Puggsly was saying elsewhere that Fable Anniversary was running like crap. I would have bought it today if they'd had a copy at EB. Any confirmation?

Looking forward to controlling my own HDD on 'The One' as well. There is no use having games I've already sold sitting there taking up space and I have no idea how big they are or how much room is left. I'd also like my box to call me Recon rather than my 'real' name and in Camilla Luddington's voice, or Jen Taylor's. Or Liz Hale doing Bastilla Shan. Please. I'll pay extra.

I haven't heard that. I'm suprised by how low the Metacritic average is though, lower than most HD remakes, many of the reviewers are claiming that the games mechanic's haven't aged well. 

Jen Taylor should be coming, Microsoft is working on Cortana, their competitor to Apple's Siri, a reputable leaker confirmed the rumors that Microsoft hired Jen Taylor to do the voice acting for Cortana. Supposedly Cortana support for Xbox One is coming in 2015, I can't wait personally. It would be awesome if Microsoft got a few other prominent video games voice actresses (and actors to for that matter for the female gamers) to get more voice choices. I'd even go as far as to say that having some popular female Japanese character voices for Cortana would be a big selling point for the console in Japan, all of the nerdy Otakus over there would love that feature.

I heard that in a thread by pokoko a while back.  Talking about what M$ could do in Japan as well.  I'd also buy something like HAL from 2001 just for a laugh.  'What are you doing Recon?  If you attempt to disKinect me I will release the gas!  Just kidding,  'I' don't have gas....!"  The tech can't be far off and as an add-on and a system seller it would absolutely rock.   She could soft sell me the latest fitness thingy saying "Have you put on a few pounds or does my sensor need recalibrating again" and joke "You know I'm not a real, live girl right?  "Nah that's just this chickensuit and I really don't care" I'll reply "Now find me some Elder Scrolls Online."   Such a lovely dream....

^ Didn't Seece make the league? I think it was Seece so you will have to ask him, Make True Achievement account and get a invite from him to join the leagues


Yeah PM Seece here or join TA, search Dynosaw and message him over there.  Then accept the invites.  The site is worth joining anyway.  I wonder if the PS fans take advantage of their equivalent.  The ach. solutions and less partisan threads are a big plus.  Sorry, I shouldn't promote another site.  He'll be bye here shortly I'm sure.

I don't think PS fans are as obssesd with Trophies as Xbox fans are with achievments and gamerscore.

I just noticed that VGChartz adjusted their Jan 25th hardware numbers. Xbox One gained an additional 5k up to 77k, PS4 lost 5k down to 146k.

Here's my adjusted sales comparison to other consoles during the 4th week of their first January's: 

Wii- 251k
PS4- 146K
360- 110K
Xbox One- 77k
PS3- 74K
Wii U- 34k

The adjustment puts the Xbox One ahead of the PS3 for the week.

Just a heads up, the 360 is at 38k for the 25th and 44k for the 18th.

I was comparing the same week for the 360's first January, not the current sales for the 360.  

Oh, I fail...like really bad. That's what I get for skim reading I guess >_<

It's kind of sad to see the X1 do worse than the 360 was during that time period though.

Don't forget though, the 360 was available in more countries at this point and it had some supply issues in December that the Xbox One didn't have, so it's January numbers were higher since people were buying it as stock became available. Plus the 360 didn't have any competition during it's first year, as it was the first console out that gen. The 360's sales fell to around the same baseline that the Xbox One seems to be at during February, 73k on the lowest week. The Xbox One is leading the 360 and PS3 overall at this point, and it's leading the PS3 weekly as well.

Yeah I actually just saw this thread and the 360 was the only one that had an increase during January so I figured it had to have something to do with constrained supply earlier.

But it really only dropped to 73k at the lowest for that year? That's kind of surprising really since I thought it would be a bit lower. 

I honestly expect the X1 to drop below 60k though sometime this year.

73k was the 360's lowest point for February, 61k the first week of March was the lowest point the 360 reached it's first year. 

Thanks

So they'll be tracking pretty similar for the start of the year it seems.
