I don't think they are worried at MS because Titanfall is nearly here

because they do keep selling out, for example amazon has no stock till next week, there not impossible to get tho, but can be tricky if you just suddenly decide to go out and get one.

Author of the article needs to get hired by Life magazine. That was sooooooo gooooood.... I had a mental orgasm just reading that... I need to sit down and smoke a cigarette now.

But you dont smoke...  =(



What a laugher this one is....

I doubt many could disagree with the fact that the PS4 is selling about as good as anyone could have hoped for. I think that if anyone thought they would have over 4.5 million by now, that would be great. Let alone nearly 5.5 million.

I also would think that M$ was hoping to sell better than they have, but are not disappointed that they have 3 and a half million out the door. I am sure they were hoping for 4 million plus by now.

We don't know all of the facts behind the launch for M$. They may have known that with limiting the launch countries and gimping the system with an unfinished OS, it would slow the sales a bit. Maybe they are at or above what their projections were. We are all looking at how good the PS4 is selling and acting like the XB1 is selling bad. I think the system had a good launch. I think the little things that weren't ready before are what is holding them back now. It also doesn't help that they price is bad, but if they had all of the other things fixed, this wouldn't be such an issue.

I agree with others, that it is common to work out deals with retailers to give incentives to help a system sell better. They obviously want their retail partners to sell more and get the stock out the door. A real price drop will happen in July to the $449 price. That will allow them to continue with these same type of promotions and get the price closer to the PS4 in the second half of the year.



It is near the end of the end....

The article is definitely biased, but let's not forget that PS4 is now selling almost 3 times as much as the XOne (and still without Japan) and it wasn't like this in the beginning. I am really worried about Xbox.

I don't care. All I can say at the Moment I own both Consoles and they're both not worth to buy at this point in time. I mean PS4 is so next Gen like VW Beetle. Things just ain't workin'. Wanted my Kids to watch a DVD the last Weekend, guess what, Not working, couldn't upload Music to listen to in the Background as I did often on my 360, just Two!? apps at the Moment (IGN and ViDZONE) I own three Games: Knack, Killzone and Resogun. I am NOT liking them much and what I don't really like is that the Games I adore for the PS4 don't really seem to have Multiplayer (Infamous, The Order). It really looks like that when the Dust has settled Sony's for great SP Exclusives, while MS offers you the whole MP Package.
I'm really tired of all those Fanboy Shit. Just Face it Guys PS4 may be 1080p, but is NOT Next Gen.

Ok MS's Console - I bought coz I really liked my 360. But after seeing what Direction the One was heading, I really wanted to go PS only first.
The biggest Fault in my Opinion is sticking so hard to Kinect. It's ruining the Price and may affect the Specs. In Comparison to PS4
I must say don't see a visual difference between my PS4 and my One, I've just one TV and can not run them both at the same time. I'd say Ryse may be the best looking Game. But it may be as well, coz I hate KZ so much, which is a bad reason to judge about stuff.
MS big ugly Power brick, c'mon really, why

Best thing both consoles have to offer right now, they have amazing controllers (PS4 why is your shit always glowing, no wonder batteries last just 5-6 hours).

Yeah and one thing both Consoles betrayed me was a feature I thought they'd both promised, which both aren't ably to perform - I was so stupid to believe that when you pause a game, return to the Dash you could pick up the Game at the same point - the same motion on screen, as you left it - that's working I know - but I really believed the game could be picked up at the same point after you shut down your console and return the day after - this would've been a real next gen feature.

All around a poor Performance so far from both.
Sony has a good time at the moment riding the hype train - I hope it's not a train to no where.
MS sitting in the corner cleaning things up after their messy PR performance - now it's going to be a catch up game in the years to come.
And Sony are you able to bring a Exclusive Game with MP or at least 4 player Coop ? - its fucking next Gen.
