Like I said before, I thought they were talking about a NeoGAF poster because they had mentioned unabomber when talking about CBOAT getting caught. If I had Googled them up and their results had been every individual post they had ever made, what good would that have done me to wade through possibly tens of thousands of posts to find what had happened?

Without a doubt. Microsoft would have to pay stores to not stock the PS4 in order to keep it even remotely close. In no way is this going to be a death blow for the Xbox brand but they're going to stumble hard this holiday and have to start thinking about how they'll market the system through 2014.

However, I don't expect the PS4 to be anywhere near the PS3 and 360 in sales. With inevitable final price drops, and a marketing push on both sides for the current systems (since they both will have awesome profit margins at this point), both systems will have a stellar holiday sales year.

Idk if I believe that the console market is in as dire straights as other people believe. I honestly believe we have another strong console generation for gen 8, and then we'll see a plateau/decline in total sales for gen 9. But that's another topic entirely. Sorry for the segway.

I'm saying just this holiday. Due to a huge amount of stock and lower prices of both the PS3 and 360, they will easily outsell both next gen systems this holiday. For lifetime sales, I have no idea what's going to happen there.

This comment makes absolutely no sense:

2) There are no yield issues I have heard of from my leads, their leads, or our executives. What was told company wide is we will sell 100% of our production inventory on launch based on pre-order numbers. Every console we make until launch will need to go out the door. There is the possibility of our executives simply not revealing the yield issues to us because they don't want to hurt morale. I doubt this is the case.
Click to expand...

Selling 100% of your pre-order numbers, which are substantially lower than your rival competitor's pre-order numbers, as well as cancelling the launch in crucial european territories points to a SUPPLY ISSUE.

What other supply issues could they have other than poor yields? Everything else in the system should be fairly easy to manufacture.

The translation excuse is complete bullshit to cover up for poor yields/supply.

What's with all the Xbox and Day One signs besides the names of all those CBoat doubters? Lol.

And I think I'll believe CBoat over some random Xbox dev who likely was put there for PR (hence publicly responding without fear of NDA). Also, his logic behind justifying why the yield issues aren't true is bollocks. Fact of the matter is, Microsoft isn't able to produce nearly as many consoles as Sony, nor reach as many territories, coupled with CBoats earlier posts, that were backed up by other insiders including a Microsoft employee (Proelite), it's difficult to take Microsoft PRs word seriously.

Thank fuck for that. Honestly, the fact MS even consider Platinum important enough to Moneyhat an exclusive is something to be celebrated IMO.


It will piss me off that It will be a long while before ai play this Platinum game, but hell, I still havent played Madworld *shrugs*
Click to expand...

I agree with the bolded. Honestly i would wonder why MS wasn't looking to fund an action game by Platinum, especially since Ninja Gaiden is no longer exclusive.( not to mention Itagaki and Valhalla) Assuming this comes to pass, i look forward to it as a Platinum fan! So long as they keep making games that's all i give a shit about. If Sony ends up Money hat...erm i mean forming a "partnership" with Platinum games i would be buying that on my PS4 ( when i finally buy one) as well.

