Now I think back to FamousMortimer saying how the leaks were controlled to cover for a bad January NPD.

Everyone thought he was full of it.

yeah i was thinking about that too. i personally didnt believe it but damn was he right. seems those Gaf leaks were legit. 

WHile you need to know who to trust and who not to, many times GAF brings some legit leaks.

I find it comical the amount of hatred that site gets around here. There is a reason it is the biggest of the big.

GAF is bigger than IGN & Gamespot ?

per : PS4 was #1 in sales for next gen consoles in January, nearly doubling the nearest next gen competitor.

 


Ok I think it's time to dig up some old posts like this one by Dark_Feanor where he was gloating when XB1 was slightly before PS4 in December NPD (you know, 900k XB1 and still available at retail, 850K for PS4 and completely sold out etc.).

I know he's banned so it's a bit unfair but he's not perma ban so that's ok.

My friend, I will tell you for the last time here.

Anedoctal evidence is anedoctal.

Don't you remember the week before Christmass? It was the same thing, after 2 weeks with low supply Sony had a big shippment of PS4 for the US. We have the same kind of reaction here. And on that case, there were more retailers with stock (Amazon, Walmart and BB) and the stock last longer.

What about the BlackFriday week? It was a doom and gloon because there were a much more XOne after that week and no PS4.

And, at the end of the day we had two NPD reports that showed that I was more close to the real figure than many of you here (and NeoGaf).

The fact that the PS4 has been sold out dosen't mean it's a very high demand. Is this that hard to understand? OR you won't be satisfied with next month NPD numbers again?

Was he also the one claiming there were pallets of unsold PS4s at Costco?

When it comes to leaks and such? I would say so.

Maybe I am out of the loop, but I don't recall hearing about devs hanging around IGN and/or Gamestot forums, nor do I hear about leaks coming from them. NeoGAF gets quoted much more than IGN or Gamespot ever have.

Why? They are filthy rich.

Surely they deserve to be met with failure when they make mistakes?
