My first thought is if he bought them all on a Sony Rewards card, and then resold the systems, that's like 3 or 4 free $60 games in rewards points. You get a higher reward point multiplier on Sony products, I think 10x?

Selling over 20 PS4's just to get 3 or 4 games for free? Sounds like a pain in the ass.

I agree. I'm going to make a completely random guess on this, but I think that the guy probably got them as gifts, maybe for a company?

The $200 Black Friday deal sold out pretty much everywhere. You might've seen PS4s that were priced differently.
In Houston only 1 store had any PS4s left at that price, and that was way out on the suburbs.
This is news only in how the PS4's BF sale compared to the similarly priced XB1 bundle.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
I wounder if the success of this years recently Black Friday will there be another one in a calendar year. Why limit it to one weekend only?

I purchased one the day after that price went live. $200 is a lot of people's sweet spot, especially when it's not some worst of show ultra crappy Xbox Arcade version.
I imagine the plan is to have the games as a bonus and to make money by waiting until the sale ends and the price goes up. Or waiting to Christmas when supplies get low and now he can charge stupid prices to desperate people. I'm not a scalper, but that's what I would do. The games would be the icing on the cake, not the entire point.

I considered this as well. While it's certainly possible he's buying them to scalp, he could very well be buying them as gifts or to donate to charity.

Not quite, that actually says 300,000 consoles not 300,000 PlayStation 4s.
Yeah, don't worry, I'm not criticising or anything. After reading what you said and then reading the article I had to read it twice just to make sure what i was reading.

It has been weird watching this Switch phenomenon. Here in Finland they have no marketing, I doubt they sell any consoles because they are always available, their game stand in stores is maybe 1/5 the size of a PS section. I wonder if its the same thing in other countries here in Northern Europe.
Playsation 4 and XBox One are always available in game stores i go to in the UK, that doesn't make me conclude that they must not sell any....
I'm sure though that in a continent with around 50 countries there will be some where Switch doesn't sell very well. The question that's more important is does it sell well in the countries that matter most in terms of sales (like UK, Germany or France).

Apparently the Switch outsold the PS4 and Xbox online throughout the Thanksgiving weekend.

That makes sense for PS4 since it was sold out before Black Friday.

According to this it also outsold it before Thanksgiving as well (at least online it did).

You know you can keep reading past the first slide.
You are a ninty fantroll.
Ps4 Will be the most sold console for the March 17- march 18 FY and everyone not thinking that way is truly in denial. This is especially impressive when you account that ps4 is 4 years old while switch is brand new And is selling to their hadcore audience atm.
Switch's real test Will be next year

We get it man. You like Xbox.
I see you in every Xbox post cheering on your favorite team and only come to Sony threads to contribute high quality posts such as this one.

I feel you on that and his comment is definitely unnecessarily argumentative, but its something that comes from all fans, including the gentleman that dismissed me as a ninty fan troll despite the fact that Ive owned every console since NES minus Neo-Geo.
I think there is a general feeling on the board that scoffs at many Pro-MS, Pro-Nintendo or Anti-Sony threads. But apparently Im just a Ninty Troll.
