PS4 is a beast.

 

[viHuGi]

Can't be, consoles don't sell anymore how is it possible?

Great for Playstation, road to 150 milion continues!

 

[madstarr12]

Still a bomb. Dying industry and such...

Spoiler

Glad it did well

 

[FF Seraphim]

That is crazy considering that Best Buy had a 49" tv on sale for $150....

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Good for PS4.
Industry being healthy like this is the best.
Hopefully xbox one sold just about as well too.

[A-V-B]

PS4 is made out of yeast.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Its good that one retailer did good, but there's more than one retailer in the world. PS4 is ded.

 

[zsynqx]

I am assuming this was the cheapest of the PS4 bundles?

 

[xHiryu]

Amazon must of made bank of that tablets this black Friday sheesh

Good to see PS4 selling well, hopefully we get concrete news of the sale of all three consoles. Also there's no reason to not wait for Black Friday to purchase a TV, might buy one next year.

 

[bombshell]

I am assuming this was the cheapest of the PS4 bundles?

Yeah, $299.

The Star Wars Battlefront and Call of Duty Black Ops 3 bundles were more expensive. ($349?)

 

[Bitch Pudding]

That is crazy considering that Best Buy had a 49" tv on sale for $150....

That depends on BB's actual stock of those TVs, I guess.

But other retailers had other offers, like Walmart's additional gift cards for XBOX One. Let's see how that turned out...

 

[1st Course]

wow I thought people stopped buying those 720P only TVs.

 

[Rymuth]

Yep, very weak bundle.

Mistakes were made.

 

[Loris146]

Yeah, $299.

The Star Wars Battlefront and Call of Duty Black Ops 3 bundles were more expensive. ($349?)

SW 349
Cod 429

 

[MastaKilla]

At Target last night I stopped by the video games section and there were no PS4s and no 360s left. Stacks of PS3s and XBones tho.

 

[Taker34]

PS4 is a beast.

Every fucking time.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

They only have like 15-20 of the doorbuster items

 

[Philly40]

PS4 has gone off-piste

 

[bombshell]

Yep, very weak bundle.

Mistakes were made.

 

[CLEEK]

wow I thought people stopped buying those 720P only TVs.

Good purchase to go with a new Xbox One.

 

[Newtype-001]

Mistakes were made.

 

[iceblade997]

Well this is unexpected - especially considering their exclusivity of the Tomb Raider bundle. The NPD results for November are going to be real interesting.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

 

[EthanC]

I am assuming this was the cheapest of the PS4 bundles?

Yep by far. And it was pretty much the only bundle my local Best Buys were pushing. Huge stack of them in the middle of the store and the other bundles relegated to shelves near the games/controllers. They did the something similar with the Xbox Ones. Huge stacks of the Gears bundle and Halo bundle, and the rest were off to the side. Gears bundle was hit hard. Halo bundle pretty much sat untouched. Such a stupid price on that thing.

 

[orochi91]

This doesn't mean much, since Wal-Mart and GameSpot are the deciding factors in whoever comes out on top during BF.

Anyone know whose leading in sales at Wal-Mart and GameStop?

 

[xxracerxx]

Jesus....no wonder PSN was fucking trash yesterday.

They are?

Is this a Gaf meme or something?

I have some bad news to tell you about that Tomb Raider bundle...

 

[Toki767]

I hope you're joking because virtually no one is buying that exclusive bundle.

 

[Gorillaz]

it was a hard sell to people on Thursday at times because many people don't know the series but when they saw the price at my store they said "fuck it" why not

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Can't be, consoles don't sell anymore how is it possible?

Great for Playstation, road to 150 milion continues!

Not a chance, unless they get it to $99 like the PS2 was at the end of it's life.

I've maintained this trajectory, even before launch that it's getting 110-120 million tops.

Is this a Gaf meme or something?

yes.

 

[EthanC]

Jesus....no wonder PSN was fucking trash yesterday.

I'm prepared to not play online games on Christmas again this year on PS4. All those new PS4s coming online are going to melt PSN again. I've got 4 controllers and a copy of Rayman Legends to entertain my nephew and nieces with.

 

[slapnuts]

PS4 officially in Beast Mode for Holiday '15

 

[Kysen]

Real news here is that people are buying 720p tvs.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Is this a Gaf meme or something?

That is that his/her catchphrase any time some positive news about PS4 gets released.

Well this is unexpected - especially considering their exclusivity of the Tomb Raider bundle. The NPD results for November are going to be real interesting.

ROTR bundle is a complete non-factor on any level.

I bought so many co-op games that it isn't even funny. Diablo, Rocket League, Borderlands, plus many indies like Towerfall, etc.

Real news here is that people are buying 720p tvs.

Planning on using that native resolution goodness.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Now everyone will have Uncharted

Spoiler

No one will play the collection

 

[orochi91]

They are?

Yea, it was being discussed in the November predictions thread.

NPD_Mulcair has some good insight on the matter.

Wal-Mart and GameStop are the ones to look at in order to gauge whoever won BF.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

PS4 is a beast.

are you the guy that says this in every thread regarding the PS4? if so you are consistent as hell. I would follow your post history and quote every last one of those comments but I don't have that much time on my hands atm.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

I have some bad news to tell you about that Tomb Raider bundle...

Yeah, we already learned from BB employees that the Tomb Raider bundles didn't exactly fly from the shelves, so to speak.

 

[Kayant]

Jesus....no wonder PSN was fucking trash yesterday.

OfficerRaichu15 and Ryng_Tolu,

The data point of Wii U as the best-selling console on 'Target.com' is irrelevant and doesn't reflect the trends of the broader U.S. Games Industry.

In data reports from The NPD Group, Target.com comprises a very small, almost negligible percentage of the overall dataset.

Target retail stores which do not show a 'Wii U win' in any sense of the term far outweigh their fledgling online services.

It has been reported that online 'Target.com' makes up only 2-3% of total Target sales. And, total Target sales comprise only a minority of the total dataset from The NPD Group.

GameStop and Wal-Mart are by far the most important retailers for The NPD Group's dataset.

Edit - Beaten Aqua did a breakdown at some point before

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Who buys jeans at Wal-Mart?!

 

[bigboss370]

It would be the top seller at all the other retailers too if they tracked digital sales.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Wow. Crazy considering all the other deals there.

 

[orochi91]

[Crimsonclaw111]

Those same plebs buying 720p TVs in 2015.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Damn Yoshida must've been pretty fuckin' busy going around like a madman to buy all those PS4
