If you dont buy one now good luck getting one on BF
Could Sony make an other shipment before Black Friday?

The Minecraft XBox is so low on Amazon rankings. I guess, part of this is because people don't think they need to buy now before it's sold out. But it also shows that it's a weak offer

So

Not kidding. Spyro on PS4 is probably going to outsell FO 76 on PS4 in units unless 76 has some sort of crazy digital share.
Awesome, Spyro is looking great (still looking for a moment to pick it up, though), so I'm glad it's doing so well (also glad that Fallout 76 isn't being rewarded for launching broken - although I have to admit that my main gripe with it is that it's taking away development time from TESVI, either directly or indirectly).

Not shocked it's not gonna outsell sun and moon since that would make it the biggest launch month for a Nintendo game ever. Seems like it won't dissapoint in sales.

So Let's Go is going to do really well overall.

Significantly outsold the other new releases this week as well as a nice (but not crazy) boost to Switch hardware.

Launch is far below the other juggernauts this year in COD and RDR2 but that's to be expected. So overall a very healthy launch
Whether good news or bad news, I appreciate what you do. Thank you

Hey Benji, any updates on the Switch bundles for Diablo/Pokemon/Smash? Do you know if stores will be getting more shipments of those throughout the holiday or if it was a one and done kind of deal?

It seems the 199 spider Man bundle was sold out in Amazon...

Yup, that didn't last long.

Looking back at the demand for PS4 at 299 this is not a surprise at all. Benji can ask you if you have any info about the customer who bought Pokemon? For example if more parents are buying the Switch with Pokemon for their kids.

The Minecraft Xbox One bundle is so low on Amazon rankings. I guess, part of this is because people don't think they need to buy now before it's sold out. But it also shows that it is a weak offer.

Could also be that this is the first year this generation that the PlayStation 4 is not only on par with the Black Friday price for an Xbox One, but is a vastly better deal full stop.

I personally believe that Microsoft has put out more choice and — most importantly — cheaper bundles/offers than Sony has in the past four Black Friday's, right up until this year.

I knew that those Spider-Man bundles would go quickly, but not this quick!

When they eventually run out, what is the alternative for folks looking to buy a PlayStation 4?

Hmmm...i don't think the PS4 bundle have a higher stock compared to last year in amazon in particular.
Last year it sold out in a couple days while now in a couple hours!

With last weeks and today insights that Benji gave us, and point that Black Friday MK8D Switch bundle yet to start selling,
I expecting that November will be easily YOY compared to last years November when sold around 800k (I expecting at least 1m).

PS4 at $199 has so much life / demand its unreal. Saw it last year and seeing it again already this year

Last year, it was my first time going to a Black Friday on USA. I've never seen so many people with PS4 on their carts in my life, and people keep asking where they were on the store and getting mad when they find out it was sold out. There were people hunting un-attended carts with PS4 on them to steal them lol

The fornite bundles for swith and xbox aren't in the amazon charts. I wonder if that means fornite isn't really pushing systems since its a free game and other bundels are more attractive.

Still feels awesome to read that basically everything is doing good or better than expected. Such a turnaround compared to a few years ago where consoles were called dead.

A fortnite bundle is so stupid.

Literal waste of money.

Get a bundle with an actual videogame that costs money. Don't get a bundle with a game that is free.

You gotta have like 3 braincells to go for the Fortnite bundle, lol.

Not being saved. Just even with the stock Sony are nowhere near meeting demand.

Whew lawd.

Some stock is always saved for BF as doorbusters afaik.
Yeah, they would basically have to.
