Looks like Court was right, GOW ragnarok wasn't a system seller after all

"The Xbox Series X|S came in second place with sales not too far behind the Switch. Sales for the Xbox Series X|S consoles were up 105 percent month-on-month driven by a £60 price discount during Black Friday.

The PlayStation 5 came in third place with sales up 71 percent month-on-month. This was driven by the release of God of War: Ragnarök as the bundle including the game accounted for 38 percent of all PS5's sold during November."

People buy shyt that's on sale during black friday....

And GoW:R being included/purchased with a 3rd of all PS5 purchases, but no, it's not a system seller.

Simple: PS5s are in high demand and short supply.

nah that doesn’t fly here…PS5s were readily available ALL last month…it’s not up for debate…the only dilemma was whether or not ppl wanted to pay extra for a bundled game they may not have wanted

ultimately these numbers don’t mean anything but it’s still a little surprising to see imo

this makes the most sense…the series S being as low as $200 with discounts probably makes up the bulk of the sales on the xbox side of things

Supply is still strained for both consoles.
I've come across XBOX Series X's on shelves but have yet to see a PS5 on a shelf.
That's not a real indication of much, just what's happening in my local area.
I did manage to get a PS5 next day pick up for my a friend though so stock is definitely picking up.
It's just no where near the level of stopping by on a random day with confidence that a store will have one yet.

Man please. You could go into any store and see multiple Series Lesses. Not the case with PS5.

The vast majority of people who buy PS5's aren't buying it for the exclusives :manny:
