Halo 4 was the fastest selling video game of all time?

Well, we know this isn't true.

I don't even know what his one more comment is supposed to mean and I don't really care. I already have mine paid off and it will sell really well. Good enough to get every major third party game and lots of exclusives.

If you are an Xbox fan... then this ^^^^ is really all that matters. To be honest as long as Sony beats them well, but not so well that 3rd party skip the console, I think that is enough, for both Sony and MS Fans. Sure MS won't be happy but as long as end users don't lose out, thats all that matters.

I was wondering how long it would be before someone commented on the "one more" little jab.  At this point, I can't believe M$ would bother even trying to get the rulers out to measure things...


You cant believe MS would bother keeping track of how many pre-orders they have? What?

Yea, WHAT?


Landguy1 cant believe that MS is bothering to keep track of preorders. But i mean why wouldnt they? Isnt that what they suppose to do to measure demand?

No, my comment was more to the idea tha M$ would "whip out their dick" (in this case preorder #'s) and want to get measure up against the PS4 in a public situation.  All indications have been that the XB1 is significantly behind the PS4.  Why bother to get the haters something to hate about.

See, i can forgive him for saying fastest sellung game because that can be a simple case of misspeaking. However, i can not forgive him for saying he can say MS can say they have 1 more preorders than sony... because that is just a flat out bold face lie.

sales number don't really matter (they do but it's just one element)... profit margin and attached rate and services sold is where it is at and at that game I think MS is in a better position than Sony even with a lower sale number... at 500 bucks they probably don't lose much money if any and they are really good at monetizing the XBL service and apps and all.... I wouldn't be surprised that this time again XB will be more profitable for MS and even devs even if they end up third in sales....

but we'll see, this gen will really be interesting, at least for people that care about those numbers and all... because the race will be way closer all things considered than last gen between PS/XB

Someone should tell him sony wasnt playing a game and that you cant just say you have one more than your competition if you feel like it

Sure they could.  Of course, they would be lying.

Simple question. How do you know that Sony isn't lying?

I looked it up. It is the fastest selling Microsoft Studios game of all time.

No idea how he translated that into what he said, unless it's a big time fuck up by the journalist.

Lol, why would they?  That would also be very easy to call them out on if the first week the PS4 doesn't have more than 1M sales WW (all terrorities that were able to preorder at that point combined.)
