Moderated for what?  Was anyone affended by this?


I dont think anyone needs to offended to be able to identify trolling. The first line is definitly unneccessary and flaimbait. pure and simple. Its definitly trying to mock people who would buy the ps4 camera. Im glad to see the mods actually act quickly this time. Unlike yesterday where the poster actually outright insulted ps4 fans



Around the Network

streaming is a big feature, no way around it.



If it is a deliberate tactic, then it must be said that it would be a pretty smart thing to do.

Somehow things that are "supply constrained" have a nice sales boost when a new shipment arrives.

Yeah I get you but that's like saying you are 'forced to buy a powerful GPU if you want a PS4.' It's a feature that many people are excited about, and the main differentiator for the X1.


lol that's such a poor analogy.

Kinect 2.0 is decimating PS Camera sales, they should've packed it in like our lord Xbox did.
Praise the Holy Trinity.

You have a knack for writing funny shit, sir.

I was totally affended by this.

For real.



So 1 camera for nearly every 6 PS4s? Wow, give it a few more months and Sony will have sold as many cameras as MS will have sold Xbox Ones. I kid of course, but I was just thinking about what kind of numbers the camera had done today. I imagine sales will continue to be good especially when they add more functionality.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I'd say less than 1 in 6 is an ok level of sales, nothing to brag about and not a failure. Not sure point of thread.

if this attatch rate continues and PS4 sold around 100 million that means the camera would sell around 15 million. this camera doesnt cost much to make, its R&D isnt that high either because it uses existing tech and they barely marketed it. as of right now this made Sony around 54 million in revenue. its quite a success for what it is, and it will continue to sell even more, because streaming is only gaining popularity. this is a pure profit machine for sony, even if they arent making much profit per unit, its still making them more than they even expected it.

I thought the point was that the Sony wildly underestimated the demand, and that if it was freely available, it could possibly be 2 out of every 6 or more.  Twitch has proven to be a killer selling point that hasn't gotten enough press.
