Bravo, Sony. Keep it up and USA will be Playstationland this gen.
8 months down
4 months to go
And? EA basically advertised it as coming only to Xbone (similar to Sony's deal with Activision)
You see how bad the situation is?
Even when MS gave it away for free.
What a catastrophe. :D
Indeed. Marketing, shipping, localization as well as moneyhatting things like 5pb's work all cost money.
Now I'm waiting for the PR. You just know they're praying for China to save them.
But not unexpected.
They should just shut up and not try to downplay the situation. It's when they offer stupid excuses like "This the pre-season! Derp!" the ends up biting them later on when they lose.
Well, Titanfall was bundled so not that surprising. Also, 23k only? Yikes, that's low. I had them at 35k....
Edit: For those interested in history, 360 sold 63k in its first week. Just in case we get the usual "Everything is fine and according to Phil-sama's plan."
Wouldn't surprise me. For six years, Phil Spencer has proven he doesn't create, he buys. He doesn't invest, he acquisitions. http://www.totalxbox.com/65...
Keep throwing that money around, anywhere but your own first party studios.
@Newmonday: Lol, you jest but the Destiny fragrance was brought on by desperation, trying to atleast stay relevant in the US where the majority believe Destiny is a PS4 exclusives.
In this case, I doubt Sony needed to moneyhat Arkham Knight, Destiny or The Crew away from MS. I'd argue publishers would LOSE money for printing discs to sell on Xbox there.
How so? Even with Idolmaster exclusivity, the 360 only managed to sell over a million.
They have no desirable Japanese exclusives this gen. Even Square Enix is publishing Batman Arkham Knight as PS4 only this gen.
The Bone will repeat the OG Xbox's performance.
Shenmue
Phantasy Star Online
Samba Di Amigo
Seaman
Skies of Arcadia
Crazy Taxi
Chu Chu Rocket
So many great memories.
To be honest, I considered it. There was a tidbit where he says "You said PS4 is a 10 year machine!"
As far as I know, only Microsoft made that claim.
Well said. I believe they have UK firmly locked as PS territory this gen.
Insider from NeoGaf wrote a cryptic '4'.
Possibly, the exclusivity deal lasts only four months?
---But the usual enthusiastic crowds that greet big launches in Japan were absent on Thursday morning, with just ONE BUYER at a major electronic retailer in Tokyo.---
Yeesh, that's ugly.
Cat, whatever happened to theme months? I mean, telling us to write Christmas theme or Valentine themes is fine and all but learn to spice things up.
Take September, for example, it's known for....erhm...err...let me get back to you on that one.
@abzdiine: Considering how some 'special' people forgot so many things MS has said (No DRM removal, no Kinectless SKU) I'm willing to bet that's exactly what goes on inside their head "Our customers have short-term memories, Phil! I can tell them they're all ducks and they'd still believe us! I love my job!"

Judging by the wrist thingies, I expect that the world has somehow adapted. Maybe the government issued these things so people can recognize who's infected/about to?
Anyway, bring back Barry.
Sony ain't messing around. A conference for every season and every region.
Complete. World. Domination.
(On-topic: I expect to see some f2p games and Moba announcements since China/Taiwan/etc love that sort of thing)
Wow, you needed someone to explain that to you...
