I heard the game was good? Why'd so many people try and return it!?


They didn't... This is a joke thread

What's the problem? Treat Ljink like he's dumb now?


I've seen to many people take an obvious joke seriously on VGC to assume that people understands it. Sorry!

Some of the best bundles have games that I would never play or don't care about. Like the COD:AW, X1 bundle for example. Its a great bundle even though I would never play the game but the extra HDD space and the limited edition console and controller still make it a great bundle.

$100 for 500 additional GB doesn't sound like a good deal to be honest.. I can get a 3TB external USB 3.0 HDD for that, which the X1 can use without limitations - PS4 still needs to install games to the internal HDD


But you also get a limited edition console and controller.  Its the best looking limited the edition X1 console so far since the Sunset Overdrive one isn't really much of a special or limited edition console its just white and that has been done before.

Umm.... that was a joke that I made. People usually don't get my jokes because they seem too real.

This post is tongue in cheek I presume because VGC refuses to accurately track PS4 Sales numbers based on concrete information we've already had. I'm assuming this means that PS4 is ~900k undertracked?

Ps4 was adjusted up today by 900k. Seems like 300-500k are still lacking (germany 100k, 10M announcement 250k, some in uk, etc).


Ah. You can't imagine how frustrating this kind of topic is to people who don't understand satire.

Still, glad that PS4 is undertracked for the time being (makes me feel better when Sony beats our predictions)

Well blame my poor english :)

vgc could be undertracking ps4 for the cases I said but overtracking in other situations (altough i don't think is the case) ps4 is still on course to surprise us with 20M by year end.

I know Destiny was a disapointment, but really? No, this is bs.

Poor english is better than poor grammar, the latter of which you aren't a victim of.

 

Looking at the situation currently, PS4 would almost have to sell 1 Mil a week in December to reach 20M by 01.01.15

How do you expect that to happen? Is there historical launch data that suggests this is possible? I play for the blue team and I badly want to see Playstations continued success but 20M looks ambitious today.

VGC at 18M when Sony announces 20M at my birthday on January 6th? You have a deal. I will report the returned bundles by the time it happens.
