Ronster316 on 29 October 2013

Wow, 250+ posts here in only 4 hours.

God knows how many hundreds of posts over at Gaf & N4G.

Yup, this game sure is making one hell of an impact.

I say keep talking about it sony mob, the more you do, the more attention will be drawn to it, and the better it will sell

Pfft, you've got it totally wrong.

We're going to play it on PC instead.


I think the real hypocricy is that Titanfall is somehow validated as a bonafide XBO exclusive when it appears on both 360 and PC. Meanwhile any game that is not fully exclusive to PS4 doesn't count or doesn't even exist in some eyes. Planetside 2 is also a FPS multiplayer only MMO style game, but is also vailable for PC........so it gets dismissed.

And the usual response, "I'll just play it on PC".

Sure you will >_>.............

 

Just like all the games before it, most will get these games on Consoles, because they are console gamers, mostly exclusive to them as well. I personally don't care what is available for PC ever because regardless I don't like PC gaming style. They might as well be exclusive to the consoles they are on.

No, I'll be called "fake" or "trying to seem unbiased". No one is unbiased, as you know, and while I don't often defend the Xbox or many of its fans, to rid the forums of a lot of the crud has to start with eliminating antagonizing posts, no matter who starts it.

On the flip side, I'm one of the people that cuts Kowen some slack after he's attacked by groups and groups of folks! That has to account for something.

To be fair you do do that for Kowen. :)

Look you know me. I have always wore my heart on my sleeve. At least I dont make outrageous claims these days. Remember my previous graphics threads back in the day?

I feel I have very valid points, and reasonable ones on here lately. I'll try and cut the nitpicky comments out though. Maybe then you can back me. ;)

like arguing about external versus internal hard drives with somebody who says it isn't that big of a deal?

Obviously playing it pc means your not a ps4 fanboy, my previous statement does not apply to you:).

IDK man, slight is not how I would describe it. Most of the Industry Analysts I have seen are going with  Pre Order Sales Data, Trending searches, etc. And they all point ot PS4 selling at least double XBO numbers. When they have garnered a couple millions under their belt by December's end it will become obvious to the broad public which one to jump to because like the lemmings the common consumers are they will go with whats most popular. Not saying XBO numbers will be bad by any standard, just not nearly as good as PS4's. Not to mention Sony can simply sell to far more countries than MS whose strongest features will not be ready in many for a while. Japan launch early 2014 I believe and at that point PS4 will have a market that MS obviously cannot touch.  US is XBO's only fortress of solitude and its not looking like they will have that same lead.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/25/xbox-one-ps4-will-each-ship-25-to-3-million-in-2013-says-analyst

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2425191,00.asp

There is a couple of articles about the most recent analysts talking about sales of the two.  Any recent analysis points to a slight edge for one of the other.  The only reports i could find saying more than 2 to 1 for ps4 is from before the x1 was before the 180.  

It doesn't matter if you can sell in more countries if you are supply constrained.  Demand for these consoles is such that their sales will be determine by supply for well into next year.  I have no doubt the ps4 will sell more in the long run, but initially it will be fairly close.  


But what I am saying is Sony simply has the ability to ship more than MS at the moment. It could change but the reason MS can't has something to do with yields. Sony is releasing in more territories right off the bat, if you had MS and Sony only able to ship at the the same exponential rate, selling out each time before being replenished, Sony ends up gaining a sizable lead in no time.

Example(Hypothetical): PS4 has 25 Countries x Z # of Consoles (x4 shipments before years End)

will still forever come to more than....

XBO has 10 Countries x Z # of COnsoles (x4 shipments before years End)

With the general rule that all or most of the 10 COuntries coincide within the 25 Countries.

?? are you suggesting the number of countries has something to do with the number of consoles being produced??  that doesn't make any sense.  You don't ship a fixed variable of a console to each country.  The amount of countries the system is available in has abosutely nothing to do with supply.  

The reason microsoft is launching in fewer countries has to do with xbox live and kinect speech support, has nothing to do with production supply.  The countries the x1 is launching in will actually get bigger shipments than the ps4 initially if they are matched in production ability, of course, almost all of the launch supply of both consoles will be coming to north america...


Im suggesting that at this time for every XBO being shipped there is 2-3 PS4's being shipped. If both were to sell out (which they will) that still leaves it at XBO=1 and PS4=2-3. We already know the Preorders are skewed this way with most places offering twice as many preorders for PS4 than XBO. My store personally has 40+ preorders on PS4 while 12XBO preorders and this is pretty much a company wide thing. We have been told to expect similar shipments of both after launch. If Demand is at maximum for the holidays with them constantly selling out, how can XBO possibly be "just about even" with PS4?

As far as Planetside 2, don't mistake not caring with double standards. PC's arn't consoles, and if a game coming out on two different MS consoles means it's not exclusive.... ohwell:)

I hope Killzone plays better then the previous killzones. They were boring.

well, that is a much better argument that the number companies times a fixed variable  Not sure why you even went that route...  Anyway, if what you say holds than obviously the ps4 will sell more.  It is one of those have to wait and see kind of things though...  You would think that these professional analysts would have more information on production abilities then you are me, but I guess they could be wrong...

Some people didn't want to believe this coming from the horses mouth. so this is not a "rumor"

Some of those same people were quick to "confirm" rumors from people that are outsiders.

Anything to give blind support to your side.

Are there any neutral people here on this site? this site should be called fan wars. Only difference here than places like negaf is that no one side has an overwhelming number of supporters.................yet
