I just want to know what better deals the PS4 had They had ONE bundle the freaking Uncharted Bundle for $249 the same price as like 4 or 5 XB1 bundles(Gears, BF1, Minecraft, Name your game etc). And the PS4 dropped to $220 just like the XB1 did. Am I reading stuff in this thread correctly?

So with the XB1s release winning by a little over 100k was domination....but for the PS4 winning by 300k is not domination and not impressive(even though we don't even know if the 300k number is accurate or not)?

I try to stay out of this stuff usually but some of these post make absolutely NO sense at all....

I'm amazed people are claiming "300k" isn't a lot to win by. Amazed but not surprised.

If the rationale of this is that PS4 had an upgraded hardware revision release, then they might be somewhat right.

Narrative and expectations being changed after the result as per usual

I especially love the firesale narrative, when both the BF deals were the same price

I'll remember that Scorpio needs to win MS November by at least 500k for it to be remotely successful.

Wouldn't it just make sense though to treat the new hardware iteration the same way we did the XB1S and say that both the Pro and the Scorpio just need to match that?

Not like all three have been marketed around the idea of 4K or anything...

Well, cats are the best animals ever, tho, don't lump them with those things!
Cats are one of the 3 pillars of the internet, afterall.

Boobs and VGChartz are the other two.

Definitely not on GAF because the aggregate predictions had the PS4 beating the XBO by less than 200K.

You know how it is, one guy will say something like "PS QuAd winz 1 Millz eEeeZZZeee". Then you get the people that will start using that one guy to say "PS4 fans said it would win 1 mil lolololololollolololl". It just the way, take a small minority of people saying something and then pretend the whole fanbase said it.

Isn't that ironic seeing how many sony centric fans mentioned this crap gamer guy in this thread? Someone I never heard of, or care to learn.
