Do you ever kiss your console?

Do you ever kiss your console?
Microsoft has thrown everything they can at the PlayStation 4, both this holiday and the last. Yet that gap versus the PS4 only seems to widen.
I'm seriously wondering if Microsoft decides to launch their next console sooner than expected, say....2017.
(Hey, the quick-launch was a success for the Xbox 360.)
It's the packaging.
The green is no where near as appealing as the Uncharted bundle. People gravitated towards the pretty one.
Just look at it.
I'm basing my 1 million questioning on both Infamous: Second Son and Bloodborne selling 1 million copies globally in about 2 weeks. Uncharted is bigger than both but I'm not sure by how much.
It didn't quite match the opening sales of Uncharted 3

What about the Sunset Overdrive bundle?No, no and no. Microsoft has done fuck all outside of a few English-speaking countries, and that's where most of PS4's lead comes from. Microsoft just goes around the world throwing "HALO!FORZA!GEARS!" at everyone's face as if that's going to sell consoles in every corner on Earth.
Does point to MS using sell-in when they did their Halo PR.
Just checking and the UC bundle has gone back to $349
I thought it was gonna be 299$ for cyber Monday aswhell?
I missed his original post.
By a LOT.
And you can carry 4 bunduru at a timeIt's the packaging.

Something about Halo 5 bundle selling out well ahead christmas because it's Microsoft's biggest game.
Wrangler Men's Jeans are a beast.
It really is shocking to see the long term results for such poor decisions of the Xbox One launch.
I wish I knew who made those terrible choices.
That is crazy considering that Best Buy had a 49" tv on sale for $150....
If that phrasing were any more strained it'd be pasta
The Last of Us sold 3.4 million in it's first month for comparison. Went on sale June 14, so that was about 2-3 weeks as well.

Naughty Dog are far bigger than Sucker Punch/From Software, I am not sure what the UC3 opening was like but I know it was bigger than TLOU.
UNCHARTED 1: DRAKE'S FORTUNE [11/2007]: 117k
UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES [10/2009]: 537k @ #1
UNCHARTED 3: DRAKE'S DECEPTION [11/2011]: 700k @ #7
LAST OF US, THE [06/2013]: 985k @ #1
INFAMOUS: SECOND SON [03/2014]: <500k @ #2
I went back and looked at the data, and UC4 will definitely break the 1 million barrier in the U.S.
Here's the data on Uncharted 1 to 3's opening month in the NPD:
Code:UNCHARTED 1: DRAKE'S FORTUNE [11/2007]: 117k UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES [10/2009]: 537k @ #1 UNCHARTED 3: DRAKE'S DECEPTION [11/2011]: 700k @ #7
TLOU on PS3 opened to much higher numbers, likely due to it's critical acclaim and ND's name but it was still a brand new IP (which never pull numbers higher then established IPs typically):
In contrast, Infamous: Second Son pulled pretty respectable numbers a few months after PS4's launch despite it being non-numbered title in a series that has never been considered one of the big Sony IPs.Code:LAST OF US, THE [06/2013]: 985k @ #1
Code:INFAMOUS: SECOND SON [03/2014]: <500k @ #2
UC4 will releasing in March, on the dominant console (in the NPD) and will likely follow the upward trajectory of UC sales. The critical acclaim of TLOU is also likely to help the title. Other then as a result of being a failure critically, anything less then a 1 million would honestly surprise me as a result.
Best Buy's Cyber Deals are up. The first 7 items in video games are XB1 bundles(TV, FIFA, Gears, Holiday, Kinect, Fallout, Halo). The next few items are XB1 controllers, then the games. There are no other consoles out of the 97 items. I wonder if that's due to XB1 not selling very well at BB overall or MS stuffing the shit out of the channels. We do have some anecdotal evidence about the PS4 selling more at BB(especially with that really good Target deal).

peeps doubting UC4 will top 1m @ launch will be in for a surprise... one of Playstation's biggest series on the 'it' console... smells like a recipe for disaster indeed.
what window are we talking about here? day 1? week? month?We're doubting 1 million in the US. It'll easily sell at minimum 1.5 million globally in the first month.
what window are we talking about here? day 1? week? month?
yeah i'm pretty sure Uc2 sold 500K in the first month.Probably a week or day 1. A month would be too easy of a goal.
Something about Halo 5 bundle selling out well ahead christmas because it's Microsoft's biggest game.
Well duh, 9 out of 10 imaginary anecdotal friends were buying it digitally.
/s
yeah i'm pretty sure Uc2 sold 500K in the first month.
I'm not sure how reliable this is but it reports that driveclub sold a million copies in its first week.

Please tell me there's a link to the original post this 9 out of 10 thing is referencing.
Your mad if you think digital isn't drastically outselling physical.
I can name one person out of a friendship group of 10 people who bought Halo 5 physically rather than digital. That's 10/90% split in physical/digital in my friendship group. I'd say it's a similar story in a lot of other peoples.
More laughs in that thread.I live in the UK. I'll iterate, I know one person who bought this physically. That's digital 900% outselling physical in my friendship circle.

well then I guess that's that.it's not reliable
exsqueeze-me baking powder?
Not even close.

If you thought MS wasn't going to have the Halo Bundle, MS biggest game available during Christmas, your insane.

something along those lines, a mod can fact-check me.
Wait what? Are you serious?Tangent: I'm kind of dying at the fact you can still get a brand new "Day One" edition Xbox One.
Phil Spencer drank the Koolaid too. He had some very Mattrick-like quotes:MS's vision at large was completely different unfortunately. I don't think Don Mattrick is the only one there who effed up significantly, just based on all of the statements coming out of folks like Adam Orth, Nancy Tellem and the like
http://www.destructoid.com/ms-on-xbox-one-we-have-built-a-natively-connected-device-255988.phtmlSpencer explained: "I mean the analogy, and I don't know if it's a great analogy let's say I live in an area that doesn't have cell service. I wouldn't go buy a cell phone. Now, I might roam in different areas where my cellphone becomes active."
He continued: "The 360 ecosystem is a great ecosystem for somebody that's in a purely disconnected state for long periods of time."

Only had 4 Star Wars left at closing. No Black Ops 3.How many of the Battlefront and BO3 bundles were left?

That's not Phil Spencer, though, it's his evil twin brother Bill SpecterWell yeah, people like to say that Phil had no hands on from those days and had to come in and save everything, but that's obviously a very faulty assumption.
anecdotal tales from my ass, but as others have said, my BB, my target, and my walmart were all out of ps4's as of yesterday, yet all three stores had x1's including walmart which had close to 3 pallets of x1's.
do you guys think that sony just didnt ship many?
