Could you imagine a doughhead purchasing this console thinking ..haha, I got mine early..plugs it into the Internet and blamo..banstick...LOL
unfortunately, that is only partially true. They can take your deposit in store or you can pay for it in full. Most places like gamestop required a 100buck deposit. It does not guarantee you a day one or week 2 console if you did not meet the window for day ones. All it gives you is a pre-order. They can deliver it at a later date as supplies become available.
Amazon on the other hand, cannot charge you for the system until it has yours in stock . At least this is true fo...
I have no doubt that the PS4 pre-orders are greater than the X1. I think MS was conservative to make sure there was going to be enough for said pre-sales. BUT, I think Sony grossly over sold their pre-order allotment and there will be a lot of disappointed people this Holiday Season.
Then if you wouldnt mind, explain why they did it twice? Second time is a charm? The link I provided was a commercial. As I stated, it marketing and this is just stock footage and they all use it. Do you think the PS4/X1 are not using PC footage? They definitely are.
I see all the disagrees? Why?, truth is in the link..not once but twice: http://www.ign.com/articles...
EDIT: and my original post is getting so many disagrees...no matter how hard you click disagree...the truth is still there LOL ....hey why not click this one too with disagrees
and Sony has done this time and time again with xbox 360 footage...this is common marketing technique.
Oh no...I hope not...peripherals that are bought as addons generally do not sell well at all.
I will be purchasing this game. This game is gorgeous.
No offense to the author, but this is OLD news. Does N4G not double check previously published articles? All I see lately is the same stories rehashed somehow. I thought this article was an update on the previous one and its not :(
Once again, we just got served a steak and potatoes dinner, but they left out the steak in this article. It gets rid of all the moronic and trolling comments in ALL articles not just the Xbox.
Whoever thought up the Skylanders at Activision should get a huge bonus. What a great idea for marketing items to kids who love this Pokemon type/like stuff. Mom mom mom I need more figures to battle...well done Activision employee :) I am sure you now have a corner office.
Looks similar to the X1 crash when Forza didnt load..minus the doughhead in the pic with the X1.
Its nice to see developers talking about what they liked and were able to do on the X1.
Just read the article. FUD at its best. The division is profitable...its not operating at a loss. How did this get approved?
I can same the same thing about Sony..if they dropped the PS4 they would be profitable because all their money comes from selling off real estate. See I can spread FUD too.
unfortunately anything Microsoft these days is all negative press being deserved or made up by biased individuals and anything said about Sony is OMG thats amazing...a fine example is the color changes on the light bar on the console...
Why cant people just play their choice and enjoy what they purchased?
I've had the priveledge of playing both consoles and they are pretty damn good as far as consoles go and my expectations of them.
Agreed :)
I cannot figure out why "sources" say its so hard to develop for. The ESRAM is the evolution of what was used in the 360 and it was easy to program for. I too agree that it would be final kits/drivers and software threw the devs for a loop. I do agree the PS4 may have an edge when it comes to development but not as much as certain people make it seem.

and not once but twice...but in the end..just doesnt matter to me really. I was merely pointing out what marketing teams do on a regular basis.
I am sure most of you are too young to remember. Sony did this all the time with the PS3 promos. Showed games running on the 360 and passed them off as PS3 games. This is common practice.
I've read the other articles and all I can do is laugh. He should have known this would happen. Plugging it into the Internet, they knew who he was right away. Hopefully they will remove the ban on the 22nd....at least he can avoid the day one download rush. I wonder if he can still play single player?
