Do you really mean that? ... I mean, 'really'?

I genuinely do.  Things got so boring this year.  This 3 in a row has brought so many posters out of the woodwork and they're being loud and boisterous again.  It's great for this forum.  

 

And counter to this when Sony start winning months again it will have more of an effect because people have shown they still care. 

 

I'm hoping for a close x1 win in October and a ps4 win in November. 

 

Same with the 3DS for me. Its beating the PSvita for soooo long! I want a new Sony handheld or the NX to go up against it.

Well done commercial. If I didn't have an xbox One that commercial would definitely make me want one.

Sorry if I have no problem with my pressure and can take salt.

Nope, people assume that the movie is highest grossing in all time if it says it broke records or similar things. As far as I know on Movies they talk about the biggest opening week on the Fiscal Year so there is context. And for consoles when someone says "highest selling" they mean cumulative not on that weekend (and guess what, MS is doing that for the 3 months not for that day or weekend) so you are twisting the context to fit what you want, and even accuse others of being emotional.

I'm glad you are happy that they are hammering Sony, the very humble MS that need people defending them from bully Sony.

No, movie commercials constantly talk about what is currently the highest grossing. MS is using a monthly tally, movies use weekly or weekend. Maybe sometimes even daily. No one accuses them of false advertising or confuses it with all time highest grossing totals, LOL.

Again, common sense and context. It helps.

Errrrrrrrr so if I look at their ads I would see 52 different movies in the year being advertised as the highest grossing? Because it's weekly tally (most I know they would do is say that it was the highest opening that week or in the year, nothing as open as this one).

Yes common sense helps, please help me remember what is usually used as "highest selling" for consoles? Because when we talk about month or NPD you can see MS saying they were te 1st place on NPD or similar.

Whoa, hold on a second.  Why is this a ban?  The OP is literally an Xbox One ad.

I'm so happy it's finally put a mini streak together. It was so boring in the NPD threads when ps4 won every month basically.

Hopefully x1 wins October too.

I'm wondering what happened to ,MS's where not going to comment on npd numbers every month attitude during that period.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Sadly for you that ain't gonna happen.  I'm delighted the 3DS wins all the time.  I never have to listen to the vita getting slagged off as a result. Vita is just forgotten about ^_^

So does the ps4 do HDR or not?

It does.

The ad is saying the only console that does HDR and UHD BR.

Oh ok. I saw an ad the other day on tv saying Xbox one s was the only console that did 4K movies and HDR gaming. I thought the ps4 had somehow come up with HDR so I was genuinely confused by it. 

I don't have HDR but if I buy a tv soon I was planning on getting 4K/HDR anyways for either the pro or Scorpio. 



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.

The best selling console in America? Microsoft are exaggerating themselves again...




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Lawlight on 19 October 2016

You really need to review the forum rules if you think his posts weren't ban worthy.
