pre-order sales on Amazon. I mean, it's already #12 on the yearly chart, but it could probably reach the top 5 before the end of this week.

The next target is the main ps4 sku though, the slim!  That will be a tough catch. I also noticed 4 out of the top  5 games were Nintendo  ones, the only 1 to hang with them appears to be a heavily discounted HZD!

Or, you can get one of these from Walmart for 199.96 instead. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Microsoft-Xbox-One-S-500GB-Battlefield-1-Special-Edition-Bundle-Storm-Grey-ZZG-00028/54946638

The fire sales are a-startin'!



'A console is not just for Christmas' is definitely not a campaign slogan MS could legitimately run with. Perhaps 'Wait a year and get it cheaper' would be an option. Why do MS keep doing this?

Nintendo really ought to ramp up production further. 2m a month over holiday season really isn't enough! I can imagine some pretty disappointed people come Christmas day!

It will be interesting to see how this does:

In my opinion, that's a bad cover. Why haven't they included details of the DLC on the cover? What does 'complete edition' even mean to someone who has never played this game?

Didn't even think about that before, but I fully agree with you. If someone who doesn't know about the game or DLC just walks into the store or is on Amazon or something there's no way for them to know the difference between the regular game and this edition.

Not only that but putting Plus Frozen Wilds DLC on the cover gives it a much better value proposition. This is a weid decision.

The box of the game has a backside and the average consumer is knowledgeable enough to pick a box from the shelf and read what's written on the backside.

The Amazon page is poor, I'll give you that. There's no image of the backside of the box, nor does the product description reveal what's included in the package.

Advertising 1.O.1: Make it bold, make it clear. This is a bad move by Sony.
