Nope. I think they won't have one stateside. With UC4 in March, Sony will probably just shift to making that bundle a focus, if there is one.

I truly don't know- what's bigger in the US, SF or UC?

Even if SF is bigger the cost of the bundle to Sony may still favor UC unless it's a big difference

Edit
What am I thinking of course there will be a UC bundle. Just wondering if there will be both

 

[mushrambio]

lmao

noobie's constant mental gymnastics can make any thread hilarious it seems.

I've been crying at my desk because I'm laughing so hard

 

[Darth Smurf X]

Dont you think if after this Sony looses December to XBONE, it will mean they were not prepared well. I dont know how much they supplied but i think no one wants to loose their sales especially during Holiday period because these sales are lost for ever as many people are buying it as gift and they need to have something under the tree. !!!

Just my opinion.

I'm gonna loose my mind if I see you misuse that word again.

How come lose is good/impressive and loose is a bomba?

You know, I'm not actually sure. I think SF4 debuted to >800k in it's launch month. And fighting games probably have a far more dedicated audience then other titles. So I suppose it depends on how much of that base is on PS4 by the time the game launches.

UC will probably debut bigger though. And it's likely to have at least a somewhat premium bundle.

I like the cut of your jib.

 

[slavesnyder]

Uncharted 4 bundle is a given.
Street fighter not so much. A controller would be a nice idea.

His real name is nobie.

 

[Shenmue]

At this point noobie has to know the difference between loose and lose (after a billion people telling him of the mistake), so I'm going to guess he's hunting for some kind of "loose/lose" tag.

Be grateful. English might not be his mother tongue and he is just loost in translation.

 

[Rymuth]

So is this 'PS4+XboxOne sold x amount of units' that Aaron Greenberg tweeted going to be a thing moving forward? Would be the next logical evolution of MAU.

 

[anexanhume]

Ouch, Both 299.99 PS4 bundles out of current stock on Amazon 2 days before the promotional price ends.

Sony has officially loosed.

Spoiler

It's a shame though. I wonder how much Amazon sold? I got the impression November was better than usual for them.

 

[anexanhume]

Yup. For serious though, too bad they weren't able to anticipate demand properly. It's been doing gangbusters.

[DriftingSpirit]

If Sony is selling through almost all of what they can make, then so be it. It is a good problem to have under those circumstances.

That totally depends on how much stock they had. I doubt it stays out of stock for long regardless. Plus isn't the new COD bundle releasing soon?

Street Fighter 4 Vanilla was "bigger" than Uncharted 3

It's already out

I'm sure they could make more. Hell, Wii sold almost 4 million in the US on its third December.

The SW bundle isn't back in stock until Dec 27th according to Amazon's website. December 25th for the uncharted bundle.

 

[slavesnyder]

They should not have dropped the price.

 

[newjeruse]

Is this an Amazon-only problem or is it happening in B+M locations as well?

 

[Plague Doctor]

Anecdotally, I picked up a new tv at a Walmart in the US a couple days back and it seemed like things were stocked as usual. Didn't really look at console hardware though.

Side point: I went from a 6 year old tv to a Vizio M Class.... GAWDDAM THE DIFFERENCE. Screw MAU. In Ultra HD I trust.

 

[anexanhume]

Both bundles seem fine on best buy online. There are several stores in the LA area that are out of uncharted bundles, however. Wal-Mart and Gamestop seem fine online and in-store.

 

[noobie]

Exactly.. Sony partnered with the most anticipated movie of the year and they have shortages of bundles on the day of the release of the movie ... I must say pretty impressive

seems like you all agree with me but you dont want to show your support to my opinion

Oh, even bigger than 3? That's interesting, thanks.

 

[inpHilltr8r]

Amazon will sell at the sale price, but ship later in the month.
Best Buy have the bundle in stock now.

I support your opinion that all forms of lose and loose should henceforth just all be "loose" to ease confusion.

 

[orochi91]

I'm assuming they can't pump out as many PS4s as the Wii did at its peak, simply because it likely costs more and takes longer to manufacture PS4 hardware versus the Wii hardware.

The Wii hardware is no where near as complex and fully featured like PS4 is.

Either way, running out of stock may seem like a good indicator of the console selling well, but it's unfortunate to not have more stock ready during such a critical shopping period.

You're mom's loose.

This whole "Amazon out of stock" thing reminds me of the PS4 OoS-watch threads two years ago.

They just halved the number of RAM chips and it's always been a single APU instead of discrete CPU and GPU. Plus manufacturers can scale much better these days because of insane mobile device and tablet launch ramps.

Indeed. The Wii. The montser which no one can top in it's peak year. Only DS can.

 

[Elandyll]

Seems to be an Amazon prob, I see both UC and BF bundles pretty much everywhere else
In fact Newegg has them both at $299, but the UC bundle has a killer deal: $299 with free Destiny and free PES 2015 it looks like (need to put bundle in cart first to see which titles are the free games)

[Ryng_tolu]

Speaking about Wii, looks like finally XB1 and PS4 are starting to sell more the second year.
This was expected, at least for me, the Wii in 2008 was a totally tank, but the holidays sales, even if insane, weren't THAT insane like in the summer which was selling easy >400k all months, most time between 500k and 800k.
The really insane holidays were in 2009, with the famous "almost 4 million" in December NPD. ( 3,810,000)

Graph update. next month PS4 and XB1 will surpass Wii.

Numbers ( As for November)

WII - 8,001,000
PS4+XB1 - 7,730,000 ( PS4 54%; XB1 46%)

do you guys think we will see another "spend X get back $" in december? /PSN PROMO

 

[theprodigy]

So...what was the biggest 3DS game from April onward? Also, what's the biggest 3DS game for the first 3 months of 2016.

(if Fire Emblem Fates is really the biggest 3DS release of the fiscal year in NA, I will laugh so hard, I have to have forgotten something though)

3DS is done bro. Next is the 6th year... at this point is not even that important.

 

[N.Domixis]

People think that because amazon is out of stock ps4 is doomed!?

Spoiler

lmao, amazon is only a smal percent of the overall market. All the other more important retailers seem fine with stock

 

[CosmicQueso]

I guess theprodigy cares.
So if someone has a better answer than "lol", why not share this information.

Damn.

 

[Y2Kev]

It's just that ps4mania is lose on the public.

 

[Nirolak]

Yeah I'd be surprised if anything was selling on 3DS at this point beyond some legacy software.
