This post is one massive assumption with notihng to back it up.. .... Ps4 launch lineup is no weaker then x1..or any console launch.. period. Titanfall will sell more on 360 then x1 by a mile, 80 = million versus a few million install base.

Sorry but the PS4 launch lineup is weaker than the X1. And if Titanfall isn't a X1 system seller than neither is Infamous. Not to mention... What else is left for the PS4 in 2014? DC won't do it.


Are you serious? X1 launch lineup has a lower metacritic rating then ps4.... People don;t buy consoles at launch for launch ttiles not do game sstop at launch. Sony's first party speaks for itself.

So you expect ps4 sales to drop to Wii u levels then since most PS fans got the ps4.....

 

Let us all forget the 2.3 million ps4s back ordered at GameStop.... And the fact the ps4 outsold the Xbox in the u.s, and the fact you can't get a ps4 anywhere right now, can't wait till a couple of months pass, I'm tired of talking to Xbox fans who throw away the power difference and tout its the same for 100 bucks more crap in person and in the forums 

I'm suprized someone is still bringing up the extremly minor GPU difference now.  Espically when the problems have shown up in use, which isn't the Xbox.  Paper is nice, but real world use is where I game. 

To refresh your memory, when the PS4 specs were out with a 1.8 Tflops GPU and some were still hoping for the Sweeney request 2.5 Tflops I stated it would be largely insignifianct.  And now the differences are even less signifiant than that.  If you want to make a big deal about it still, and ignoring the extra processors the Xbox One has and speculated superior software engineer, I guess you can.  But it reminds me of people complaining as the Wii outsold the HD twins. (Only to be later surpassed by the Xbox 360 in the UK and USA.)

As I said previously, I expected the PlayStation to have a great launch - event the PS3 sold better out the gate than the Xbox 360 in the USA.   It has many nestalgic followers and they are hungry for a new system.   I'm sure it will be a fine system that makes many people happy. 

Kind of amazing isn't it how well the Xbox One is selling even at $100 more?  To be fair though, it does have more features than the PS4 with Skype, vioce regontion, and no annoying controller light reflecting off your TV.  Plus, rumble triggers are like having a super tasty donut, then having the most amazing glaze poured on top.

What's amazing is how One fans keep telling themselves there is a small gap in GPU power.  The downgrades to every Xbox One game (have you seen the release version of Forza 5 with some assets straight out of a PS1/PS2 game?), while PS4 games either looked the same or better than their E3 counterparts, says everything.  The gap is there and it is significant.  And once we see the next Uncharted and GOW, that gap is going to be all the more noticable.  But you keep believing in that secret sauce.

Ps4 will dominate the xboxone! When both consoles are released worldwide in all the countries then we will see whose no.1! Ps4 of course!

This is just a survey so it's kind of just irrelevant anecdotal evidence like any Target thread Max makes about PS4's selling much more at his local store lol. Fucking iPads though.

And I see people clutching to this logic that PS4 sales could have been higher but Sony "forced" retailers to hold stock until Black Friday... that's a retailer decision, and Walmart made the same one. They held back both for Black Friday.

good thing you can claim that all you want. fact remains, I was right. It must pain you to see that

Can you direct me to where I said you'd be wrong? Or to factual proof you were right? You claimed Xbone would not do anything close to PS4 numbers because your Target got less consoles. Not only is "not close" a vague, subjective claim, but AFAIK there are no hard numbers to support you. Even something as unreliable as this site has Xbone within a few hundred thousand units in the US IIRC.

I don't think anyone being rational expected the Xbox One to launch in the US with as many units as PS4 when MS was launching in more territories. Do not confuse laughing at your silly anecdotal evidence with saying you're wrong. I can say "hey I saw a dead cat on the side of the road today, that means the Broncos will win tomorrow!". They might win, but does that make my logic right? It's adorable though, please keep the Target inventory threads coming please.

I said less than 30% more than 10% difference with 750k being the min... not very vague is it? Keep trying

More like people making excuses.

No excuses needed, we don't even know the numbers, and sony most likely has low stock. They still have sold more in the US...what excuses?

Sounds like excuses to me.

Well you should know!

There were more Xbox One's available during Black Friday. The system wasn't sold out for two weeks aside for small Black Friday shipments.

I think one thing that no one seems to be taking into account here - perhaps PS4 has less stock on shelves because it still has to service the massive number of pre-orders that it has. Why do people seem to think that Sony can ship consoles to them and put tons of consoles of shelves.

So stock may well be coming in, and then going straight back out to those pre-order people... with only a small component of that being on shelf. I mean in the UK it's unlikely that you can get a console before Xmas if you pre-ordered after August (or something like that).

But that is only a guess... but it seems like a reasonable guess...

But then that would also make me question XboxOne pre-orders... 

All very confusing.

Because outside of this site and a few other on-line communities many people actually want an Xbox. At least in most English speaking areas.

Black Friday is a USA shopping day. And I would best the average consumer there doesn't know about the new Xbox, but they would choose an Xbox anyway. It's far more popular and chosen by more communities than the PlayStation.

PlayStation USA has their fans, but I think most of them already got them.

So you expect ps4 sales to drop to Wii u levels then since most PS fans got the ps4.....

40% more power - minor difference...it's the same as upgrading your video card on PC it is significant, but please keep up the damage control. The ps4 is outselling x1 in the US...and will be near double x1 by next week.... Ps4 is already ahead in the US, but keep thinking target is going to change that. Next week will be fun. Oh BTW, the US biggest game retailer?? Yeah PS4 outsold x1 by a considerable margin.

 

More features like what? Cable pas thru that sacrifices gaming? When other devices already do it better?? Everyone already has cable, streaming is the future. x1 relying on the oldest tech around. Cable is yesterdays tech.

 

If you think 720P versus 1080p is small difference the you are in massive denial. Playing AC4 on PS4 after the patch is a major improvement. More smooth edges, sharper image and much better IQ = Small difference LMAO.

Oh look at dat cherery picking. looks at metacritic, PS4 launch titles have a higher meta average, leaves to play superior multi-plats. FYI, that article is old and before multi[ple x1 launch games got reviewed. They got called out for that article for a reason. Didnt stop more peeps from buying ps4 over x1.
