People are waking up going shopping looking at videogames and see PS4 $199. The sweet spot. There all like "what what what?"

It's amazing how it took a 199 ps4 to top xbox one x in the hourlies so far - X seems to be doing really well at 499. i wonder what happens when ps4 goes back to 299? would it fall below x? who knows.

I think that when January-February comes, the Xbox One will be falling behind the 3DS again in the NPD's like these previous months.

It was to be expected for the Xbox One X to do modest numbers, and it is silly to think that the X will be selling better than the S in the long run.

I wonder how many current Xbox One (OG and S) owners jumped the ship, and how many New customers joined the Xbox family? There must be a Poll somewhere...

Either way, when holidays ends and the PS4 goes back to the regular price the tendencies will go back to normal, with the PS4 and Switch battling for the Gold, specially because of the Amazing Line-up that the PS4 will have next year VS the hotness of the Switch and their share of Great Exclusives.

 

I strongly expect Sony to announce a permanent price drop for both PS4 and Pro at PSX in two weeks. They’ll never go back to the 299,/399,- prices.



If you take a look at this you'll see how perfectly timed that Horizon Zero Dawn and TLOUR reduction was. Particularly TLOUR.

It happend... it was #2 for quite some time but it managed to hit #1.

Daaaamn!

Double dipping in the 1st Place, what a beast!

I hope the stock remains solid for the rest of the week.

This is just like a Fast and Furious race, and Sony just hit the NOS button with this price cut.

Im going to be honest, i counted them out but now I'm not so sure! 

 

It was definitely that when Shu Yoshida was saying Sony “would have their own measures to combat the X1X”.

One thing to keep an eye on is the yearly chart. They are delayed by at least one day meaning we have only seen its place as of Monday. We wont see its final gains until next Tuesday.

Yes I know that it outsells the 3DS in the U.S., I was talking about WW, because I thought ThisGuyFooks was talking about WW, rereading his comment though he said "NPD", but he just said again he was talking about WW, so maybe he means globally in the U.S.? 

Globally in the US it is indeed.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

PS4 is Beasting and Sony will be feasting.

Ps4 plus has that #1 spot on lockdown. It's amazing how they can charge $40 just to play online and people lap it up. So much easy revenue. Just shows you how attractive psn is to the consumers.

Make online multiplayer free again and watch how almost no one cares for PSN. 

It’s been established already that PS+ accounts for a very small portion of the revenue. And you realise that it’s actually the other way round, right? People get PS+ because they care about PSN.

WOOOOW

That's really impressive when it's competition is a gift card!(I know that sounds like sarcasm but it's not)

So you’re saying the Switch isn’t competition?
