Uhh is that tomshardware is pretty reliable right?  Obviously I can't link to famitsu and find the original quote from Shuhei Yoshida, but that sounds pretty damning.  

Sony and Microsoft aren't anywhere close to where they should be sales wise.  The winning console should be sold out pretty much for the whole of the first year.  That's just basic history for games consoles.  

I don't know tomshardware but if it was part of interview that exist it should be linked there. Anyway they didn't say they took out the DRM because of MS fumble, just that they saw how much the comunity cared about it. Meaning, they saw the opportunity for a jab.

So PS4 being the fastest selling console ever up to now (around 10M shipped as of June 30th) is a fumble that allowed WiiU to recover? fuck logic.

OMG you're bringing up that broken point again...  I made a thread about that "fastest selling console ever" BS and it was pretty much conclusive that it's a BS title.  If a console is going to be in first place, then its guaranteed that they will sell out on launch day...  Is this news to you?  Because on launch day every store has lineups of 100 people waiting for a console, and only 10 of them usually end up with a console.  The only thing Sony did was stockpile their system for longer before launch....  

What are you talking about??? Latest report Sony shipped 10M PS4 up to June 30th, about 500k above Wii on the same timeframe... so I really don't get your point.

But why did you ignore the part about the DRM? You decided to read the links you posted maybe?? It is pretty clear that MS reveal gave them marketing Ideas, not that they decided to take DRM because of it. Just in case you decide to ignore I put a link for you.
