Everyone was doing well when PS4 and Xbone weren't down 30%. Which is what Benji explained. And there were plenty of months the last two years when Switch was leading the pack that all three were said to be doing well. I do think it was presumptuous for him to respond to a post he cannot see since he has that guy set to ignore, but that post was pretty strong spin. While he is right that Sony is being conservative with pushing PS4, they've been that way for a while now unless a big release is coming out. And MS going firesale and bundle crazy has been a constant since 2014. So while the factors he stated were true, they have been true since before the decline this year. And thus framing those things like new factors that relate specifically to this period is disingenuous. These declines aren't disastrous, but they are normal. Great would be a defying of expectations. Oh and Xbox One sales are objectively not great. They weren't great very often before, they really aren't great now. Now let's not further derail the thread with antagonizing people who are not registered here and cannot defend themselves. That tends to get toxic fast. |
That's the point though. These declines are expected and we kept hearing beforehand how PS4 and Xbox 1 are in for a big decline in 2019. Yet here we are where a console at full price still manages to pull 250K in March after 6 years. Despite being down. SilverX post wasn't spin, it was looking at sales comparatively from what it could have been, the PS4 price, and how long it's been on the market.
The "everybody is doing well" was always used anytime PS4 came first and people looked at Switch or Xbox 1 sales negatively. People made post on why Switch sales are still good. Now somebody does it for a different console it's spin? A console war post? Nope.

It’s still not “great”. Great would be if it doesn’t drop at all, or a slight drop. Also, full MSRP would be $400, right? Using that term is weird
Those graphics really show how well the Switch is doing. Best Q1 this gen is really good.

Bold: Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the XB1 decline quite small? I get that you don't think its sales were that great in the first place but I think it's having quite a healthy life this late in the gen. XB1 (March) PS4 is down 29.7% from its peak March but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to emphasize how I think that it "isn't great" for a console to pull 253,000 in the US in its 6th March (maybe Shadow knows how many consoles have had a better 6th March). PS4 (March) |
So in other words, XBO was only somewhat weaker than it's average for last month, but PS4 just had it's worst March.
A pricecut for the PS4 is getting more and more pressing, that is really a huge drop.

Nice! Thank you for the work.

Yeah, Switch is consistently pulling big numbers.

That's another way to look at it, I guess.
It'd be great to see a $100 pricecut for PS4. Still, I look forward to see Shadow's data on how much consoles have sold in their 6th March historically. If selling 253,000 is rare for a console's 6th March, it kinda gives some perspective to that "pressing pricecut", "huge drop", and "worst March".

Why does everybody expect an $100 pricecut? If Sony does a pricecut, then certainly only $50, not $100.
