I have to quote this reply. This blasphemous reply.

Rice is meant to be cooked the tradional way.

Bit of chopped onions, a bit of Olive Oil. You let it cook till the onions are almost transparent. You add a bay leave. And then a bit of chopped garlic.
You then add a cup of rice and two cups of water.
Salt. Give it a whirl with a wooden spoon.
It starts to boil. You bring the temp back to a minimum. Cover it up.
Wait.
Profit from real tasty rice and get rid of your machine cooking rice of infamy.


Rice rules.


P.S.: To keep on topic: Amazing numbers and totally deserved.

Wtf you think you know more about rice than rice eaters? Every rice eater household has a rice cooker! Shame on you!

Hey man, every now and then I will do a Spanish style rice, but the rice cooker is a godsend.

What? No, get out of here. Pressure cookers for life.

 

[deranged_666]

I've been waiting for a PS3 price drop for ages it seems. I really get nervous anytime I turn my 80GB fat model on, would like to box it up and store it and replace it with a slim for Blu Ray playback/digital games

 

[boredandlazy]

I don't go crazy with flavours when using my ricecooker, but adding a dash of salt to the water makes white rice taste great. Easy to add too much though.

Back on topic though, it'll be interesting to see what impact each new exclusive has next year. Considering how little impact exclusives have had this gen thus far.

 

[Memento]

Why are people talking about rice...?

 

[boredandlazy]

Why are people talking about rice...?

Because crapgamer made a racist Tweet calling Sony 'rice eaters'.

 

[FuturusX]

Why are people talking about rice...?

Because it's a delicious food product and a critical staple for our humble planet.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

PS2 sales basically doubled from ~ 25 million in Dec 2001 to ~50 million Dec 2002

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_2_sales

So PS4 needs to sell around 15 million this year to keep pace with PS2...

 

[Memento]

Because crapgamer made a racist Tweet calling Sony 'rice eaters'.

Oh...

That is weird though. I thought rice was basically the essencial element in every country? I mean, at least in my country there is no lunch/dinner without rice.

Its not weird. It's just incredibly ignorant. Especially considering rice originated from China, not Japan.

Sony had to hide bad PlayStation 3 numbers.

[SolidAwesome]

To put it bluntly, Crapgamer, Mooch etc etc are simply lying racist c***s who spread so much shit and misinformation it boggles the mind, all in the name of defending a piece of plastic...Grown men, some with family........staggering......alongside MrX they give the XB brand such an awful name.

the guys are just butt hurt that PS4 is dominating the xbox one. I never in my wildest dreams thought grown men could act like this. Its how they really feel, and to try and damage control that they are acting like children they try to claim "Its just entertainment" LOL.

That happened in April 2009.

In my experience, bread and corn products take the status of rice in many americans diets.

Especially corn. Its in everything over there.

I'm pretty sure Brazil is the only non-Asian country where rice is the biggest staple food. US's is corn. Even most of their soda is sweetened with corn syrup instead of sugar.

easily doable imo, i would be surprised if this year they sell less than they did in 2015

 

[The Artisan]

that would be surprising considering the exclusives releasing all throughout this year.

people say it's the multiplats that sell the console but exclusives do drive them to a certain extent, i'm sure.

 

[Primethius]

So PS4 needs to sell around 15 million this year to keep pace with PS2...

That chart is pretty clear in many regards. PS4 will likely keep WW pace with PS2 for a bit at the very least.

The reason many say that PS4 won't touch PS2 is also highlighted in that chart and that is PS2's monstrous legs. It sold (and outsold 360 and PS3 early on) way after the generation ended. Granted, it's hard to predict how the PS4 will do after this generation ends but it seems very unlikely, it'll have the legs the PS2 did.

 

[blacklotus]

I eat pizza with rice.

:| I love rice.


On keeping up with the PS2 numbers:

2016 gets Uncharted, Something with Gran Turismo on the name and probably VR. And the Last Guardian.
It will be legendary.

They've taken fanboyism to the next (terrible) level.

Is there some kind of intersection of conservative gun waving racist evangelical Microsoft defense forces? That's the voice I hear from the guy with the stupid rice tweet.

[Celcius]

All those limited-edition themed consoles released last year probably helped move a lot of PS4's as well:

MGS5 ps4
Destiny TKK ps4
Star Wars PS4
COD: BO3 ps4
and perhaps others that I've forgotten


When do you think Sony will start back including 1TB hdds? (or even include a 2TB hdd?)
Also, has Sony ever given a reason why the US doesn't get white systems?

 

[Atlas157]

MGS4 ps4

Where can I buy this and how much?

 

[Celcius]

Sorry, I meant MGS5
(corrected my earlier post)

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Yep which is impressive since PS4 has to share NA with X1 which PS2 did not really .
And the Japanese market is dead comapre to the PS2 era .
Which shows how much PS has grow in other markets for it to be keeping pace with PS2.

 

[AmuroChan]

Yep, and this is the year where their big first party titles are coming out.

It was worse because it was not about Sony being rice eaters, it was about Konami catering to Japanese people in general who Crapgamer labeled as rice eaters.(this was about the resolution disparities between MG5 and PES between PS4 and XB1)

[SolidSnakex]

Why in the world are some people here obsessed with CrapGamer? This dude has 20k subscribers. In the world of Youtube that's nothing. To the point that i'm not even sure how some even stumbled upon him. Some act like he's PewdiePie.

 

[nib95]

Is this true? Why does Microsoft entertain and indirectly endorse people like this? I mean, Tim Dog too. It's like they want to empower and promote rabid fanboyism and gaming ignorance. I'm also baffled as to how something like the MisterXMedia site gets so popular as well. I mean, does a Nintendo or Sony alternative even exist?

Lets not get carried away now.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

So I take it E3's probably the next sell through update thread we can get locked because it goes off topic and gives crapgamer et al more attention than they warrant.

There's a pretty great lineup until then, but will it be enough to push it over the 40 million mark?

Might be GDC like last year.
Shipping update will be later this month.

Sony alternatives exist on youtube. BlackB0nd on Youtube was really bad for a long while. 1Stop4Gamers is another one.

JayTechTV can be insufferable a lot of the time, but i actually can tolerate him, cause he can also be reasonable a lot of the time, and covers many niche titles that don't usually get much attention elsewhere on his let's plays and first looks.

Why not both?

But do Sony openly endorse these people? Or reward them for their 'loyalty'?
