Ugh. If you want proof just go on twitter and the hundreds of tweets yesterday about people waiting inline for a PS4.


Could just as well be dozens of twitter-bots.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Bestbuy in manahawkin Nj sold out in 12 mins when they opened nobody at the store would tell me how many they had though, with one employee telling who cares we have x1s in stock for only 100$ more you can play Dead Rising 3 lmfao.


Makes you wonder how many more systems Microsoft might be selling if they were 400.  For the record, DR3 IS pretty awesome.


i disagree with DR3 being anytype of awesome, but then again i didnt like any of the launch titles exclusive to either system much, Killzone was playable and pretty but got boring quickly, Ryse was boring after a little while, and DR3 well its the better of the bunch but still not better then DR2 or my fav DR1.  i think if MS kept thier 500$ one they got now and offered a 400$ one with NO kinect that would be better, but i think in the short and long term PS4 is going to offer a much wider selection of games.  

Regarding DR3, I agree on the bold.  I thought it was fun but I can see how you might not like it compared to the originals and respect that opinion.

Regarding the Kinectless SKU, that's fine with me as long as Microsoft rewards early adopters in SOME way.  I don't even have my Kinect hooked up still.  That being said, it seems unlikely that Microsoft will remove Kinect.  I think there is a better chance they will just bite the bullet and either lower the cost of the system or start bundling something with it.

Maybe this is certain parts of the country because I'm in So Cal and saw PS4's sitting out no problem in both Gamestop and BestBuy yesterday. No crowds, no lines, no issues. I was out buying a used balance board for our Wii U.


Of course it depends on region.  However, its safe to say that overall Sony is not keeping up with PS4 demand.

Wether the demand is just that huge, or supply just that constrained (or both, most likely) is what people are really arguing about.

A financially losing proposition, but people are stupid.  Frustrating to me that people are feeding the Ebay machine with no gain for themselves.  Basic math people!

i only had my kinect connected for i think the first day, i played with the voice features fell for that dipshits name  Xboxsignout , and it wasnt any faster to talk to my xbox then to pick the controller up and use it.  plus to use the kinect the cable would need to be 30 feet long for me being my console is in a closet with my other equipment as i keep everything neat and out of hte way.
