What is the difference in units between #100 and #20-30 on the Amazon top sellers list? Cite your sources.Yeah this was the post I called out. You're clueless.
The Forza bundle was never touching the PS5, ever. The past two months have had it outside of or just nearly in the top 100 on Amazon. The moment the $499 X comes in, it significantly outperforms the bundle and shoots up to where the PS5 is.
I don't know how to tell you this without just repeating everything I said in the last post, but the bundle is, your gonna want to clean your eyes for this one, not desirable.
The Series S likewise is not desirable.
You know what is? The $499 Series X. The demand for those two other products have no fucking bearing on the $499 X OTHERWISE it would perform the exact same as those two. Flops.
You're just ignoring reality. #20-30 is not "marginally better" than #100 on a top sellers list.
You really would do better, in life, not just in this argument, if you swallowed your pride and educated yourself about basic demand and supply concepts like these.
It's really simple. At a $550 price point there is weak demand for the XSX. Forza can have negative value in potential consumers' eyes and this is still a statement of fact. When the standalone is in stock for $499, this SKU becomes superior value for all those consumers who value Forza at anything less than $50. Sales for those consumers transfer over from the bundle to the standalone.
If there was elevated interest in the XSX in a shortage scenario, you would see consumers bidding up the price (effectively represented by the bundle price points). That phenomenon is absent with the XSX.
A market supply and demand curve is made up of all the individual consumers' demands at different prices for the product. As the price goes down, consumers who value the product less or don't have the money to pay more are willing to purchase it. This is not an increase in demand but an increase in quantity demanded.
What you're seeing with Xbox is excess supply. The price point is above the equilibrium, and to move it to equilibrium, which will increase sales, they need to lower the price.
