The only "connection" to insiderp was a claim made earlier in this thread because they googled searched it and insiderp appeared to be saying the same thing.

Thus because the claim seemed baseless, people attributed it to insiderp to immediately discredit it.
Classic Misdirection. Too bad it didn't work though , Sony has becoming really proficient at allowing rumors to stir, then swiftly dispelling them resulting in positive PR from a mess.


Inside Derp said it was 1mi DAY ONE...

Not true. But insiderp is still just a site making up stuff, so we shouldn't consider them.



I now proclaim Insiderp to have been saved and no matter how many people try to spin these numbers you can't deny that the playstation domination is well on the way. Some will say this is a marathon and not a sprint, I say not if you are usain bolt (ps4) GAME OVER.

Because not everyone likes to be short sighted.

has nothing to do with being short sighted its truth avoidance.   

when you are speaking of whats present now talking about whats to come  is irrelevant especially when youre talking about a singular subject 

lol you wish to disregard the rest of the generation and accuse me of truth avoidance... short sighted indeed.

Did you learn nothing at all from 360/ps3? nothing at all?

but thats not was being discuss we were talking about 2 games in particular.  not a catalog of games.  not games that are coming titanfall & infamous.   thats it.  so what i said stands.  i have both 360 & ps3 so i know first hand  not just someone throwing rocks across the fence hoping it hit a window


If we are talking about right now, why are you bringing up games older than a month. Or is it because thats where you decide to draw the boundary to suit your argument?

Either stick to 'right now' or take into account the generation. You cant draw boundaries to suit yourself.

Mark my words, PS4 is like Usain Bolt  recharging energy every 200M and running again and again !  Game Over.

But the article never mentioned Insiderp in any way, and had a different conclusion than the insiderp article that you just posted.  Seems like reaching to conclude that a news story that says it came from a Sony announcement, bares no mention of insiderp, and doesn't even say the same thing as insiderp was actually using insiderp all along.  I mean sure we didn't have the Sony confirmation, so this could have easily been a site looking for hits, but even if they ended up wrong I still wouldn't say that it had anything to do with insiderp.  


Perfectly reasonable assumption based on info at the time... not reaching in anyway. 

Hindsight is an exact science thats easy to master.

There are a number of peope, i  thsi thread, 3 or 4 since your last post,  still saying "so insiderp is right then, its legit" but you dont say a word.  I'm not surprised by this, just pointing it out.

 

 

 

 

You want me to address every single person that has made the same incorrect assumption?  Alright.  

HEY EVERYONE WHO IS SAYING THAT INSIDERP WAS RIGHT, THIS WAS IN NO WAY RELATED TO INSIDERP AND THERE WAS NEVER ANY EVIDENCE THAT IT WAS.  THIS IN NO WAY PROVES INSIDERP RIGHT, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE IT WASN'T THE STATEMENT THAT INSIDERP SAID ANYWAY.

 

I disagree, I think it was reaching because all you did was google anything that said 1million Infamous Sales.  If Insiderp had been the source of the original article then why would they have made a different statement from what Insiderp said?  Insiderp specifically said that Second Son sold that much at launch, these guys said that it was after 9 days.  That's why this can be right and Insiderp is still untrustworthy, but that cuts both ways the reason you can say that is because what these guys were saying isn't the same thing as Insiderp.  

There was very good reason not to trust the initial article as there was no corroboration of a statement from Sony and it was a small unheard of site, there was little to no reason to assume that the source was actually insiderp all along.  



...

Great sales.

3.5m+ is now a very real possibility.

Why is this such a big deal, why would I reach?  Seriously, this is hilarious.. like it matters.  I repeat, we already knew it was 1m!  And there is no reason for the sarcasm and over the top bolded caps response.  I'd expect better from you.

You said yourself you didnt trust the original article. I and others merely offered a possible source early on. 

Nothing is said, people even agree, then when the source is confirmed its decided that the original potential link to insiderp shows that people are in "denial" and "reaching".  Thats the real reaching right there. 

Thats my last word.  Over to you, I know you'll want to come back at me... but I wont read it.

 

 

 

It's not a big deal, it's simply a discussion about why I think your initial assumptions were incorrect.  

 

But fuck it, man.  Don't even know why someone would attempt to have a conversation with you.  



...

So it's sellthrough and digital sales according to Sony. That's an amazing number and even more than Titanfall X1 was able to achieve. Infamous is not even bundled for free so even more impressive



IIRC insiderp doesn't said 9 days,why they were right?
