I laughed for a good five minutes at the sheer idiocy of this post. The ignorance is utterly incomparable.

GAF always does that. And yes, they are demented.

Jesus, r/xboxone is hilarious

The fanbase over there may be the most delusional ever 

Xbox One is about to crush PS4, and Neo and PSVR aren't going to push sales at all, MS is in total control of the generation guys

Sounds like old VGChartz moved to reddit.  

 

So xbox was selling for roughly $100 cheaper in July than ps4 with a lot more games bundled but only wins by 10k. I think that's a pretty poor showing.

Very poor. Especially when you consider the PS4 didn't do great to begin with. I mean, it would be one thing if the PS4 did 290K and the XBO did 300K. But both didn't even do 200K.

Of course, I wouldn't expect PS4 to do that great. We're in a slow month and the PS4 is only $50 cheaper than it was at launch. A pricecut it got almost a year ago. Had Sony announced a cut to $299 this month, I wouldn't be surprised if it had sold 290K. That would still have left a $249 XBO more than 100K behind it. Not good.

Yeah well said.  It's hard to think the ps4 still retails for $350. Just $50 cheaper than it's launch price.  I think they'll be happy to retail at $300 this year as they know they'll trounce the XB1 worldwide even if it's $250.
