If your criteria for what constitutes a joke includes laughter, then no.

I wasn't comparing the sales to the xbox one...it still surprising to me it's selling that well, especially in Spain. The comment about the lineup is personal opinion which apparently ruffles some feathers in Sony fans.
These. And it was because of Sony's constant fuck-ups with the PS3 from E3 2006 to 2008 that caused the 360 to become successful in both the US & the UK, not because that the Xbox brand was "big," because it certainly wasn't.
Robbie Bach even admitted that 360 succeeded over PS3 because of what Sony did with the PS3 (Link).
Definitely. I don't know why people keep responding to him. I wound up putting him on ignore.

Manberg'd.
At least I fucking hope it's a troll account, despite my user name. It being real is too sad to think about.
this is either an elaborate joke, or you are off your meds, or, you are getting paid.
i'm leaning towards the latter.
Do people in Spain not like FIFA, COD, BF and AC?
Spain is all about Lococycle.
What's sad is, all the major outlets ran with that PR spin and made a point to include it in their article about sales.

Excuse the GAF > Internet > GAF article (and feeding a blatant astroturfing troll), but you should read this.
It's based on this thread, where Gaffers found out that you can see exact figures of Amazon's stock (once an item goes below 1000 units) by putting 999 units of something in your basket. Naturally this is tracked.
tl;dr edition: you're wrong, based on this one case study it appears that people who want a PS4 is not going out and buying Xbones when the PS4 supply runs out, but instead buying bundles and/or waiting it out until the next batch.
is this real life?
Not only is the PS4 beating the XBO in the territory where MS is FLOODING the market with shipments, it is also DOMINATING it WW.
Fastest selling? LMAO
This has to be a Major Nelson alt
I'm surprised it took so long for many posters...
I will take complete Sony dominance this generation ala' PS2. Won't happen but I won't mind entirely, though I would like some space left over for the WiiU.
I want interesting and diverse gaming experiences. That is something seems woefully lacking in the MS console strategy. They become FPS boxes primarily where anything unique goes to die. Unique and interesting games seem to have more space and acceptance in the other consoles ecosystems.

You knew what kind of response you were courting with that post, don't cry now because you got what you wanted.
So what? There are still millions of Spanish gamers with jobs.

Good news for Sony.
PAL is bigger than the US market since the PS1 era.
BTW, what will happen if they (MS) lose the US market?
Might give you a clue
1) PS360 (160 m units shipped) has already outsold the PS2 (nearly 160 m units shipped) by 40 million units in NA+EU+AU.
2) The PS3 is already the best selling console of the generation (excluding NA)
3) The PS2 only managed to sell 6 million units in US+JP during (2008 - 2013)
4) 249 is the new 149
Look, The PS3 has been #1 for three straight fiscal years. In other words, the PS3 is going to outsell its competitors during the vast majority of their lifecycles...

You asked me why I'm surprised, I answered you. We don't need to think alike, do we?
PS4 is selling well in US also. 240-250k weekly. Tweeted today:
December NPD will be glorious.

Wow. Is that graph real? Impressive numbers by Sony. However I think that was more due to the fact that you are unlikely to get a PS4 because of supply constraints whereas you can get The One relatively easily since the supply is there. But impressive numbers nonetheless for the PS4.
How reliable is that person?
You are either fucking high or something completely nuts if you think the demand is as high for Ps4 and XBO. Holy shit.
Thuway is one of most famous NeoGAF insiders. He's very reliable.

I don't know dude, I've got a feeling MS will be number 1 for December. December should be where you see the numbers double from November but I don't see that from PS. This is not due to lack of demand. The demand is outstanding. Sony will lose December because they just couldn't produce enough PS4's to supply all the markets that they launched in. It's just that simple.
His post history sure is something.
I know for a fact that he isn't as reliable as famousmortimer or CBoAT. Less than a year ago he was colossally wrong about the Xbox One specs.
Of course if you have a reputation as being an insider, you might get information sent to you because you have a reputation. But there is probably a reason he isn't posting that on GAF.
its the bird!

At minimum they are comparable. There are no true landslide victories for either console at this point. And at bare minimum you can say that the launch of The One and the PS4 and the two biggest launches since the Wii and that's most certainly saying a lot.

Can we please just stop replying to him? It makes the ignore feature kinda useless. Why are people arguing with someone delusional?

Im fully expecting MS to win December NPD simply because of Sony's demand "issues".
However, id love to see Sony somehow still come out on top in December...just to witness all the tears lol

Heads are probably already rollong at MS. Even if MS beats Sony in December (still possible but looking less and less like a sure thing) we already see anecdotal proof that demand for the ps4 remains high while xb1 is either staying the same or shrinking.
January NPD is gonne be brutal for MS...
Oh, so now we are calling it "The One"? I wonder which colored pill you took, it sure sounds crazy!
I just had to. Please don't ignore me! :'(

It wouldn't surprise me to see this be a repeat of the PS2 gen.
Microsoft did quite well in the US for the original Xbox. There were months it sold better than the PS2 during the holiday season if I recall (Halo 2 launch).
Demand looks like its much greater for PS4...it has captured the core audience and the casual-cores that were split between PS3/XB360 last gen. Xbox One looks like it's only capturing the core Xbox consumer.

If this is true, then we should have around 4 million units sold world wide by the end of December.
So basically.. you have no idea either?

You don't see stock becaus PS4 sells out on shipment recieve days at stores. All the units get sold out before stores can even stock.

PS4 is also doing so well because of the wrongs Microsoft made this year. Remember E3?
Microsoft completely thought we wanted what they were offering. We simply wanted a sufficient game console that could replace the aging 7/8 year old ones we had.
