Wonder what happened to PS4, was expecting a lot worse

Wonder what happened to PS4, was expecting a lot worse

Why worse?

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Why worse?

It was selling below 10k for the past few months and suddenly it sells 40k without any new release.

It seems like last week rise was because a big Amazon sale.

 

[Azelover]

Switch software domination.

 

[Kenpachii]

Digital included? if not kinda useless.

Also how's the PC market fairing over there?

I find it interesting that the more expensive machine is selling almost twice as well. Not what I expected.

So happy to see Luigi's Mansion continuing to do well, it's been near the top of these lists for quite some time. And LMAO Level-5 having the nerve to release Yo-kai so close to Pokémon, thanks for participating lads.

Glad to see it; I still think the Lite is a terrible, gimped release that removes half the useful features and gives you nothing in return.

Well, it gives you a $100 discount.

 

[Mista]

Well, it gives you a $100 discount.

Not worth it to me

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Sure, but what bothers me is that plenty of consumers will buy this for their kid, thinking it's identical, and later learn that it can't play any of the games that use detached controllers out of the box (also no 2-player out of the box, which means there isn't a real savings at all for most families who will need to immediately come back for $70 joycons for any multiplayer), can't connect to a TV and take advantage of the system's main feature as a hybrid, etc. That's a big change from the product its name will probably evoke for parents--the DS Lite--which didn't remove features, and was legitimately just a redesign. I think they should have called this one something that more clearly reveals it's a feature limited budget version.

Seems people still like the idea of playing on their TVs. That's good.

Or maybe it's the joycon, multiplayer.

Ok, and? What does it matter? We all know it's that time of the year (Black Friday-Cyber Monday + Christmas offers) and also at end of life cycle, so prices will obviously, definitely drop. It's the same everywhere, every time.

Oh, and the Switch had a good discount on Amazon as well, in case you didn't know.
