Just imagine if the Drill turns out to be right with his "globally in the US" prediction

What was his prediction?


During Titanfall weeks and the month after, vgc had Xbox One outselling PS4 by 5k. So he predicted that Xbox One will be taking the lead in the US "soon". 

After the kinect removal he updated "soon" to mean end of 2014 or early 2015, the Xbox One will out the PS4 lifetime in the US.

He has been made fun of 4 straight months as PS4 won every NPD (even me made fun of him). 

But that will be really crazy if Xbox One manage to close the gap much in the US. I predicted 660 K (6 times destiny week) in the US in your prediction thread but that was before I knew about the pricw drop.  MS bet is paying off big time. 

Oh, well no that'll not happen this year, 99.999% guarantee it.


It will not happen this year, but the gad might really shrink and because of that his prediction might not look as silly it did back then.

They never said " we shipped 10M", it could be 9M when they said that, it was a good PR tactic.

Also Us are not the center of the world, i dont think they shipped all their consoles there

Whatever, it's beside the point. They obviously shipped a lot of consoles even if it was 9m, yet they're out of stock everywhere.

They don't need to have shipped all their consoles to the US, well aware of that.

your thread title is a mess. Yo8 make it sound like they've just sold everythung they shipped and more (because they didn't ship 10M yet) online. 

So you think they don't have any sitting in stores around the country waiting to go on sales at midnight. 

I despair. 

they have a lot sitting in stores in europe.

Maybe try reading. Clearly says online, I'm aware there are shipments in stores, in other countries ect. I'm not assuming anything or making it sound like anything, but despiar away anyway.

It's MS had a big XB1 shipment so it shouldn't be going out of stock anywhere.

if it shouldn't be going out of stock anywhere maybe the shipment is smaller than you think? Don't forget MS are kings of spin and that 10M shipped soon can sound so much better than it really is. 

Sony's have gone out of stock on various retailers too but you know why that is? Because those retailers had limited shipments for the time bring. You don't say, wow SOny shipped a shit ton this quater so that shouldn't be happening. 

And if you're going to tell me to read something properly at least read MS's PR properly without exagerating it further than they already did. They said soon they will ship 10M not shipped so if you're going to be picky get your own headline right first.

Since when did PS4 go out of stock in so many places all at once? And PS4 is in high demand, of course it's gonna go out of stock.

It's hard to imagine MS were that far off 10m, 9m is a believeable figure.

1M off 10M is a big number. PS4 bundles went out of stock recently in a few places. 

NewEgg being 1 place. 

here's another http://www.walmart.com/ip/PS4-GTA-V-and-The-Last-of-Us-Holiday-Bundle-with-Choice-of-2-Extra-Games/40635882

And I can't load the other ones, most liklely because too many people are doing it at the same time. 

 

OK got a few more open: 

Gamestop, target and walmart all show out of stock on that link you used. Loads of their bundles out of stock. But all that means is they have limited availability for those PS4's. The heavy damage for both will be done after midnight. 



Wait who says they haven't shipped 10m or. Even more by now??? One way or the other nobody knows... MS king of spin maybe I have seen more spin from Sony across all their marks than MS in general a lot more... Then again you don't have to spin much when you are as successful than MS but that's not the point... Nobody knows how much they actually shipped by now... Ine thing for sure all that over shipment they apparently did that was collecting dust seems to have flown of the shelves in record time compared to any other brand unless PS4 overshipped even more than MS maybe???



Would like to see them release more of the Sunset Overdrive bundle.

Actually, Microsoft said it themselves. Microsoft also knows exactly how much they have shipped.

Also deflecting to Sony? Hilarious, but its been done before.

What can you expect.. Xbox 360 is the dominant gaming brand in the u.s... You think they would rather get a PlayStation 4 at 400 or the new Xbox for 330 with games?? Easy choice for a 360 gamer who is looking to move nexgwn.. And Sony CANNOT cut the price.. The company is basically bankrupt
