Not that this really matters in the grand scheme of things as Xbox One represents tremendous value at its current price, but someone just told me that the Xbox One Titanfall Bundle is available for only £349 at Tesco for all UK consumers. Not only is this great value, it becomes even better as you can apply for a further 10% off, making it only £314.

I want to make a small comparison here. This is a Titanfall thread so I feel this is on topic. That's £314 for an Xbox One with the only game this year that matters, Titanfall.

If you were to purchase a PS4, it would cost you £349. That's just the console. A console and a controller. Nothing else. I don't even know if they give you a HDMI cable with it (PS3 didn't have it, so I don't think PS4 would have it either). The only notable purchase on that system isn't due for another 6 months and will likely cost you an additional £40. Until then, you have no games to play. You basically have a controller with a pretty blue light. That's fine for all you fanatics who love the colour blue, but not so much for those who maybe don't want blue, and want yellow or pink or orange.

This creates a difference of £75 and 6 months of no games. I don't know what SCE has been smoking (fucking drug addicts that they are), but I think it's clear that they're essentially lying to people with their narrative of presenting a cheap and powerful gaming system. It's also disheartening to see people on GAF are believing the false hype and have been caught, hook, line and sinker.

The fact is that the competitor is outmatching them in the only country that has centuries of legacy and history outside of the US. The Queen's land, Britannia.

£314 for Xbox One with Titanfall. Of course this console is going to sell millions.

Is this a joke post or are you serious ?

Got Titanfall for 360 for my son, he played it for afew days and that's it, he has moved on.

Killing 2 enemy pilots or so in a multiplayer match is not exactly edge of seat stuff and the bots are kinda boring, not enough variety.

Titanfall would benefit from more dev time, more variety and classes, more players and less grunts, and a coop mode against escalating forces (with decent AI)

Again, it is not outpacing 360 since january, 360 was really supply constrained, 1.1 ina quarter is not good and stock is not moving much at all. Only a matter of time before it falls behind 360's pace.

Sure you did. Titanfall is Xbox One exclusive mate.

Whatever game you got your son on the 360 isn't Titanfall, and quite frankly, I'm a bit ashamed you would stoop that low if your son indeed wanted a particular (ly amazing) game. You should have spent the money and got him an Xbox One with the actual Titanfall rather than Call of Duty Ghosts or whatever other FPS you have masquerading as Titanfall in this imaginary world.

When you take into consideration how much shorter the Dreamcast was around, the Dreamcast was probably sold at a similar rate to the other two. Besides, there are other areas besides the US. For example, the Dreamcast sold around 2.3 million in Japan, to the Xbox's roughly 500k and the GameCube's roughly 4 million.

Supply chain has gone a long way since the PS1/PS2 days, back then companies had very limited manufacturing capacity. Some countries didn't get the PS2 until 2003/2004 at time for example. Now there are companies like Foxconn that can handle millions of orders quit easily.

ZehDon said:

Care to elaborate on such a statement? Because we're not dealing with "PR Claims" here. Microsoft's figures are coming from their earnings report. If those figures are false, Microsoft just broke several laws, and are in for a world of hurt that would directly effect the Xbox division's profitability, and thus Microsoft's Xbone Strategy. In Sony's most recent earnings release, in February if I recall correctly, we can extrapolate some of the necessary sales information. I believe several Gaffers have already done this, actually.

These aren't mindless PR claims that can be thrown around without consequences. These are reported figures for shareholders and, in some parts of the world, financial regulatory bodies, the latter of which are on the hunt after the fallout of the Global Financial Crisis. So, if you're saying there is reason to doubt these figures, you're saying you have reason to believe these companies are lying to their shareholders and the authorities. That's getting into "megaton" territory.

So, what do you have to make you think that? If its nothing concrete, I think it might be a good idea to edit your post and remove such vague claims.

Question!

Isn't the Xbox One outpacing even the Xbox 360? Sure, the XBO isn't performing anywhere near the PS4 , but when you compare it to the 360 (which didn't have market competition for a year) it's looking pretty good.

Or am I missing something entirely? Aside from the influence of social media in 2014 vs. 2005.
