$499 price tag, plain and simple. How M$ could be this dumb and make the same mistake Sony made last gen is beyond me.


LOL it's worse.  At least the PS3 had Blueray, 60GB, Wifi, and more horsepower...

And it only cost $599 for the 60GB version with Wifi.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

The fact Microsoft is able to sell 3.9 million in two months, with a 500 dollar console, and sony couldn't even sell half of that with the ps3 at 599, shows how strong the Xbox brand has become



 

mM

Good thing to see MS being able to keep up production, Should make for some good numbers through most of the spring in the US :).



Lol ship them to Europe... More xb shortage here than the us apparently

It's easy to find Xbox One here in France



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Why pity the Xbox? It's selling well isn't? Especially considering Microsoft shot themselves in the foot.

I didn't know the PS3 launch was that worse. Really puts things into even more accurate perspective.



People asked me about PS4 digital games.

What I have from leaderboard or likes:

Warframe: > 601,731 players with 22 kills (I only can see my page ranking... so add the guys that played less and killed below 22)

Resogun: > 250k *the ranking just show the first 250k*

Contrast: > 30.5k likes *you can only like if you had the game*

Don't Starve: > 39.7k likes *you can only like if you had the game*

Blacklight Retribution Beta: 41.1k *you can only like if you had the game*

I can't check others games because I did't have them.

You can't definativly say that's the reason they are selling so much better tho. It could play a role sure but so could the lack of WiiU sales the pent up desire to move to next gen or the incredible launch line up. The reson I suggest its the reason I listed is the PS4 has also experienced outstanding sales. Has the PS brand also grown as much if not more?
