I own a PS3 and I can tell you Warhawk/Starhawk/Uncharted were not very populated in MP outside of the first couple weeks. You can find more players in Halo3 5 years later online than those 3 games combined at launch.

You know, it's good to show humility now and then when you're wrong and not move the goalposts:

"Sony has never been known for pumping out first party MP games, but MS has mainly focused on doing MP games."

You created the argument, at least have the balls to stick with it.

I can attest to this. MS is outshipping Sony in the US (or at least at my work).

We received a ton of XBO 2 weeks ago, maybe a bit over 50. In the last 2 weeks we have recieved 2 batches of PS4s that only equal to about 30.

We still have XBO's wasting space in our store tho, at least 25 of them still sitting there. Every PS4 we get selling in just a few hours, let alone some being left for the next day.


Will Gamestop sell someone an Xbox One without being forced to buy a bundle? They wouldn't sell my friend one last week unless he bought a game with it. He bought Dead Rising 3 and they let him get one.

The way it works(at least where I am) is  if we have them in stock in store we sell them as is. We obviously encourage Games and accessories along with it, and Live/ PS+. Now if the store itself is sold out, Gamestop can also find you a system from their Web in Store. GS is holding a undisclosed amount of consoles back for replacements(in case you have a defective console), and preying on last minute buyers with forced bundles. Every bundle for PS4 starts at 600, XBOs start at 800. Now if you were already interested in the games these bundles offer, they are actually really good deals. But if you are only interested in 1 out of 8 games they throw at you then it isn't much of a benefit. Yet you could always sell said games u don't like. But at that point you are losing money.

Thanks for explaining that. I was baffled as to how they pick and choose who has to buy bundles or not. My other friend was able to just walk in 2 weeks ago and buy one without any games attached.

"like 4 times more" can easily be interpreted as 3.69. Now let it go, because you're nitpicking something for apparently no reason.

Xbox isn't nearly as much of a worldwide brand as Playstation. Sorry to break it to you. Those 13 countries represent the vast majority of Xbox sales while they don't have as big of a part of Playstation's pie. And apparently MS's excuse was that Kinect couldn't be localized for more markets in time.

Wait.  I'm nitpicking?  However, when I suggest that if the Xbox One was released world-wide and was unable to meet demands you respond to that by saying the Xbox One isn't a world-wide brand and that Kinect couldn't be localized for more markets.  And, you missed the hypothetical point completely.

Another saying is fight fire with fire and you're doing it.  You're just dong it wrong.  If you think I'm nitpicking, don't turn around and nitpick my points.  Argue them based on the merits of the argument.

The fact is, if Microsoft had launched world-wide and failed to meet the demand, you would be one of the first ones to sit and comment how they failed.  Yet, the fact that Sony can't meet the demand is a sign of success to you.  If Sony couldn't meet the demand of the initial launch countries, then how do you think it'll meet the demand of the 48 territories it's in now or the additional territories it plans to be in early 2014?

For better or worse, Microsoft is in a smaller number of markets, which allows it to ensure that it has units available in those territories where it has shipped.      


Talk about moving goal posts, the xb1 is not selling as well as expected by anyone! All analysis I had seen until a week or two ago suggested that bith xb1 and ps4 would be supply constrained until march 2014 or so! Now anyone can walk into most stores in the most important market for the xb1 and get them for all their family members and the dog on a whim... This is not a good sign by any measure since they could not have manufactured much more than 4 to 6 million of these so far (probably less than 4 million reached the market).

so even if they provided more than sony (which I am sure they did) ms did not reach their sales expectations, the consoles are not flying off the shelves... By any measure, no matter how they sold on launch day, that is not going on anymore... 

For all we know there is demand for consoles, the ps4 is flying off the shelves when shipment arrives.... The wii u has better demand than expected it's just that not so many people want the xb1 this year, not need to defend againt the facts, because nobody would stock so many boxes that size if they did not expect to sell them right away, this is obviously not happening and people must be very worried in redmond!

Yeah I should have said good MP games with a population not poor excuses for MP games with a low population.



Some interesting things about PS4 in Moscow, Russia.
XBOne isn't released here yet.
At the launch all PS4 were sold on preorders. Almost all of them. In free retail there were a few shop where it was possible to buy a PS4 for a terryfying $599 (it is the official price for Russia). They were sold out in minutes. We still has a great demand of PS4 and not a console in stock.
More, some network sellers decided to raise official price to $850-899 and people still buy it. Sony tried to regulate the price but most of sellers f*cked Sony off and sell as they wanna do. "if you want to get a PS4 for $599 - make a preorder and get it directly from Sony" they say.

I, personally, missed the preorder fever. I came to a small shop at the day befor release evening, gave 50 extra bucks to a manager and got the console. I didn't realise, but it was a bargain.

Same situation in Brazil and South America.

Fella, you were wrong. It's that simple. Live is NOT better than PSN.
