So just out of interest what are these big multiplayer games on the xbone and PS4 right now?
They're also completely different games. MGS4 is a SP game focused on storytelling in an era where MP games dominate. Titanfall has the potential to be so much bigger. Titanfall has also received an incredible amount of hype, deserved or not, and is actually coming very early in the generation.
The last point is really reaching. Most people on here seemed convinced that the same would happen with MGS4. I doubt the average gamer really thinks that at all and even then it won't be for ages.
Titanfall has the potential to have way, way more impact than MGS4. It may flop or just sell average but imo it has the potential to have a bigger impact just by nature of the type of game it is.

Also your second sentence is exactly what people are arguing. The hype around titanfall is because it is supposed to something that really stands out and that's why it is being talked up. The question is whether or not it lives up to the hype.
I wonder how many units Amazon got it, considering it's been in stock for a few days and it's selling really fast...must have been a very large shipment.
395 units left.
Yet another Titanfall mention in a PS4 sales thread. At this point this game is so hyped that it'll be considered a failure if it doesn't launch Xbone sales to three times the current PS4 WW numbers.

Yeah you're right it is way off topic and i agree that if it doesn't have a huge impact it will be a failure considering how much weight MS have put behind it.

The PS4 on Amazon.com is showing 930 left and still dropping fairly quickly. Go Sony.
Had to have been hundreds of thousands at the rate they sell. It looks like they are almost all gone now though(1-2 day processing message).
Would it be possible to measure how many they sold in 2 hours, and from there extrapolate how many units Amazon got?
Yeah, I know there are a lot of variables, but maybe it could give us a rough estimate?
I've seen a lot of mentions of Amazon but how are other retailers doing with stock?
I know this sounds crazy, and it's anecdotal, but I haven't seen a PS4 on store shelves in several retailers here in Tampa since November 15. Only a few Xbox One units in my local Walmart.
Others may have but everything looks picked clean from what I've seen.
So sad. I on the other hand have grown out of it! Ha!

You can check here for online sites

Sam's Club and Walmart are selling bundles while Amazon has the standalone console. They're the only site that isn't forcing a bundle right now.
Maann... that movie could have been good. Some terrible cosmetic and direction choices really fucked it up. All the performances, on a strictly acting level ranged from fine to good.
Sorry, randomly off topic.
Leonard???

Edit: That's super off topic in a thread about PS4 sales though.

Amazon - Console In Stock for $399.99
ohhh I get it now. That's really good then. Thanks!Amazon only shows stock levels up to 999. Anything 999+ only allows you to add 999 to the cart
This seems the earliest post
So less than 5 hours to sell 500 consoles on Amazon
Unless 6 million people play in their underwear, this tweet is off topic, but seemed worth sharing!

Knowing that it's selling around 100 an hour now and they came in stock on the 3rd there have most likely been at least 25,000 units sold. I'm sure that they sold at a faster rate a week ago so I wouldn't be surprised if amazon received 45-55k units.
I'm sure these numbers are completely wrong but there's no doubt it's selling extremely well.
o.o06:35 - 930
10:37 - 382
4hrs 2min - 548 units
( 548 / 242 ) * ( 4 * 24 * 60 ) ~= 13K units
There yah go, some fuzzy back of an envelope math. I know zero about hardware shipments and all that, so this bit is all from my butt, but a 20k order of ps4s seems reasonable for amazon. Probably a huge initial surge and then a steady slightly oscillating stream of sales.
You might want to tone down your expectations. TitanFall will help, but XB1 isn't the only platform it will be on. EA is pushing it pretty hard for PC. Go look at the origin website, as there is a count down to unlock time.

Those aren't my expectations. I'm saying considering how much importance MS is placing on the game if it doesn't become a huge success than it will be a huge blow to MS. I'm not saying i think it will actually have that impact.
yeah I saw someone doing a little math estimation as well. I'm curious to know as well. I'm surprised its sold out in best buy. Do you think second son, is playing a small role as well?
o.o
About 311 PS4's left on Amazon U.S.
If it went on sale 6 days ago, it'd be ~20k at it's current rate, I thought it was on sale 4 days ago. Either way, I think most of us agree the initial surge was probably high so doing the current rate is probably a lowball estimate.

You know I've thought about it and I think that PS3's current price actually helps PS4. I see it like this: if I see an older product in a series like the PS3 retailing for only a hundred and fifty dollars less I would say to myself, "I might as well get the PS4, it's only X amount more." Now obviously I don't think this would work if the PS4 was 499, so I think they work off each other, more so the PS4.
outdated stat, only 372, probably less now, not bad moving for a sunday night
hmm interesting, I always see 2 or 3 ps4 at my local Target every time i get there, ofcourse they also have bunch of unsold Xbox ones and wii u's too.
meh don't plan on getting a ps4 not until probably mgs v
Sunday nights are usually the busiest for online stores.
oo where do you live? In SF, local Target and Bestbuy are out of stock for PS4. Was in Target just yesterday.
what's the reason? Buying before the weekdays begin?
