To achieve this result, the e-commerce company focused its efforts on the customer, understanding what its consumers wanted. The initiative improved stock preparation and highlighted the most sought-after categories. The highlight of the year was the PlayStation 5. The item was one of the most requested among ninjas. E-commerce sold the equivalent of the height of ten Eiffel Towers during the four days of Black Friday and in advance of Cyber Monday (last Sunday). In addition, the other top-selling products were: SSD, power supply, VGA, monitor, case, video game, watercooler, processor, robot vacuum cleaner and chair.

So they sold about 7,670 PS5's all up. That is quite impressive considering more than half the population isnt able to afford bread.

 

[Unknown?]

30k from one retailer? Impressive because I know PS5s are expensive in Brazil.

 

[Hudo]

How many Big Bens is that?

Not as expensive as the Series S.

 

[Ronin_7]

Crazy lol

Probably 100K+ PlayStation 5 SOLD in Brazil last week.

 

[Katatonic]

Damn Sony leaving no loose ends.

 

[tommib]

The Series S costs as much as a PS5:

Xbox Series S Gets Big Price Hike in at Least One Region

The Xbox Series S, the cheaper alternative to the Xbox Series X, is about to become less so, as Microsoft announces a sizable price hike.

Least shocking news of the day.

I know a lot of ppl here that lives in a "shack" and have a Oled TV + Ps5/Xbox, thats called priorities.

Sure... Every slum dweller is just a lazy leftist, right?

No problem, i just dont know wtf are u talkig about, i just commented that poor people do whatever with their money and that a lot of ppl here that are poor like to have shit to enjoy life, didnt mean to imply any polítics on my comment, said that, can u share why my comment triggered you so much ?

 

[ReBurn]

Did they measure them standing up or using the new horizontal stand?

 

[Roni]

I didn't know quoting someone was known as being triggered.

 

[envyzeal]

As a brazilian I am ashamed that they didn't measure that by using football stadiums.

 

[Lokaum D+]

You are all hostile about my comment, its like u didnt make the L today, are you good ?

 

[DarthPutin]

height of ten Eiffel Towers

Z O_O /. Cool, but scary image to be honest

As for the people in shacks buying luxury goods, I don't know how it is exactly in Brazil (was there only once), but with some places people can afford expensive car and many luxury items but only like a tiny room in the middle of nowhere, because prices for property are just incomparable to anything else.

 

[Roni]

You are all hostile about my comment, its like u didnt make the L today, are you good ?

There was nothing hostile about my post, guess I wasn't the triggered one after all... I'm sorry some words made you feel attacked.

 

[balls of snow]

When everyone plays, we all win.
For real this time.

 

[NonPhixion]

Why is that Roni guy so triggered about the lazy left? Geeez calm down.

 

[theStartupSound]

Way too late, but I don’t care … wait for it:
So, 5 of these gross looking white giants?

 

[K' Dash]

They should've bought a PC and save money on games like Spiderman and Horizon.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

MS losing one of the few countries that they were kind of recovering early this generation.
30k from a single retailer in 3 days in Brazil is...crazy.

 

[Aion002]

We can because we all can create electricity out of our orange fur and green skins... That's how we save money for gaming.

"cinematic" gameplay > sustenance

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Double Decker buses is surely the measure of record?

You were the one talking about " all poor ppl are lazy leftist bla bla bla" out of nowhere, i just got confused, happy that i didnt hurt your feelings or something.

"The item was one of the most requested among ninjas."

 

[Hugare]

People bickering over politics in a thread like this tells a lot about how fucking dreadful the discussion has been here in Brazil

Anyway, impressive number considering its only one seller

Xbox was strong-ish during the 360 era around here due to piracy. They could have retained momentum with the Xbox One, but well, Xbox One shit the bed and MS arent really doing much to change course with Series S/X

The Series S price increase was the final nail in the coffin

 

[kyussman]

In other news the amount of Xbox's sold reached the height of a modestly sized dog kennel.

 

[Toots]

I really thought that a brazilian e-commerce shop build limited editions ps5 with an Eiffel tower flair/theme which cost 30K$ + the price of a PS5 and they managed to sold 10 of those.
I was getting real mad that OP did not include pictures of thoses "masterpieces" in his post before understanding what all of this was really about

 

[jroc74]

This is one of the funniest gifs I've ever seen, my god.

 

[Pelta88]

This is one of the funniest gifs I've ever seen, my god.

It brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it. It's an audition of some sort. I can't find the original, but the audio is also comedic gold.

 

[Spitfire098]

Let poor people do whatever the fuck they want with their money.

Poor people are not allowed to have fun...

 

[GHG]

Let poor people do whatever the fuck they want with their money.

Might as well let them enjoy their lives whatever way they can.

Attempting to gatekeep what other people (rich or poor) do with their cash is something I'll never understand. Stay in your lane.

I was confused too, strange comment out of nowhere hah. Native English speaker here.

I don't understand the correlation of leftists and wanting to own tv's and consoles.

 

[DrFigs]

In English doc

 

[Gaelyon]

I know a lot of ppl here that lives in a "shack" and have a Oled TV + Ps5/Xbox, thats called priorities.

Well I known really rich dudes that lives in a mansion with huge swimming pool and shit, and they don't even have a single PS5. Ha !

Yeah, it seemed to me that he got but hurted but i really didnt understand why, native portuguese speaker here btw

Yeah, rich ppl have a lot of other ways to enjoy life that poor ppl ll never expirience, nowadays consoles, tvs, smartphones ( eletronics in general ) are the common way for common ppl to enjoy life.

 

[kaizenkko]

Just to clarify some confusion about the "ninja" term: here in Brazil ninjutsu is a obligatory discipline in schools since 2010, and because of that people use to call the young ones of "ninjas".

Most of my most memorable gaming moments back in Brazil happened in modest places.

Can relate 100%.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Where’s that Don Mattrick GIF when it’s needed?

 

[MasterDerico]

People still think Brazil is the Blanka stage from SF2.
We are the most rich country in natural resources in the world.
Cities and landscapes are beautiful!

Slums, poverty we have in ALL countries.
The real issue here are the corrupt politicians.

 

[GrayDock]

They should have measured it with Christ Redeemers...

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Reading this topic is odd.

Brazil has its issues but there's A LOT of people with money in there. The country has literally over 210 million people living in it. PS5 selling 30k in 3 days with discounts is not weird in any way.

Some of these comments are totally unnecessary.
