You know I saw a Seamless ad in the subway using doge language? He truly has gone mainstream.
I had an old coworker that would constantly talk in doge with out a hint of irony. It was a waking nightmare.

@ Abdiel, Since Sony stocked UC bundle for the whole weekend, did the bundle sell on Saturday?
It seems PS4 and X1 done well.

According to this post on slickdeals the XBOX 1 is back to $349 at target in store only. The price is still $299 online and you can get SWBF free with it.

Anecdotes are interesting as a gauge, but context is also important. I mean, without access to broader data sets, one person's anecdotes across multiple stores across a single day, even if that's all they do can probably account to... I dunno, 1000 SKUs if they hawkeye through the aisles?
That's 0.05% or less of the number of SKUs that will be sold throughout the month of Nov.

That sounds like PS4 wins Black Friday then. Microsoft released their "We Won Black Friday" PR on the Monday after Black Friday last year. So they should be getting some data pretty soon, if not already.
For Greenburg to go from posting pictures people sent him on twitter talking about how Xbox One was sold out in all these different places, how it was the Number one seller in Sweden or something like that, to both consoles sold well, seems very humble for him during the PostSeason. I mean, honestly, he is in mid Pre-Season form right now and we are a few weeks into the Postseason.
However, it is Greenburg, so who knows! He has been pretty busy tweeting with Tim Dog so he may be distracted by all his knowledge.

We know you're joking but that cold stare sells it as truth so, so well

Arent those the 2 biggest companies when it comes to console sales? Maybe Sony was just slowly going to raise the price up, but keep it down at the 2 biggest sellers.
However, I see a lot of people say "Sony said it would be that price through Cyber Monday!" The actual statement, at least on all the commercials I saw, was "available for $299 Black Friday Weekend."
Unless they said through Cyber Monday on the blog, the commercials simply said Black Friday Weekend.

I guess its different store to store.

Yep, that is what I said, unless the blog said something differently. Thanks for finding that
. Maybe Sony is simply keeping it that price at a few of the biggest retailers, at least for today. You would think it would drop back down tomorrow for Cyber Monday or something.Yeah that could be it.Yep, that is what I said, unless the blog said something differently. Thanks for finding that
Maybe its online only for Bestbuy and in stores the price is still $299?

Maybe retailers with physical locations are trying to drive more traffic before cyber Monday
Im posting this over here as well
Knowing Greenberg this is his way to say they have lost but they still sold lots of systems.
But we'll see next week.
With this BF outcome it's clear that for the full month PS4 has won. Question is how big the gap is.

I thought console wars are immature anyway according to spencer.
So, everyone happy is exactly the message we want to hear.
That cookie doge is quite brilliant though.
Fuck it, I'm gonna try'n incorporate a doge in the next design I'm doing.

In response to Greenberg's tweet -
MajorYnos said -
"Sorry Aaron, my sources tell me you didn't do it this year. Price parity with the PS4 is not where you want to be"
Must admit that I got a chuckle out of that. LOL.

Yep but this is Greenberg
If they knew they were winning he would simply talk about their own success with a comment like "My sources are telling me that Xbox One was the best selling console on BF at many retailers" or things like that. And it wouldn't be a console war comment anyway.

But even at a $50 price advantage MS was still being outsold by Sony in every month but April and October...
They only seem to be immature when your side is losing.

It would be amazing if Spencer got Greenberg to tone down the rhetoric lol. He was pretty humble last month during NPD as well.

I won't provide an exact estimate, but I will estimate that PS4 sold more than Xbox One by any amount.
Nope we want stuff from official sources.

Nah best to wait for official stuff .
Still some of the things he saying anyone could see .

He's neither legit nor tweeting anything substantial right now even if he was.
Nah his info is spotty and dodgy at best.

Oh, he's totally legit. /s

[EDIT] Ok point taken about Tidux not being legit, cheers guys.
Because he makes shit up every week and people like you don't keep track of his predictions that don't come true.
The PS+ user number could just be an educated guess. I remember while ago Sony state that had 10 million PS+ users. Adding 8 million more since then wouldn't be unheard of.
Kralamoonard

Huh, what's with the aggressive tone? Chill lol...
By the way, I do keep 'track of when his predictions don't come true' or when he's vague for the sake of it (e.g. GG's new IP code name and talking about someone saying a word in Sony's E3 conference that was referencing an unannounced game) but at the same the reverse could be true when people don't believe things that come true e.g. Firmware updates and soon to decide, PSN name change at PSX.
Also saying he makes things up every week is a gross exaggeration IMO.
But point taken; I can see how people would believe he sometimes throws crap at the wall and see if it sticks. But I'm a firm believer of you gotta give credit where credit is due and I think this PSX will show that (regarding the name change he said about a month ago).
Yes. PSN name change would be in Firmware 1.70 according to him. Surely when it's revealed at PSX his insider status will be revealed for all and all unbelievers will bow to him.
.... Dude has been wrong wayyyyy more often then he has been right. You know why? Because all he does is make educated guesses. I remember he was absolutely 100% sure that back compatibility was happening last year at PSX. You don't get to be an "insider" when your insider info is right as often as a magic 8 ball.

Ok I just saw the reference to the 1.70 name change and him saying we'll be able to change it 'soon' which is about a year ago. I never saw that, I appreciate you bringing that up.
And no I never said all non-believers should bow down to him or anything of that sort; but I guess the point above does prove he just throws whatever crap at the wall and see if it sticks...I apologise, but you gotta understand I was just asking a genuine question, there was no need for that tone
You've managed to convince me despite that, but next time it'd be appreciated it if the same could be said more respectfully, thanks.
He never even provided a source? Lol.

Oh you sweet summer child. You think that was disrespectful? You must be new here.

Lol...I never said it was disrespectful (read my comment again) but just could have been said more respectfully i.e less sarcasm/snark
But hey maybe I'm reading things the wrong way and blowing it outta proportion. After all, tone is hard to translate through text and I could be painting a completely different picture lol.
Anyhow, good day gentlemen!
