Funny because here in the states people say bone to describe having sex.  Let's bone or we boned as examples.  Most likely coming from the word boner, as a word for erect penis.  It works the same way as saying screw or fuck.  Which also doubles as a insult or a negative.  Like your screwed or your effed.  People will say your boned.   So xbone sounds either weirdly sexual or insulting.  MS embraced the term but I for one don't say it out loud as it sounds Stanley perverse.  No one want to say " hey you want to check out my xbone, or do you want to play with my xbone."

Ohhhhh I didn't know... for exemple I watched some espisodies of the TV series Bones... I thought the name was cool and alright.

Well lets see...

-PS4 is $100 cheaper and the hardware is being sold at a loss by Sony
-Sony is giving away free PS4 games to anyone that plays online
-Sony is charging less for their online
-PS4 is more powerful than Xbox One
-Xbox One has had some of the worst PR of any console in recent memory
-Retailers are still having to put up signs to clear up misinformation about Xbox One
-Sony has been an Internet darling while Xbox One has seen constant bashing

So yeah it would be pretty pathetic if the PS4 didn't sell more in January.

I always laugh when people talk about a resurgent Sony and then give the PS4 as a shining example. Well it's easy to be resurgent when your competitors shoot themselves in their foot and you're willing to take a loss on hardware.  It's not like Apple or Samsung are going to shoot themselves in the foot so it's highly unlikely that Sony's (TVs/Tablets/Smartphones) will see the same kind of success against their competitors .


Thankfully in the real world, global sales are what's really important and the PS4 has been that shining example in doing what right after Sony shot themselves in the foot with the PS3.

PS4 is not beeing sold at a loss, the cost to manufacture it is 381$, they removed the PSeye from the package to cut the 100$ of the price and make it cheaper than the ONE, Sony said theyd never sell a console at a loss again.

 

Dont make stuf up. Also all that everything you listed mean is that the PS4 is a better deal than the One for consumers and Sony isnt making a resurgence cause it never went away, PS3 didnt sell like PS2 but it was pretty sucessfull (sold more than the 360), it sucked financially tough cause of how expensive the Cell processor was. 


You were referring to Legend11, right?

I'm not so sure it's just way to hard to find a PS4 right now I can't even find it on the target website anymore. Best buy is still sold out also. All these places have an X1 though which was not the case just last month when I was looking online in my area (Houston).

100% depends on stock

Sony is still doing a pretty awful job of getting inventory into stores. It is certainly possible though.

Nice to see you here again.

GS is receiving some supply from Sony? I saw in Facebook BestBuy received a big one this week (50-70 units per store).

Yes I was sorry for quoting you out of contex by acident

I guess if the Xbone "wins" January, we'll see a February thread. And so on and so forth.

As for whether it happens or not, who knows. Anyone claiming one way or the other is purely guessing. Can't sell what isn't being shipped.

The new supply in the retail in US are supporting my prediction... good numbers to come... I guess PS4 will outsell Xbone in VGC next week numbers.

Pretty safe bet, they were basically tied last week and now we see linesups in stores after sony got more stock in in the US.
