This is just for USA, where XBO isnt very far behind in terms of hardware.

Ah, I see. That makes a whole lot more sense.

Because I wasn't paying attention. *d'oh*

I have no doubt that PS4 is killing it in software... I know these figures aren't reliable though.

Because I am not the first person who's asked this question and it's starting to seem like propaganda? 

I didn't ask for the Nintendo handheld... 

 

I will not force you to do anything that might be related to positives for the Xbox One though. I think whether you want or not really doesn't concern you... 

Also, according to WP, Ireland's part of the British Isles.

 

As for the market thing, I doubt it. The PS has been touting a lot of ecchi games which the other console lacks and helps it to make itself seem friendlier towards younger gamers... 

But what good might it be when this goal was achieved only by a one third margin when it should've been more? It makes things seem bleak to them since their system achieved this with a clear lead. 

It doesn't look pleasing when they should've emerged victorious with more sales... 

I dont know what forums you've used, but on this forum there is no mandatory obligation to speak, or not to speak on anything your not interested in. Are you butthurt? I think someone is butthuuuurt!

Butthurt? Nah. You guys all are. I am only annoyed because whenever something good related to the PS happens, they find every excuse imaginable to celebrate. Something good happens to the "enemy" camp? Everyone's suddenly silent and it makes it seem like you're spreading propaganda or advertising for Sony, which honestly becomes grating after a few threads.

There's no obligation to post anything about xbox.  That's for the xbox fans to do.  Although when it hits notable milestones I'll post them which I actually have in the past.  Search my threads created.  

 

And as a resident and gamer of Ireland that's the reason why.  Ps4 has plenty of kids games and many like rocket league were timed exclusive or ratchet and clank permanently. It's a marketing issue not a games one. 

I wonder why in the world they do not tone down their advertising regarding those ecchi games. Granted, I still think they are one more reason not to, since the PS has both brands of poison with ecchi and violence. The other system has only violence and the remaining one has neither...

Why does the margin bother you so much in one region,mind you the xbox's strongest region? When world wide is getting stomped. 

Because this seems like an excuse to show off, rather than an important milestone.

The salt is thick is this thread already.Congratulations to the PS4 if true.

After seeing the numbers, I am not sure who should be salty. When your competitor sells seventy five percent of what you do with half the audience, things start looking bleak for your market share... 

Are you referring to the X1? If so, i'm not sure i understand your point. The PS4 and X1 have functionally the same attach ratio in the US, at least here on VGC. If you have a source contradicting that, it'd appreciate a link. It feels like it's been forever since we got official US software stats (or at least since i saw any :p).

It will be interesting to see if it hits 200M slower or faster due to the shift to digital gaming. Son's financial reports will be very interesting going forward as well. By the end of the year, PlayStation should be Sony's biggest revenue and profit division overtaking the financial side. How big can it go beyond that?



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
