its really not
even rich people wouldnt buy it for $850+....
im not an xbox fan and i paid the X1 regular price...
people spending 400$ on a console are moaning about an extra 100 makes no sense to me... 400 is alot 500 is alot... the difference isnt so phenomenal
no the fact is u can still pre order the ps4... for 399...
the people buying it for $800 are idiots and they were idiots if theyve done it for 360 or wii ... he didnt even mention Xbox... why do you have to bring it up?
Obv havnt watched the video or researched the new features at all.. i really dont know why people comment when they have like 10% knowledge of something
WHY IS EVERRY1 COMPARING IT TO THE PS4!!!
You dont need to sell more than the competition to succed LOL You guys think that only one company can do well?
The world isnt full of fanboys who only see Sony in the future lol... If ps4 sells 5 mil consoles and x1 sells 3 mil consoles they have both done well! WHY CAN YUOU NOT SEE THAT!
You want proof?
how about so many triple A developers getting shut down cause their sales didnt reach that they needed cause of CoD and battlefield monopolising every sale for an fps?
THQ went bust cause no sales even though creating an amazing game...
APB team getting shut down cause not enough sales and had to be bought and gone free to play to survive..
Zipper shut down...
evidence is all around you... a ...
Most likey :)
People dont understand the importance of keeping things secret xD if ur indie and u leak it tehres no real punishment if u do it secretly but if ur in a big corp and found out to be taking pics and what not ull probz be insta fired and will find it hard to get a job anywhere else in the gaming field
@Gran touring
cause to get a dev kit on the ps4 u only have to fork out a few grand (10k+)
MS have quality control standards which is why there is this whole debate whether they should backtrack and have a ton of shovelware on there console or make em go through a publisher so there quality is up to scratch and its a game people want.
This is most likely why :)
stuck in the past?
Hell id put alot of thanks to MS that the indie market is where its at today..
Indie Marketplace and XNA on Xbox 360 / PC brought indie titles to alot of people who had never even heard of the things.. or atleast only played em as free flash games...
Ms if anything is thinking to far into the future.
and miss out on thousands of sales....
good advice :) you should apply to be the financial advisor
i dunno how peop=le go through so many... ive owned 3 xbox 360 ( differnt generations and hardrives etc ) and not 1 has every RRoD on me...
guess im just lucky xD
and how do i play Ryse or Forza? or anything decent ?
and who the hell uses skype on iPhone when u have a pc -_- ( and android is better )
why do you need numbers?
selling out means high enough sales for them to actually use this tactic and not see a backlash from annoyed customers..
your trying to spin it in a bad light and that there just lying and cannot be trusted... if a company has sold out of units even if they truly havent then cancling ur preorder was a bad thing as you will have to wait regardless of whether or not ms has em in stock
will probz sell even more after chirstmas when every1 has all their moneys and what not...
@Devwan you can say that about any game/console preorders.. Some publishers (Ea) purposely deny stock to create hype for a game others just simply cant produce that amount of stock.
all people are on the same playing field so we can only speculate that selling out means good things and high sales. Thinking to much into that just brings negative attitude
I dont think u have any solid numbers to back that statement... all we know is MS did well with X360 and if the pre orders are going on the same if not better than that then things are looking good for MS...
I think the pricetag isnt a big deal for alot of people who bother to pre order a console as you can save money for a considerable amount of months before u need to pay for it
f2p model and the likes have proven very much to work aswell as the social/casual market model.. small development costs and huge profits
cause thats how he wants to look...
like why do u have a vegeta icon? ur obv not vegeta...
do people question how you look? he wears what he wants to wear cause thats what he wants to wear
yeh some1 who has made a very confortable living in the games industry is obv an idiot whereas you are the obv genius...
His words carry weight unlike urs which are just idiotic...
and idiot cliffy b? you mean the guy behind on of the greatest game engines in assistance? the guy who has made such a big impact on the industry is an idiot... then why havnt u made any impact on the industry if ur so fuking smart ...
True but id like to think if i won the lottery tomorow id of looked around for 10mins before forking over twice the RRP
