Can someone give me a summary of what's going on in this thread?

It's ironic, somehow. That's hilarious, I guess.

They are doing a great job this month, deserve to win.

 

[RexNovis]

I see you're trying to find meaning in the Microsoft comma, but it is a dangerous path to go down.

You stare long enough at the Microsoft comma, the comma stares back at you.

 

[Macattk15]

Damn.

As I walked into this thread, I passed by the ashes of a user named Hindle. What happened?

[BlackBuzzard]

What did Raymaker do?

Adblock.

 

[boredandlazy]

I read most of the preceding Hindle posts that lead to the meltdown, but my brain can only absorb so much stupid at a time.

Perfectly understandable. Unlike Hindle.

 

[Nightengale]

What happened?

What we've known for months. (his low, accusatory opinion of some folks here)

 

[OsirisBlack]

For november PS4 is competing with their bundles and black friday deals (PS+ promos). Multiplats still go in their favor but i'm curious to see how sales of cod and dragon age are split. Far Cry 4 is probably gonna lean towards PS4 as well. So i guess we'll find out really how big price difference matters in terms of value proposition.

I think in December momentum swings their way again with the PS event.

If I had to make a guess I would say
CODAW XB1>PS4>360>PS4
GTAV PS4>XB1
Dragon Age PS4>XB1>PS3>X360
Fracry PS4>XB1
Assassins Creed XB1>PS4

 

[Mass Effect]

Damn.

As I walked into this thread, I passed by the ashes of a user named Hindle. What happened?

The Hindleburg happened.

 

[TomShoe]

Adblock.

Since when was that a bannable offense?

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

The Hindleburg happened.

Oh the inanity!

Spoiler

Yes, I used the same joke earlier this thread. No, I have no shame.

 

[benny_a]

If I had to make a guess I would say
CODAW XB1>PS4>360>PS4

Against that speaks PS4:XB1 revenue was 49:51 last time that was shared (July) and the XB1 having CODAW as a bundle.

Individual SKU sales is what we will be able to check ourselves wih the Top 10 list that gets shared.

Its actually going to be pretty interesting to see how multi plats rank in November considering the bundles. NPD doesn't count bundled software sales into the total.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

If you admit to using adblock on GAF its a bannable offense. Been known for awhile.

GAF has the most non intrusive ads of any site i visit frequently no stupid noise makers or popups just small banner ads, so why you would use ad block for those is beyond me.

Is this US only or worldwide?
Personally I think the ps4 version will sell more worldwide.

 

[Nightengale]

Assassins Creed XB1>PS4

That would depend strongly on the bundle doing gangbustas, I think.

Because just like how CoD is 'marketed with Xbox', AC has long been on the PS-side of things, and AC4 did lean significantly on the PS4 more than XB1.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Since when was that a bannable offense?

Pretty much always.

Cutting off the most potent revenue stream for the site is shitty.

 

[Tapiozona]

Since when was that a bannable offense?

Depends on the mod but you should really turn it off for GAF. No ads, no GAF

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Damn.

As I walked into this thread, I passed by the ashes of a user named Hindle. What happened?

This happened.

Bish.

What's ironic is how on a neutral gaming forum, (as stated on the main page) that we have you as a mod who is openly bias.

Now that's hilarious.

and then.

I keep forgetting they don't count bundles we sold out of the CODAW XB1 bundle almost immediately and we had a lot of them.

Is this US only or worldwide?
Personally I think the ps4 version will sell more worldwide.

That is how its looking to me in the US I doubt XB1 will sell more worldwide simply because of the difference in install base size.

That would depend strongly on the bundle doing gangbustas, I think.

Because just like how CoD is 'marketed with Xbox', AC has long been on the PS-side of things, and AC4 did lean significantly on the PS4 more than XB1.

Well the assassins creed bundle comes with both Black Flag and Unity it has been moving like gangbusters. We pulled some from our neighboring stores as we burned through our stock pretty fast. This is the best I have seen XB1 do since last year November.

Huh, had no idea. Note taken.

Gotta remember to turn off ad blocker for GAF on my computers. I'm on my phone at the moment

I'm ashamed of myself

lol at your tag. (to be somewhat fair, unlike cream/Aqua, you don't share anything that has smoking guns pointed at you, so it's not strange that you get called out if you're not willing to share more than some teasers of your retail world)

I expect PS4 to rank better for all of them (on the charts) because of bundles.

Including bundles, CoD XB1 > CoD PS4.
Including bundles... ACU PS4 > ACU XB1. (by a very small margin)

My uneducated guess.

 

[jayu26]

Oh jeez! I stopped at page 14. Go to watch a movie and now I have some late night reading to do.

As you should be.

If I remember right Evi did say it's acceptable if you start getting hijacked by renegade ads, but you should stop once Google has gotten their shit together.

 

[markedbravado]

HAHAHA! Oman that is funny. I never noticed the coma till now.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

I would recommend the Hindle account suicide of 2014, it has just the right amount of meltdown

I agree with you. The nightingale is my spirit animal.

 

[krypt0nian]

But now that Hindle is dead, who will be the Hindle?

I'm scared

I think I ate your spirit animal once.

I was going to say the same thing. The ads on here cause no annoyance at all.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

We all have a little Hindle inside of us,

Spoiler

that sounded dirty.

 

[TomShoe]

But now that Hindle is dead, who will be the Hindle?

I'm scared

We'll have a Hindle-by-committee.

 

[Beefy]

So what if MS don't win november?

 

[NolbertoS]

Please tell me that was a typo.

That was a hindle pun, that it wasn't worth his time to argue with uneducated people.

 

[DBT85]

But now that Hindle is dead, who will be the Hindle?

I'm scared

Reiko will rise again.

 

[krypt0nian]

So what if MS don't win november?

ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US ALL KILLED?

 

[Ursiform]

New Xbone buyers will be getting bundled games.

For the old Xbone buyers, exclusive games will be competing with the multiplats.

I figure PS4 leads all of them with the remotely possible exception of COD.

 

[The Shogun]

Haha just saw the tag too. I'm sorry I don't openly share more but honestly don't feel like losing my job. I feel comfortable sharing trends / general viewpoints on the industry. Basically stuff that won't make my ass lose my job.

Bish gets the good stuff

 

[DrkSage]

So NPD is today @ 6:30... I wonder whats going to go down. Same old NPD probably?

 

[NolbertoS]

But now that Hindle is dead, who will be the Hindle?

I'm scared

From GAF ban land, new Hindle will arise from the ashes like a Phoenix, and be proclaimed the MS console Champion. Who will be the Sony Champion remains a mystery.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

But now that Hindle is dead, who will be the Hindle?

I'm scared

Maybe Timdog will come share his unique blend of bullshit and horseshit with us.

 

[Nightengale]

So what if MS don't win november?

Well, if that happens, it's good that Hindle's banned, no?

 

[Amir0x]

So what if MS don't win november?

seriously if it doesn't happen this November with all these insane deals, shit ain't ever happenin' again lol

 

[SlaughterX]

Right now I think the One is the best current gen console to own for the price, followed by the Wii U for niche games. The library more than warrants the $350 cost, especially with the game bundles. I think they will have a hell of a holiday season, good to see Microsoft getting their shit together, but they have been on a roll all year.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

So what if MS don't win november?

i, for one, will welcome a $200 xbone for xmas.

 

[fade_]

Has Major Nelson fun facts not been resurrected yet?

 

[Beefy]

Well, if that happens, it's good that Hindle's banned, no?

I don't know really, seeing him lose it was kind of entertaining.

 

[Mass Effect]

So what if MS don't win november?

The apocalypse happens.
