What Kowen said. damn........time to loose the mandatory kinect MS.

Good thing its Easter weekend and im about to leave work. By Monday hopefully the worst will be over lol.

That AND a $100 off will be what they need to do to compete in months they aren't releasing the most hyped game of the year.  Doubt MS will do that, though.  April is going to be ugly.  Sony has stock now in stores and MS doesn't have another Titanfall and $50 pricecut coming.

5 millions. 13 countries. Massive.

PS4 is available in 72 countries and it shipped only 2 millions more.

What's your take on that, fanboys?


5 MIL Shipped 

7 MIL Sold to consumers

Thats the difference


Irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.


really? according to VG there are 800k XBO sitting on shelfs. While the PS4 is just now catching up to demand. It is VERY relevant

GAF better not fucking go down. It's the one site where I engage with fellow Brave Frontier players!

Tears streaming down my face. ; _ ;

You hang in that thread?

I didn't even know there was Brave Frontier thread. It's just that we have talked about the game here recently.

The only thread on GAF  I ever post in. Lot of nice people in there.

PS4 has outsold XB1 in every country they are both released in with the exception of brazil. PS4 has outsold XB1 in USA, UK, Germany, France and other markets.

PS4 SOLD 7 million, XB1 SHIPPED 5 million. Gap is around 2.8 million (sold), speaking realistically and going off of VGC numbers for the XB1. 

you can play the "13 vs 70" countries agrument all you want. fact of the matter is PS4 is dominating. 

With the price difference, things are the way they are supposed to be in terms of which console is ahead of the other. 

I expected a bigger gap.

Y'all have to admit the Xbone is doing great. I guess games do matter after all...

That's not entirely fair to say. NPD top 10 doesn't list the bundled Titanfall numbers. This means that without even counting the popular Titanfall Xbox One 450 bundle, the Xbox One version + PC version still debuted at #1. It did it's job it looks like.

TItanFall didnt fail, it did its job for EA. but it didnt achieve the unrealistic expectations many have put on it, and probably what MS hoped it would achieve. for a new IP the game sold fucking fantastic. but you cant expect it to push a system to beat its compitition which happens to be the fastest selling home console of all time. its just unrealistic.

I'd avoid the personal insults while you're at it. Admittedly, I have zero to add to your discussion, but the attacks aren't necessary.

It was a legitimate question.

Titanfall is doing well if you ask me.  The PS4 is also dominating in HW.  You can have both people.

Too much hate for Titanfall - it's some of the most fun I've had with a game in years.

So, Titanfall sold well, but didn't affect X1 sales that much. I don't understand that, especially considering the unofficial price cut.
