Europe especially got better deals, so there's that too
No COD bundle in sight.PS4 Slim U4 bundle will be for $249 between december 11 - 24.

Bizarre.
the ps4 slim uncharted bundle was $269 the whole december on amazon.Looks like Amazon is anticipating the drop (or price matching a retailer) by adjusting their price a bit downward already : $269.
Ryng told me the ban is perma. Sorry.
yea it is possible it could be down in US and up considering worldwide

The benefit of having just 1 mass produced SKU is obvious right now too for large volumes: the 2 most popular XB1S bundles have been sold out for days now, but the PS4 Slim keeps on chugging (Amazon, but anecdotally speaking the last two Walmarts I went to were sold out of both PS4/PS4S and XB1S, but had loads of og XB1 bundles).

Oh my.[PS4] 800K

RDR2 bundles as well.CoD is lost this year, basically. UC4 bundle at a lower price point yields a higher profit margin anyway. I've noticed a trend between Sony & MS and how they seem to exchange heavier marketing focus on the holidays between the years. MS dominated in holiday '14 and are doing extremely well this year, with all the deals they whipped up with 3rd parties as well as their own offerings. Sony dominated in 2015 & are set do the same in 2017 with all of their end of year deals they've signed as well.
We'll most likely see a Destiny 2 bundle next year be one of the larger adoption drivers. And if that doesn't work, Sony will have the CoD & Battlefront 2 deals to fall back on.
If RDR2 doesn't get delayed they'll have that as well. I can see why the didn't really push with a cod bundle this year because as you said they have some big partnerships next year if all falls in place.CoD is lost this year, basically.

RDR2 bundles as well.
Agreed.Yup, exactly my point. Sony has everything lined up next year. This year, Sony seemed focused to get through the holidays by dumping hardware on the market. Personally, I didn't think dropping VR & Pro in the same quarter was a sound decision, but they both had to be released, and I imagine several market tests showed that they were both going to be niche audiences outside of launch.
Focus on hardware now, get the Slim sales high, then lead into your big marketing year - that seems to have been their gameplan right now.
It could also be that centralization on BF worldwide has become so massive as to leave the rest of the month considerably weaker, and so you can still get an annual increase on BF (in the US and WW) and still see a drop for the entire month.
Too late???sony will not bring a CoD bundle to the us this year. it's already to late. last year the bundle was released 15th december and the bundle showed up on amazon even some days earlier.
they announced the new price today. a possible new holiday bundle would be mentioned the same time
i do think that's smart from sony at this point. infintiy warfare is the call of duty with the worst performance and reception in years, or arguably ever.
sony has a great exclusive lineup in february. we will see new bundles that time around. i'm fairly certain about that
While for US PS4 can be down or up in the same proportion of chances... I believe WW it is pretty sure up in November.It could also be that centralization on BF worldwide has become so massive as to leave the rest of the month considerably weaker, and so you can still get an annual increase on BF (in the US and WW) and still see a drop for the entire month.

Well, even just looking at it broadly, I don't think there has ever been a gap that big between the two in a single month. That doesn't mean it is impossible, of course, but quite unlikely.I don't really know much besides the deals, why do you guys think my prediction is off base?
Too late???
While I'm not in disagree with you about the possibility of the CoD bundle... the fact is last year it was announced for the second week of December... so it is not too late... it can be announced until early next week and be in sync with last year bundle announce.
To announce... not to ship... they can start to ship way before the announce... when they do the announce the bundle is already in the retail to be sold.not to late to release the bundle, but to late to announce and ship the bundle for this holiday.
yes you need at least 2 weeks prior to christmas. that would be next week thuesday the 13th december.
but at this point retailer would already know. and there are no words or rumors about a cod bundle.
as i said last year the bundle leaked on amazon a week earlier
and they already announced the pricecut for december with only showing the uc bundle
PS4 Slim alone possible sold more than 800k.I don't really know much besides the deals, why do you guys think my prediction is off base?
so 500gb ps4 slim bundle +12 months ps+ for $269? bomba!amazon had that gamestop promo but with a 269$ price tag while supplies lasted
No COD bundle in sight.
Bizarre.
Oh wow. I really had no idea what I was talking about. Sorry guys. Btw can I get a source about ps4 slim sales? I really didn't think it would sell so well.PS4 Slim alone possible sold more than 800k.
Now include Pro.
That is why they are joking about you. Last year Sony sold over 1500k PS4s and you think it will be down close to 50% this year.
Of course... it is your prediction but that didn't hold people to joke over you
PS. PS4 possible sold near 800k in BF alone
PS. PS4 possible sold near 800k in BF alone
Close I mean 600-700k for BF not including CM.Now, you mean Black Friday week, not Black Friday alone, right? But still, isn't that a little too much, given that apparently the PS4 sold like crazy on Cyber Monday as well (which is not part of the BF week)?
Close I mean 600-700k for BF not including CM.
Last year it did over 800k at BF, no?
I don't have data but I believe (or guess) 60% of November sales happens in Black Friday.Don't know, all I know is they sold more than 1,5mn consoles last November (excl. CM), So 800k for a single day seemes to be odd, even if we get signals that Sony's about to repeat last year's outstanding result (2014 they sold 800k in November).
Even 70%.I don't have data but I believe (or guess) 60% of November sales happens in Black Friday.
What if Sony released PR today to deflate an NPD win for Xbox tomorrow
sarcasm level is max
You do know we have some hardcore freaks on twitter saying exactly that, right?What if Sony released PR today to deflate an NPD win for Xbox tomorrow

Well if it was a 44m milestone or some weird number ok but Sony is announcing every 10k milestone since begin of the gen.Please don't do that. The fact that people actually believe that makes me sad.
Yeap... BF is really that big deal for November.Even 70%.
Welfare made a good post about it last year IIRC.
So far, afaik, we have 4 info sources for November and BF.Oh wow. I really had no idea what I was talking about. Sorry guys. Btw can I get a source about ps4 slim sales? I really didn't think it would sell so well.
And it is funny.You do know we have some hardcore freaks on twitter saying exactly that, right?
Even a bad COD is still a COD.sony will not bring a CoD bundle to the us this year. it's already to late. last year the bundle was released 15th december and the bundle showed up on amazon even some days earlier.
