Oh i see. Fair enough. Still, pretty big drop for all 3 and to be expected too.

Of course

Sony will of course be down a lot in January as well.

But I think he means that the percentage drop may be bigger for Switch and XB1 if Benji (US sales insider) is right about Switch being over double PS4 in December AND if the NPD predicting tool is right about PS4 being relatively close to Switch in January.

If XB1 ends up being over PS4 in December and the graph below ends up being close to the final numbers in January, you can see why XB1 would have a "massive drop" compared to PS4

 

Oh i see. Fair enough. Still, pretty big drop for all 3 and to be expected too.

The one benefit for Xbox in January is that sales drop a lot anyway so even if they are doing badly, overall sales for all three won't be massive anyway, so the gap will be probably ok.

Well... At least the xbox is consistent.



Seems like almost everybody who was interested into the XBO bought one when it was cheap and now nobody's really interested anymore.

I think MS with their aggressive holiday approach every year has trained consumers to buy like that. Ultimately it's less profitable then selling the same number at a higher average price throughout the year. I think that's why Sony has taken a different pricing approach.
