Erm... the thing is sold out last we heard. How can it be any better than that?

You and your doom threads... sigh...

Have you managed to get yours yet?

This isn't Talledega Nights. It's not "First or last". There's 2nd, 3rd, hell, there's even fourth! Maybe the PS4 did well. Maybe it didn't. As long as it's successful enough to garner great third party support, net Sony a profit, and spawn a successor, then that's good enough. Same goes for the Xbox One and Wii U. They may not beat the PS4 but if their owners are happy and their parent companies are in the black, then yippee!

You didn't get the reference. Back when the PS4 launched in the UK, Knack outsold Mario 3D World, there was a big fight over that. Of course 3D World still outsold Knack globally by a big margin, but for some people, only the UK mattered. 

That's where the UK = the world began.


So are you joking with what yous aid or being serious? Because no one can still be upset over something like that? Like really? I thought the Knack outselling it in Uk was stupid myself but really lol.

On Topic:

I kind of don't get what the OP is saying here by comparing the launches. Was teh Wii U cheaper when it released and didn't it realease during the Holidays as well? And the Ps4 being more expensive and released in Feb sold roughly the same as a console that was cheaper and released during the Holiday period? Also from reports didn't the PS4 basically sell out of it's stock and is basically on it's 3rd shipment already?

I guess I just don't get the point of this thread and why the OP made it. Is he making fun of some people or something maybe? I don't get it....smh



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Now combine that 322.00 to US numbers, plus EU numbers and you have a MASSIVE PLAYSTATION DOMINATION.

Guess Japan really is a portable focus region. Wonder if the PS4 will push vita sells?

I was looking at those threads and I couldn't stop laughing. There were people from both sides, Sony fans who really thought Knack outselling 3D World was a huge milestone and Nintendo fans who really took offence to it. 

I for one don't care, those were fun times, and I start to use UK = the world as a joke ever since.

Better example is this week XboxOne had a price cut in UK, and people started reporting it as it was worldwide.

Shall we start the funeral proceedings, or come back to reality?

PS4 so far had a better launch than PS3, outside the holiday period no less.

Since PS3 wasn't that far behind Wii in Japan, [at this point] PS4 beating Wii is still on the table.
