Wouldnt be suprised to see a bunch like MGS5 or Until Dawn bundles by then as well.
PS4 gets a new, lower price starting Friday: $349.99
- Thread starter Blablurn
- Start date
If I was Sony, I'd make two BF bundles:
$349: Bloodborne (with DLC code) + Until Dawn + 12 months PS+
$349: Tearaway + LBP3 + 12 months PS+
/shrug
There will probably also be retailer bundles with a $50 gift card thrown in I guess.

Welp, I'm going to be grabbing a XB1 and PS4 on black friday. Just to play remastered games.
They don't need exclusives this holiday they have every major Shooter bundle for this holiday
COD/Destiny/Star Wars
I wouldn't want to put out an exclusive in that crowded market either
Debut month in the US only.
600k are the first month debut numbers from NPD, it definitely sold more since then, you're correct in that people calculated the game to have sold ~5 million LTD.
I don't know where you got the 1m first week from.
LOL, You said exactly what I was thinking.
Seems people don't know how this works.
MS is going to have to be cheaper to close US gap. Both systems will sell shit tons at 349 but not like last holiday.
MS needs to be really cheap in Europe. They need to eat the profits to sell the console. Ir feela like MS is just going ride it out and hope the next console sells better in Europe but damage ia probably done if they dont regain sales

Do note that the 5 million increase cannot be attributed to Halo MCC.
The number also includes repeat sales of older games, Halo Wars, and other Halo game related sales etc...
I not too worried about Canadian pricing, even at 449.99 the CAD bundle more times than not came with 2 games at that price. Though I'd have liked to have seen a return to 399.99 + Game, it has been on sale PLENTY of times at US MSRP and even less (with GCs + SDM points).
Bring on the sales Canada, 399.99 Last of US + Uncharted bundle and I'm in.

Let's not forgot about the Spartan Strike/smaller spin off games either
I'm hoping for a Bloodborne + MGSV or Uncharted 4 bundle.

Our fucking government has lead us right into a recession and lied about it. How fucking delusional are you? Typical cluless canadian response, burring their heads in the sand.
Please do the country a favour and don't fucking vote next week.
Edit: Price drop is great for the US!

Exactly and for those using the dollar exchange as an excuse, how did Microsoft respond to the falling Loonie? What about Nintendo? Did the prices of their consoles increase? Did the PS3 get a price increase? Honest questions, I have no idea; I don't usually follow console stuff.
Truth, it's all about OIL.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
It finally got a price drop! Maybe this will make it easier for my friend and nephew to get a PS4 now. lol at Canada when early adopting the system was actually a benefit price wise.

Hope this gives incentive to jump into this generation, both consoles now a little more affordable (states side) now you just have to figure out what kind of games attracts you more. Unless you ballin out of control and can afford both

Halo 5 is only a week, no?

It will be interesting to see Black Friday deals and what not.
I think something like the Uncharted Collection with The Last of Us Remastered Digitally with a $50 gift card for $349.99 would be great.

Yeh sorry, I was trying to think of Spartan Strike but ended up just putting down Halo Wars because I couldn't remember the name haha.

It'll also be strongly front-loaded. Because it's Halo, it'll have legs, but it'll still open crazy well.

Yeah, I think it is only 5 or 6 days.
Halo 5 will sell really well but I do not think it will move enough hardware to counter the sales the PS4 racks up over the rest of this month.
I wouldn't be so sure with the PS4 price cut hitting since the first week of the tracking period.
Depends on when MS reacts.

What does this mean? Sony is fighting the war on terrorism, they're selling consoles.
Maybe I shouldn't have revised my forecast down and just stuck with the original prediction I made in January.
Hi Zhuge.
Since you are one of the best, if not the best predictor i ever seen, what do you think about my predictions?
I agree about the total 36.1 million, but i have a worse Q2 and a better Q3.
I personally predict 3 million in Q2 ( Down YOY a bit since last year was the Destiny quarter), and 7.8 million in Q3 for a total of 36.1 million PS4 shipped.

Or did the gaffes of MCC generate enough bad blood that a lot of fans swore off the series (or at least 343i)? PS4 doesn't really have any big titles coming out this month though. And XB got the Fallout4 bundle in Nov.
I'd say 2nd week (and on) Halo sales, Fallout4 and whatever BF deals give November to team Xbox.

Yeap I know but I don't think it will sell hardware enough to counter 3 weeks of PS4 price cut sales.

The "fucking government" has nothing to do with the exchange rate.
Do people not remember what the PS3 and 360 cost at launch here? It was weak before Harper came in and only went up because of the price of oil.
Its a price cut.
It was already selling like hot cakes, now it will sell like a stack of them made with blueberries.
Seriously, it was time.
I own a stack of those. I'm tempted to buy another.

But that was my point. He asked if a Destiny bundle was mentioned - it wasn't. Sony gave us a clear chart, it was easy to see what was mentioned or not. If there is a Destiny bundle, will it get a price based off the new discount? Of course. But it wasn't mentioned.

Hmm I think Halo 5 will be the game to bring in a lot of people holding onto their 360.
That combined with the ridiculous attach rate MS has for Halo means a straight forward
October win for them.

Last year XBOX burst through most of the gap PS4 had opened in just two months, they know they can't let that happen again, albeit it possibly will, depends to what extent.
Thanks for the kind words
The reason I originally had Q2 at 3.4m (then revised down to 3.2m) is because I thought that would be the most likely time we would see a price cut. The price cut has now taken place (pretty much worldwide) during the first week of October and so I believe the price cut combined with new 1200 models will increase Q2 shipments to cater for this price cut at the beginning of Q3 and so that there is adequate stock in channel for October.
Therefore I would say that we should see around 3 million if not more this quarter to account for the upcoming immediate spike in sales.
That's not to say that Q3 won't be high. But I do think we're more likely to see Q2 at or over 3m. So yeh, it's good.
If Q2 is lower than 3 million then I certainly expect Q3 to be higher than 7.5m

Nope, but how did other consumer electronics manufacturers respond to the falling CDN dollar? Did the price of WiiUs, Xbox Ones and PS3s go up as well?
