Considering the other thread might get lock down, we have to make another one. It just maintains this amazon thread status quo.



I agree - keep the amazon threads going..... lol

An issue that Microsoft might not have thought of is the people who purchased the 4gb console (# 53 in '13, #46 in '12 amazon) as opposed to the more expensive one with Kinect or bigger harddrive. While Gamestop probably sells more of the higher priced model due to core games, I would venture to say places like Walmart and Target sell the cheaper model more readily.

Some parents will just buy a cheaper console and will not pay over $300 for one no matter how much a kid cries and moans. And now they have to shell out $500 for a console just to play Halo and Gears of War. Some will just tell their kids, well I can get you a PS4 if you are ok with me buying you COD or Battlefield. To some people they will just see the price difference and say, well, I already have a cable box, regardless of what other features it might have. Not to mention the negative articles around E3

Ultimately, Halo will be the difference. PS4 will definitely have the upper hand outside of the US by a 2 to 1 margin in all likelihood. In the US they will have a slight advantage. Forza and DR3 aren't going to make the difference in year one. New IPs will not drive sales initially especially when some will not release until later. When Halo comes out I think we will know whether or not XBone will stay in second or take over 1st.

You guys have shown me the light, Sony is the the one true god of gaming and to say otherwise is blasphemy. Ms is evil and must be purged from gaming.

 

LOL, nah do not get me wrong i do not hate playstation at all. I just hate blind bashing and hypocrisy.



What is with this obsession with Amazon?
It needs to stop.



Maybe once people start understanding how the top selling list works then they should be allowed to make a thread. The lists change hourly/daily. So that means you will then look foolish in a few hours.

On another forum someone posted a ling about Amazon in the states having the PS4 at number. I saw the thread 30 minutes after he posted it and check his link. Low and behold Xbox One was back in first.

Also Amazon is one place to order from. It doesn't account for the UK like your thread implies.

Finally when are people going to realize that both consoles will sell out? The company that sells more is going to be the company who can get more consoles produced than the other. Even then though you can't use that as a measuring stick to what console everyone prefers.

We need a few years so these dick measuring contest thread every 10 minutes should and need to stop.
