No, you made a pretty dumb claim, don't get all high-horsey when people call you out on it.

I've said this before, but go check out the view counts on youtube for Infamous and compare them to Titanfall. Infamous's highest viewed vids has over a million more views.
I just think people want to keep it real
by the way...I apologize for calling you an idiot, if that even matters to you
Peace

10. Bravely Default (3DS)
So you're not going to provide a single quote from the "countless" people who supposedly claimed the PS4 had the US on lock?
Shameful.

Nope, I'm not defensive at all. I buy every system, PS4, X1, Wii U.
I just prefer accuracy.
I wonder how hard it is to still get a PS4 in most places? They are mostly in stock in my area (though not stockpiled like xbones). Either way impressive for both PS4 and xbone. I think its easy to say TF will single-handedly win March for xbone..after that who knows, Im expecting alot of parity in sales till the Fall.
And Wii U..I dont know what to think anymore..I just want the thing to survive long enough to get a new legit Zelda.

You can't prove shit.
(brb, erasing VK3 trophies)
Nah, I can't stand JRPGs. Even P4G got boring after 20-30 hours. VK3 is not a good game, but at least I can press a button to twat things with my sword.
reading gaf everyday i'd expect saturn vs ps1 or dreamcast vs ps2 type numbers.

"hardware is much higher that people were predicting"
*Wii U still sells way less than 8 year old consoles*
How can you brag with those numbers?

I mean they aren't good (yeah Apophosis install base blah blah), but they aren't terrible either. This is Wii U's last relevant game for essentially 3 months.

thanks. It's under 1 million so i still stand by my comments. Again i could be wrong but we will see.
Apophis, stop yourself before you hurt yourself.

see, this is why combining multiplats is lame, we could've seen Bravely Default at #2 instead of #10
I do think in general the Xbox 360 made a lot more inroads among younger and family inroads than the PS3 in the US, so following the same brand lines wouldn't overly surprise me.
Do you live in New Zealand or Finland?

Consider this
Xbox one had more exclusives and more bigger games at launch than ps3, it also got titanfall in mid march. Ps4 is getting 2 games in 2 weeks in a row . One is zeroes which is miles ahead in sales at amazon for ps4 compared to xbox one version and the only big exclusive after killzone. So consider this. Ps4 fans have had 1 big exclusive since launch. Xbox one had 3. That might make infamous a kind of an anomaly where even if they had not bought the game otherwise , people would buy it because it fills the temporary drought. Dont be surprised if the infamous sales get very close to titanfall

I do wonder what this means for Mario Kart 8 and the Wii U in all honesty. I think the hype for Mario Kart 8 is quite a bit greater than 3D World. For one, people had great impressions about MK8 from the first trailer (unlike 3D World), and it continues to be marketed a lot. Could the Wii U break 200K for June? I think it's fairly likely Wii U will break 100K in sales considering DK got it to 83K. Just looking at the preorders on Amazon throughout the world, MK8 is easily higher on the charts compared to basically every other Wii U game anywhere. If that keeps up, it could actually sell fairly decently. It actually hit #1 on Amazon in a bunch of countries a good 2-3 months before its release of all things. If that doesn't indicate decent hype, I'm not sure what does.
I'll bet you can.

Eh? I'm gonna have to check the #s, because that doesn't sound right. Considering PS4 outsold XBO by 100,000 in January alone, and another 100,000 (at least) in November, that's already 100k more than you're claiming.
And my #s take the low road.

So basically MS will need to double PS4 sales for multiple months if they are to catch up. Don't see it happening
Does anyone seriously believe the Titanfall beta had any influence on sales? The hype yes but the beta was very short and imo very hard to get into in the beginning before they opened it up. I tried for over a day on twitter to get a code and finally got one. It was only open to everyone for what, two days?
That would be insanely stupid. The longer they are out of supply, the more likely people are to not get a PS4 and possibly go with an XB1 instead.

Supplies being equal ?
I can only assume 'Relaxed Muscle' refers to your sphincter, as you appear to be spilling shit all over.
Jus' playing, I think the library is fucking killer but 'the market' obviously disagrees. Fuck 'em.
Sorry man, can't stand 'em. I'd rather play literally any other genre. Well, maybe not visual novels.Damn, Smoky. I thought you were cool, bro.
Well I mean all the BD info is even on the FF wiki.
Much like Oblivion -> Fallout 3 I think consumers generally got the message of what was going on there.
Yeah, Marvel ranked higher on the Xbone, as well.
Retailers were giving away $60 games or $50 gift cards in February to try and clear out some of their Xbone stock.
While the PS4 was often out of stock.

Nothing! I said nothing!
Great sales for the XB1. They really have turned things around and deserve them. I expect a comfortable lead in March.

Not to mention that Finland comment back then was total bs. PS4 is out of stock with every online retailer. Maybe you can find few in some stores but it's definitely still supply constrained.
Well I mean except for the comment that the lead's under 100k of course.
Sure. If I had not already owned a PS2 at the time, I would have bought on for the MGS2 demo on release day because I would be planning to already buy it in the future.
Not saying it was a huge impact, but I bet a few people did buy an XBO a month early for the beta.
edit: and it wasn't hard to get in. I signed up for the Xbox One beta and got in on the second day. I gave my key to a member here.
Only takes some people getting into it and then telling their friends they should join. There are several other good games the shooter community seems to like to play with Forza and KI, so they had something to occupy their time before Titanfall.
Will be interesting to see if this creates any momentum for Xbox that they can sustain.
InFamous is getting alot of commercials.
Also this is MS biggest being behind nay amount is not good.
