I hope this thread doesn't get locked in two days, like the November thread.

I hope you're joking with this. None of those are from Sony or sold by Amazon. They're from 3rd party sellers and above MSRP. The white PS4 Pro at GS is not a sale. The Uncharted bundle is the older model and also above MSRP. I don't think that even counts towards NPD since it's not officially sold by ebay.

PS4 had no deals in February.

Wait so if i get a ps4 with a 50 euro discount not autorised by sony but from an authorised seller it doesnt count as a deal?

 

NPD has to track it. NPD doesn't track 3rd party sellers, only official partners.

Of course you got the deal, but were talking about NPD sales here.

That was because Boutros does the NPD threads and it's preferred that the discussion goes in the actual NPD threads.

Nice to see in the NA market is so competitive, that’s what i like to see. When Pubs have a runaway lead in the NA they tend to get lazy and greedy. From the looks of it Nin, Sony and MS are in a position where they know they can’t drop the ball in NA or they risk losing ground.

Exactly this. Competition is very important. Could you imagine someone wanting less competition? Less entertainment?

Back in the PS2 days there really wasnt much competition.....
PS2 won that gen hard, and it was still a fantastic time to own a Playstation.
Importance of competition is overblown imo.

Switch does look fun though (games catalog comeing along), and will probably be picking one up at some point.

To be fair, arrogance usually manifests after extremely successful generations.  The PS3, Xbox One, Wii U, Nintendo not caring about Final Fantasy leaving.  Sony and Nintendo both making their consoles harder to program on in order to making porting more difficult.  All of that came about because each thought they were in a highly favorable position.

I was just going to write that. The PS3 launch is the perfect example of what happen, when company believes it has no real threat.

Something something price while ignoring 3DS.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
