Holy, that is one hell of a deal for the PS4.It will most likely sell like hotcakes.But that makes me wonder that the PS4 sales will tank from now to black friday in the regions where such promotion will be in effect.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Does,'t matter with things like these......

So what it doesn't sell well or even at all for the next 8 days or so. And lose all of say 100k sales (thats being really generous) then in 2-3 days it sells 700k consoles. Selling more in that time frame that it has in as much as 3 months combined on most months of the year. 

Thats the power of holiday sales.

But you lose 100k sales of console at 300 dollars to gain 200k at selling at 200 dollars with no profit(obviously Im assuming next to no profit).Just saying that Sony should have announced this 1 week before black friday, so that you profit over that slice of the market that dont follow the gaming industry that much and dont know when there is usually sales and stuff.

In the long run it wont matter much, since the PS4 will sell great either way.

good for MS in the UK and US, looks like they have a decent chance at making up for the first ten months of the year and hitting around 8 or 9m again. Maybe 10m if they have stock

so does no one have deals for the Pro so far?

If so, I would guess Sony will keep it as is for the next year before a $100 price cut holiday 2018.

I assume if they don't end up slashing the price this holiday(looks doubtful) then they will right before anthem, and rdr2. Those are probably going to be the biggest multiplats next year besides the usual COD, and battlefield. I'm sure Sony won't want people switching over to an x. 



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Nah I think its just the slim getting all the deals so far.

I haven't seen any so far. I guess I got really lucky when I got mine last year for $340 on a Cyber Monday deal. 

I didn't realise there were any deals last year. 

And I actually forgot about Cyber Monday being a thing. If i remember rightly, more money was spent online on CM than BF last year. So perhaps we will see a few new deals there, maybe involving the Pro

Which is why it's weird they have done nothing so far. Perhaps they are looking to ride out the launch wave and see how the X fares post-holiday before deciding
