I'm reading a lot of excuses about Xbone is doing good because it is ahead 360.
This is a false vision due frontloaded sales of Xbone and supply issues of 360 in the first years.
Supply issues for years? 360 is not Wii.

Allan isn't even entirely wrong. MS complete mis calculation of the market played a significant role in the PS4's position in the NA market. Thats not even up for debate. Its not entirely that, Sony may have won the gen even if the Xbox One came out all cylinders firing but their mistakes had a noteworthy impact.
It absolutely would have been a closer battle in a few regions around the world but in my opinion the power of the Playstation brand would have edged them ahead yet again all things being equal.
Imo, GTA VI launch is gonna be insane, i believe it could be bigger than GTA V ( only launch, not in the long term ).
But i don't think it Will sell many console... I expect GTA VI to release, Like GTA C, by end of the generation, when At that Point PS4 and XB1 have saturated the market.
I mean, look At GTA V. It sold over 35 million on PS3 and 360, but it didn't increased the sales. I expect a similar situation for GTA VI.
About price and Slim model, well, i don't see an official $250 pricedrop this year, but i believe PS4 Will be At that price duting Black Friday of this year.

You can bet GTA V (yes, GTA 5) will get re-released again on next gen consoles in 4K / 2160p, 60fps with with PC Ultra+ graphics and sell another 10+ million copies.
with full VR support @ 90/120 Hz
Supply was non issue in holiday 2006.

2016 is the PS4 peak.
In US I remember that 360 was very supply constrained until march, in april stores received a big shipment and sales grew (Was the first time that 360 outsold PS2). After that I didn't remember people talking about supply problems.
Don't know if in Europe 360 had bigger supply issues.
Many people fail to realize that the PS3 allowed Sony to win the Bluray/HDvd format war.It is about 10 per console and 10 cents per disk. Sony owns about a third of the company that receives this money.
Globally I 100% agree. The Playstation brand is just too strong.
We are sorry, Blackleg. But please don't lose hope.Between allan taking away from sony, post history witch hunts, long debates on why this console is successful...i gotta say you disappointed me sales gaf!!! I looked up tp you guys like a kid does a super hero, this was the one thread where it always made sense, where we could unite and talk about Maus, Na's bad taste in games every time an rpg bombs and so on. Disappointed.
Sincerely-Disappointed Blackleg
GAF, remember the last NPD we had to wait this long? It was back in October and we were all starting to lose hope. But then, out of the darkness, a hero who shall not be named gave us the numbers with unprecedented accuracy. Now if only a similar miracle can happen again.
Dude, 60 hours a week! Where am I going to get the extra 36 hours in a day? I don't do time manipulation shit, man!We are sorry, Blackleg. But please don't lose hope.
SalesGAF is like a vulnerable flower, bending it's fragile head under the cold winds of ... no, that's not good.
It's like a lonely candle, spreading it's light in the darkness of the all-digital, all-maugical aera that is surrounding us all, including javin, who is gaming 60 hours a day. Alas, this light only can shine so bright when there is air to breathe, pie to share and overall fucking new releases in a sales month that's not as slow as teardrops running down a mother's cheek when she hears her beloved son shit-talking on Call of Duty in his rotten basement that once was a bright childhood vessel. A month that is not as depressingly ignorable as a pile of Tomb Raider bundles and not as poor and underdeveloped as Don Mattrick's skills to explain the XboxOne always online thingy.
Be assured my friend that I knew and loved for at least the last 7 minutes that next month SalesGAF will rise from the ashes like an alt account, eloquent and amusing like this new playstation Jack-surrogate whose name and face I always forget, spontaneous like ads with happy nerds switching from game to skype to tv as if it's actually worth it and rich on information like a freshly hatched PR statement right out of the gates (sic) of Redmond.
Good night
Or as we say on SalesGAF: I own both consoles.

Why u so bias against Nintendo
Can I just chime in here to say GTAV (like all previous mainline GTA games) was made right here in Scotland, something I'm pretty proud of. Damn if I only had a decent grasp of maths and stuck in on my computer games programming course (dropped out after 1 year) I could be working there, maybe... (Haha I'm a dunce).
But hey, this is a phenomenon. Mine craft sales are huge but GTAV is what, about 3/4 times the price.. Amazing stuff.

Well, technically, if you divide 60 hours for two computers, you're left with 30 hours, which leaves 6 phantom hours in a day.get on our level

That statement was completely wrong & there is nothing that show other wise.
Xbox One is doing better than Xbox 360 & the OG Xbox so why is the success of the PS4 being credited to Xbox One's mishaps?
Xbox One started off better than any other Xbox so why is it so hard to believe that PS4 has started off better than any other PlayStation? what proof show that Xbox gave up massive user base to help PS4 be successful? it's the Wii U that lost ground from last gen so how can anyone say that PS4 success is because of Microsoft & not Sony?
Hasn't played Yoshi WW, does not know joy.
At this point in time, is there any word that Nintendo is trying to court devs like Rockstar? Because why wouldn't they want a slice of that GTA pie?
That statement was completely wrong & there is nothing that show other wise.
The problem with that logic is that it doesn't account for market expansion. A decade has gone by. Kids born in 2006 are playing asking for new consoles. Teens with 360s back then are in college or graduating. People in their 20s then are in a position of more disposable income. Gaming as an industry has grown. Games are more accessible than ever with really low cost indie titles in far more quantities.
Comparing the data of a previous platform generations sales is only a single marker to be used. I am pretty sure if Microsoft was asked if they would like more consoles sold in world wide than they have the answer would be a resounding yes. Especially since the Xbox One is superior in nearly every way to the 360.
I am by no means saying the Xbox One isn't on a more healthy track than the 360 was. Just that I think you are jumping to a conclusion based on a logical falicy.
I think I may be the last person on Earth who hasn't bought GTAV.
can't believe they banned our only connection to NPD.

There is PLENTY to prove it. Whether that is public information or not.
I would say something, but I mean, it's not like the information on who Mulcair was, how the account was setup, and why they would be registered as an alt, is not out in the wild on a certain site that has a sales forum.
Banning the one person that gave us concrete info because of them being an "alt" is laughable, but I mean, that is neither here nor there.
can't believe they banned our only connection to NPD.
Where?
Please don't pretend that what you think is the case is what is really going on.Rules on all, that what I like about Neogaf.
Im not using thoughts or dreams on anything. I never do on sales.
There has been extensive research by plenty of major players in the industry on the direction MS took the Xbox One and its effect on install base both before and after launch.
Here's one that was made public by a major company. And there are others.
