Considering the online numbers dropped ridiculously fast I doubt Halo 4 is rocketing to Halo 3 sold numbers.

Halo 4 was more front loaded and had worse word ofmouth than Halo 3 which was uuniversally praised by fans, casuals and the press alike.

Your break down makes no sense because you oversimplified it .
How many 2GB GPU were ship or how many 6GB GPU were ship all of those are factors you have to think about .
Then you also have to think which chips there are using because Sony would never care about 2Gbits .
Which matters if you want to talk about demand of certain chip and prices .

That 1 sale could determine who wins this generation and therefore the direction gaming will take into next gen.

I wonder if Vita also got some boost because of the remote playing on PS4. Probably not a lot but a little?

According to the article (posted earlier in the thread), half of the incoming PS4's will be going to Gamestop. I would have exepected Walmart to get half. How odd.

I wonder if this is because Gamestop has some crazy long pre-order lists? I don't know if its the case nation wide, but I recall someone posting a thread about how their local Gamestop was pre-ordered into early next year.

I still don't understand why you keep trying to focus on memory volume, its not relevant here. Again most GPUs use a standard configuration of GDDR modules. Sony usesa somewhat common number in a clamshell. What varies is density, bus width, clocks, MCs, etc.

Bottome line is that even if Sony sold PS4s at a Wii pace, they'd still be only a fraction of the total market.

I doubt that many people would buy a PS4 and Vita in the same week.


That would be pretty pricey.

What's the Vita's LTD? I thought it was marginally higher than the WiiU's, not that it really matters :(

It'd probably attract more female attention then a bright pink case. Do it, Sony.

I remember back in May or June during all that MS drm crap, reading a few articles stating that Gametop's CEO told Sony he would buy up all the PS4's they could make. Sony may have made some arrangement with them at the time.

I already bought a PS4 for my brother (roommate) but a payment issue caused the PS4 I preordered for myself to not go through. I tried a few times to get a PS4 for myself since then and kept failing.

One of my buddies who works at Wal-Mart texted me yesterday that they just got 9 PS4s in. I left work to get one as soon as he texted me. By the time I got there I couldn't find a single PS4 so I asked a guy who worked in electronics - "sorry, we sold them all". I told him my friend just said they got a shipment in and he doubled down by saying "we have ps3s, but we sold all of our PS4s". I couldn't believe they sold 9 of them so quickly, but before I left I texted my friend back and told him the situation. He said "no, we still have 3 of them. That guy is wrong, that guy is always wrong...don't listen to him". A minute later my friend comes from wherever he works at and walked behind the electronics counter and opened a box that had the remaining 3 PS4s. Bought one, left happy. By the time I got to work my friend texted me saying they sold their remaining two.

So, in about an hour period they sold out of their 9 PS4s even with a guy working the department that didn't know what he was talking about.

They also got 10 XB1s yesterday and sold them out too. Took a bit longer, but impressive nonetheless.
