There where a Benji or something here that worked at Gamestop and had some "hints" for us from time to time.

The deal is real good, so yeah, I should sell really well.
Now selling more than the last several months combined means it had really slowed down before.
Seriously Sony, get it a permanent price cut already, it needs it, there are lots of people that still want it, but $300 is too much in 2020.

Sony stated early in the year that they would be focusing on hardware profit over market expansion. So I don't think we will see them dropping the price anytime soon. 

IMO, this is a short sighted strategy. The real profit is in services and software, which requires getting the hardware in more hands.

At any rate, if this information is true, that is great news for PS4. If it is still selling this well at this point, with PS5 already being discussed by Sony for most of the year, then it just shows how strong the system is. If it continues to surpass expectations, then more people might have to come to terms with the possibility that it may just end up reaching or surpassing PS2 when it is all said and done. 

I would love to see a hint about how PSVR is doing as well. It is a bit slow on hype with Iron Man slipping into next year. I'm curious if Astrobot, Blood and Truth, Everybody's Golf VR, and some of the back catalog, along with the $199.99 + 5 Games bundle will be enough to help it move some decent numbers?



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

According to him, no.

But BenVTrigger used to have some sales insights too right?



Signature goes here!

PS4 should be 500-550k from August to October. We have not official numbers but estimate puts PS4 <550k.

The PS4 should have November sales similar to last year (so 1.3-1.4m units). Sony puts a cap on how many bundles are sold and their downward revision of PS4 shipments for the current fiscal year does not suggest an increase in the number of PS4s available for Black Friday deals.

Also worth noting: Benji speaks in the context of consoles sold at Gamestops across the USA, so the ratio of the sales he's seeing is probably not the same as across all US retailers combined. But in any case, expect November sales to be similar to last year.

Last November had the Cyber monday included, this year it won't. Because of that, general November sales should be weaker than last year, including PS4 sales.

I can see over 1 million but should be well under last year 1.48 million

If PS4 sell big just think how well Switch will sell, it's gonna be massive

I'm not aware of what deals there are for Switch, but I'm sure there will be a sales thread about that as well, as it's sure to sell a lot.
So it would be appreciated if in this thread you could at least discuss the platform at hand.
Otherwise it may look like a back-handed compliment like "Nice sales that will be completely overshadowed by the sales of this other system."


Note to other users in this thread; Please do not jump on that post just to remind them of what I just said, since it has been addressed.

I agree, and I really hope that everyone will honor this for any topic that is platform specific.
