It's not looking good for the pro. Too much too soon?

Sony might lose Nov too.

Come on now. They won't do that.

PRO IS D0MED!!!!!!!!!!!

The Neo will sell a couple hundred thousand, but with Nov and Black Friday that's not even close to enough to guarantee victory.

As long as MS has good discounts like the last two years they have a shot.

I think a Advanced Warfare + Modern Warfare bundle will help the PS4 sell a lot for the holiday season. We see that the Black Ops III bundle is still trucking along. Releasing a bundle that not only has one, but two COD games will likely sell even better.

Neo launch, cod bundles and slim black Fridays sales. It's pretty much in the bag.

PS4 Slim already ot of the top 40 and while both together are most likely outselling it, neither the Slim with UC4 nor the BO3 bundle can beat the X1 S on their own at the moment.

Amazing performance... the Slim is just too expensive compared to what the Pro offers

Slim was out of stock but now it's back in stock.

Hmm, ok didn't know that. Let's see what it looks like tomorrow.

Btw. you have to be really bad with money, you have negative cash in your wallet.

Maybe it's how it is being marketed?

I've heard people saying the Xbox s and ps4 pro are the same power. I figured the 4K/HDR marketing would help Xbox s.

I keep getting caught by the police.

The Pro is definitely slowing down PS4 Slim sales. The Pro is priced very good, only a few months ago a 1TB PS4 OG cost the same as a Pro.

Yep, slim should have been cheaper in my opinion.
People think the Xbox s and pro are the same which makes the slim seem pointless (marketing wise).  It needs a low price point to compete regardless if in reality it's more powerful than the Xbox one s. MS marketing smartly makes it seem as though it's not.

I agree with you on some points. MS will market the S like it's the Pro but it's Sony's job to counter that with their own marketing. Sony could say stuff like 'twice as powerful ' and 'only console that can do 4k gaming' etc. They need to get the message across that this is far better than the s.

They also can advertise both consoles in the same advert and imagine an advert for Cod and at the end 'play in 4k only on PS4 Pro'.

The Pro will be a big part of Sony's advertising campaign but the Slim will be used for promotional price cuts this holiday. With the Slim Sony can undercut the S a good chunk in price if need be but Sony this gen have stuck to their own gameplan and not had any knee jerk reactions. I cringe when I see people on forums calling for a price cut when years of trends show that the PS4 outsells the One priced $50 more. What do they expect to happen when they are priced the same?

The only thing stalling the Slims sales is the Pro but Sony are happy to let that happen and PS4 will still probably win this months NPD. Sony are in a good place.
