Thank you for bringing this worthless article to VGChartz.

Sometimes I feel like this forum is lacking flamebait.

You got to admit he has a point. Ms are also lying. no way they knew what x1's sales were less then 24 hours when they launched in numerous europe territories. Sony took days because how hard it is to track. Also, numerous amazon, targets have many x1's left.

 

This is pretty funny:

 

At their respective launches:

Sony "We sold 1 million units"
MS "We sold over 1 million units"

Now

Sony "We sold 2.1 million units"
MS "We spent 50 million man hours on making this"

 

See one post from amazon:

 

I just started working at Amazon and I there is one pallet location I get to walk past every day. On it are some Xbox One's, after 5 days working there, the numbers have decreased by 0. So much for selling every one they can make!

I know several people who work at target, other retailers and still x1's are pretty easy to find.

It seems you dont bother to the actual contents of the article. Please put the actual articles in the OP. Otherwise people will be reporting the OP.

Too much bait. Too much flaming.

Locking due to thread self-destruction. Seeing this thread get any worse is a scary thought.

For next time:

1. If you're trying to make a point OP, do so without a click-bait title. It just starts problems that should never start to begin with.

2. If people have a problem with a user, then report said user. Calling him a troll, or telling him to get a life is not how we go about things here. These things are usually moderated, but since the entire thread is a mess I'm just gonna lock it.

Console Wars hooooo!



3DS Rec Thread ~ Wii U Rec Thread ~ Xbox One Rec Thread

Microsoft has been bs'ing to consumers for years, which is the exact reason why I own a Wii U and will get a PS4 when some good games come out. I remember seeing Ryse for the 1st kinect years ago and it was a big reason why I bought a Kinect and all I ever ended up getting was Kinect Sports so I sold it. The 360 in terms of quality and reliability was a piece of trash and the fact that I argued for them for years almost makes me sick. Even Halo 4 was a peice of trash compared to 3 and Reach. Glitchy online play, and a total loss of the Halo feel. The only games anyone wants anyways are from 3rd party companies anyways.

M$ is coming at Sony at a different angle. That's what I'm getting out of this stat shit.

Sony is saying, "yeah, we sold PS4 like hotcakes."

M$ is saying, "that's nice, we have games that people play."
