The issue was always going to be the Spiderman bundel's stock. That's been doing the heavy lifting. So while initial impressions of stock were strong, it's possible in the end it came up similar to or lower than last year's 199 deal. It's the same for Switch, the MK8D and Pokemon bundles did the big numbers. The shipment sizes of each will impact sales significantly. |
In case of Switch, only Pokemon would push hardware sales in any case, but offcourse that BF deal and bundles also help a lot.

But that's the thing. We had Brickseek inventory numbers for Spiderman PS4 vs MK8D bundles, and it's a 5:1 ratio or greater in favor of Spider-man for all the Wal-Mart stores I checked. There were were 40-100 Spider-man bundles and there were 2-10 MK8D bundles. All are now showing as < 2 stock right now for each, but the much higher stock for Spider-man should lead it to an easy November NPD victory. |
Well Switch wasnt selling only because BF deals, Pokemon pushing hardware sales hard and Switch has some other intresting bundles also, including Pokemon bundle.

That's very interesting because before November he was very skeptical that Switch will meat their 20m goal this FY.