Here's what that person wrote:-

Personally, I don't think this person works at Microsoft based on things he has said so far, I feel like most of the time he is over-simplifying things. I'm going to give my take on what he's "revealed" this time.
1) This entire point is vague. Not sure what he is referring to when he says our architecture isn't ready. If he is saying our architectural design isn't finalized, that is completely wrong. I'm going to assume he means certain features aren't fully ready to be shown, which is true. That being said, I don't see how this has anything to do with Microsoft not streaming Gamescom. Perhaps he meant because some of our features are not yet ready, the overall experience will be so terrible, streaming the conference would show how badly our console runs. Well, we will have 100+ playable consoles at Gamescom. Clearly not the case. The official word has always been Xbox One will launch in November.
To say that our latest July/August DurangoXDK (I assume this is what he meant by SDK) dropped performance by 15-20% across the board, this would mean I as well as a lot of people seriously screwed up somewhere, and I should be freaking out right now. Last time I checked the perf tests, they are on an upwards trend.
2) There are no yield issues I have heard of from my leads, their leads, or our executives. What was told company wide is we will sell 100% of our production inventory on launch based on pre-order numbers. Every console we make until launch will need to go out the door. There is the possibility of our executives simply not revealing the yield issues to us because they don't want to hurt morale. I doubt this is the case.
Points 3, 4, and 5 I have no idea.
6) This isn't news. Marc Whitten has publicly said that the every console will be a dev kit functionality will not be ready at launch and added at a later date. More info will be shown at Gamescom.
7) Not news again, the same day Marc Whitten revealed the Kinect does not have to be plugged in, we confirmed there will not be a Kinect-less Xbox One at launch.
On the possibility of this happening March/April 2014, I have no idea. But to say the Xbox One's launch numbers will be a fallout is unfounded.

The point is that Amazon's actual sales rankings are useless to predict, say, the next month's NPD numbers (may they rest in peace), so why would you think that their pre-order numbers are going to tell you anything?

The fact that MS is panicking is the strongest evidence we have that the XBO is tanking, far stronger than Amazon.

Or they just realised you can't make a moba for a controller without watering it down to the point where you might as well not bother anymore.

He's trying way to hard:

  • "There are no yield issues I have heard of from my leads, their leads, or our executives. What was told company wide is we will sell 100% of our production inventory on launch based on pre-order numbers. Every console we make until launch will need to go out the door."
    Yield Issues would make it easier to sell everything available... Connecting the two in order to discredit "yield issues" makes no sense. Besides - why would a dev know about production related issues? These are things only available to management...

  • "Not news again, the same day Marc Whitten revealed the Kinect does not have to be plugged in, we confirmed there will not be a Kinect-less Xbox One at launch.
    On the possibility of this happening March/April 2014, I have no idea. But to say the Xbox One's launch numbers will be a fallout is unfounded."
    He doesn't even understand what CBOAT is saying - CBOAT said that amount of sales will be a deciding factor if a kinectless SKU will be made available - not that launch sales will be a fallout....

Ahh that's true didn't consider that. Yea, i guess that's very possible. Gen 7 refuses to go out without a bang, and with blockbusters like GTA V still being released on old hardware, i'm inclined to agree with you.

This is what makes it such an insane move. Presumably the cheaper, kinectless skew is going to sell way better, thus dramatically reducing the potential install base for kinect games. Think of the money poured into those games, and the development resources put into figuring out his to shoehorn kinect features into more traditional games. They'd be cutting the legs out from underneath all that stuff. Having showed so much faith in it and touting it as a key part of the xbox experience, they'd basically be dooming it to obscurity.
Click to expand...

On the other hand though, with all the R&D money they've wasted on the console overall(including the ton on Kinect and controller), they really won't want to take a huge loss by not setting the sales charts on fire. At this point it may seem to MS like removing the Kinect and dealing with the backlash from that is the lesser evil than potentially getting destroyed in sales, and never recouping their losses this generation.

This is really making me want to cancel my XB1 preorder and wait. If the Kinect's not going to have a 100% adoption rate, then I'll be damned if I spend money on one.

I can actually believe the claim that all launch units will be sold. Still, they will have other tools to predict their current prospects, and those might still show a negative outlook. After all, dropping Kinect is a strategic possibility, not a fact. Given how much shit Microsoft is getting for bundling Kinect, they would be stupid to not consider and analyze that option at least.

I was using it to measure the allotment of PS4's readily available at launch vs. the supply of the XB1. Not trying to predict numbers. I was just arguing that it would be extremely hard for MS to outsell Sony in the US, with such a limited supply.

Would they really drop Kinect?
They've made such a song and dance about it, even down to the system interface level and everything. It's amazing how much of a mess they've got themselves in. The console has no identity at all.
