That was tachikoma warning and headmod supported, he received PM on it as well and several subsequent warnings. Even if he was propping MS he would be banned... he was likely banned 5 times for saying good things about MS, one talking about the Halo bad sales and now he is permabanned.


You really, really want to stop spreading misinformation.

Wow, so he faced a ban even if he said somerhing like "Xb one sold very well this month"? That's pretty messed up.


There was no problem with him posting about Xbox in generic sales threads. That isnt why he was banned.

If you really want to know the ethomaz story, hit up my inbox and Ill be happy to answer any questions. Same goes for anyone else curious about "the straw that broke the camels back".

Personally I'll always remember ethomaz as the person that REALLY likes Destiny and Grand Turismo.

Gap is ~200k according to sources, I personally guess 220k.


200k > x < 300k

I guess 270k.

see what happens when you only rely on holidays to catch up? It can bite you in the ass.

Carl, Tachikoma warning had splicit order prohibiting ethomaz from posting in any MS thread or talking about MS in any other threads or in any way that lead to MS. Even if it was positive.

Tomb Raider sub 200k.

Which means Tomb Raider sold about as much as The Order. A damn shame really, it deserves more.

Sub 200k?! Hooooly shit what was Square/Enix thinking? This deal is a fiasco beyond anything I've seen in gaming.

VGC puts RoTR at ~248K for the month, which includes the official bundle, which is not counted by NPD. So VGC is not terribly far off with RoTR, unless RoTR is waaaay under 200K. But I imagine if people at saying <200K then that means definitely more than 150K.

But the point is, this is a terrible result for RoTR either way and whoever suggested SE should have had a release early on PS4 clause in the exclusivity contract is dead right, and SE would have been as stupid a shit not to have a ballbreaker clause like that. The question is whether SE already has the PS4 version ready to go. Well the other question is whether even decent PS4 sales would be able to keep the franchise alive. Can PS4+PC combine to make the game decently profitable and secure a 3rd post-reboot game? I'm not certain. Terrible, awful, stupid, short-sighted decision.

I really don't know anyone who doesn't buy digital. I know for a fact these numbers are far off. Some of games sold over 500,000 copies in digital

Congrats to Sony. You held onto that $400 price last holiday and barely got outsold, IIRC(correct me please). Now that you've dropped the price, you've shown what you can do, which people should remember. Good job Xbox and Wii U.

Last year it was actually quite a big difference between the two (~400k).


Thanks. I still think the holiday price drop would have made a big difference. Would the PS4 have outsold the Xbox One? Only an alternate universe has the answer. lol
