It's also tricky (well.. impossible) to determine a what if.. outcome but they could have been worse off if it wasn't so appealing. Do you want the competition's package to look more appealing? Hell, no
From what i can gather, PS4 + Spiderman is $200 whilst XBOs is $230
From the NPD October 2018 results at ERA:
Red Dead Redemption 2 sales 3x the original: With just nine days of reported sales, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the second best-selling game of October 2018 and is now also the second best-selling game year to date. Red Dead Redemption 2 launch month sales more than tripled those of the previous title in the series, Red Dead Redemption, which launched May 2010.
* Digital sales not included
^ PC digital sales not included

Ah, sorry - I was just comparing Gamestop prices. No wonder PS4 is outselling XBOs with those being the same price.
Battlefield V struggles as Black Friday transforms UK Charts
Glad to see Detroit: Become Human and Forza Horizon 4 doing well.

Switch Black Friday & Cyber Monday Performance
Glad to see Switch is doing good. Hopefully, Sony & Microsoft will release their respective BF/CM console performance PR soon.

Never discount how attractive Nintendo hardware is for holiday gift giving.

Switch is the hot videogame console right now. I have a niece and a nephew who are both asking, and both are getting, a Switch for Christmas. PS4 and X1 have been around since 2013, five years on the market. That is a whole lot of people who have enjoyed those consoles for for years now, but are also intrigued by what Switch has to offer. I would venture to guess that a massive percentage of Switch gamers also own a PS4 or X1. Switch isnt a great replacement for those consoles, but it certainly is a fantastic addition to those consoles.

PS4 Pro sales ratio remains relatively stable at 20% LTD, and 40% of them were upgraders. So on average 8% of unit sales have been uppgraders since nov 2016. It also means they sell 4M pros per year.

Yeah the CTO said practically the same thing in 2014 or 2015. Then the Pro was announced. Apparently the ease of specs upgrade from x86 was the change that made this a taste of things to come.
I guess next gen is sure to get a mid-gen too...
Necessary evolution of a generation also suggests to me that BC is going to be considered necessary too. Sony aren't going to want a clean reset for all their fanbase with extensive libraries, and PS4 Pro shows PS4 owners are happy to have their PS4 games improved (just not willing to pay for it medgen, but happy for it next-gen). Given no disruptive tech on the horizon warranting a completely architecture break, at this point I think BC is a shoe-in for PS5.
Probability is looking real good that it will be there. It can be debated as to when it will arrive (at launch or after), but i'm fairly confident that it will arrive.

Interesting, only 1 of the top 10 games is only single player. GTA V is mainly a multiplayer game now. Probably the same for Minecraft.
In the top 20, 2 more single player only games added, and one of them might only be there because the free 1st episode is included in the those numbers.
Basically, the most popular games on PS4 from a player perspective (not sales) appear to be multiplayer games. Not surprising as they keep the players engaged.
I imagine this is the effect of used games and loaned games? Hence why it is divergent from the PS4 top games sold? If so, this kind of indicates that the used/loaned game market is much larger for multiplayer games than for single player games.
However, I have to question its relevance if God of War (2018) isn't even in the list? You would think that would be one of the first games they'd try to scrape trophy data for. Detroit from a similar release time frame is in the list after all, so it's not a release timing issue, and RDR2 is already in the list. COD: Ghosts in there, but the more popular COD: Infinite Warfare isn't?

I don't think they've added/scrapped the data for all the games? I didn't see notable titles that one would expect to show up.
