Oh man, this is just great. Lots of laughs all around.

 

[Windom Earle]

Guys please, show a little respect for the teams who have put in thousands of hours into the development of this product.

It's called a 'The One' not the 'One', thank you very much.

wtf at that quote

One and Done is completely wrong and needs to reevaluate his life.

Hmm. Ok I'm not a poor sport. Let's change the wager then. Instead of a week ban I would have to keep this new moniker for the entirety of this generation if The One is behind the PS4 in December NPD.

I'm pretty sure this is your new moniker regardless.

So a thing sure happened here.

You mean The Thing happened here.

Been keeping out of this thread, but I saw the title change and backtraced. Definitely was not disappointed.

 

[Jenenser]

the whole thread was a nice read.
I' m in tears :')

Just to be back on topic
EU = Sony-land, but these numbers really are incredible.
I'd like to know how the numbers are in Germany, does anyone have a lead on that?

The only words I want to hear from you are either YOU ARE ALL GARBAGE or I AM YU LAW, I AM NOBODY'S BITCH

LOL "Got a pretty mouth!"

Yesterday from B3D:

Was just at a Wal Mart earlier. They had 7 Xbox Ones available.

Place was packed, too

 

[Steroyd]

And thus Playstation The IV was preordained as the New King of Europe.

 

[Facism]

Alright that one got me lol.

But let me get one thing straight since I seem to be misunderstood here, I own The One but I've also ordered a PS4 recently on amazon. I wanted a PS4 more than The One but obviously none were available at or after launch and I don't believe in preordering things. Anyways, I wanted both consoles. Yes I know my opinion on DRM isn't popular with most GAFers but I honestly believe The One would have been better with it and it would have truly differentiated the consoles. As I see it now, the differences are negligible, which is unfortunate. I do hope it comes back though.

what precedent has microsoft set in the past that would give you faith that their DRM systems would have been positive for you?

 

[FryHole]

You mean The Thing happened here.

[DragonSworne]

Well they're losing the UK and as of November NPD, they're losing the US too.

But there are so many Xbox Ones just sitting on store shelves not selling at all. That has to mean MS caught up with Sony and outsold them for December.

 

[Eusis]

what precedent has microsoft set in the past that would give you faith that their DRM systems would have been positive for you?

Yeah, only with Steam would I be that confident. Sony only a little higher than Microsoft since they're good about cross platform at least, and if Nintendo did this without big changes I'd think they had gone completely fucking retarded.

 

[demigod]

I take it "The One" beat the PS4 in those 12 days?

So I just read this article and it looks like Spain has definitely stepped it up as far as relevance in the gaming community. Kudos to them. Hopefully Microsoft shifts a bit more attention to them after ensuring The One in larger territories.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

"pick up a The One"

Holy shit

 

[Prince Vultan]

"pick up a The One"

Shuddup a your face.

 

[Permanently A]

Well let us wager then; if the PS4 "demolishes" The One in December NPD I wont post for a week. Hell, a mod can ban me for a week. (Demolish meaning outsell by 80 to 100k). Now if The One is ahead of the PS4 then you'll have to post the following: "I was wrong about NPD, The One is outselling the PS4".

Deal?

Confirmed for Denis Dyack

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

This thread was like an early Xmas present. Lol

 

[slapnuts]

... Does ANYONE even call it "The One" but him? That seems pretty much only the domain of overzealous fans, the kind that actually took the 4chan post as gospel (or at least liked the idea of it enough.)

He's even capitalizing The, how does that not scream pretentious?

I believe it just really took off when "someone i know" was pretending to be a MS Exec and posted at Misterxmedia about 4 or 5 days ago. I know the guy that posted there as MS exec trying to play around with the fans of misterxmedia and he (this so called MS Exec talked about how they all call it "The One" at MS) There is an article there talking about it lol

amazing.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I'm dying x__x

 

[Demon Ice]

I went to my local The Target and they had several The Ones in stock, I may pick up a The One or two for some of my good The Friends.


I almost had a The Aneurysm typing that.

 

[I2amza]

Not trying to gang up on the poor chap, but "a The One" made me burst out laughing.

 

[RedNumberFive]

I hope Microsoft's astroturfers are getting overtime pay over the holiday.

 

[Eusis]

I hope Microsoft's astroturfers are getting overtime pay over the holiday.

Considering there's only one guy, yeah, he'd probably have earned it.

But no, I think he's just The Fan.

 

[Finalizer]

Woah, missed this from a few pages ago, can another insider like Mort comment on this, like is there anyone else here who knows if this is accurate or not?

Because if it is, holy shit that's just nuts. That would mean ~1m/month for the US alone, and would imply that Sony could be well over the suggested million/month manufacture rate as suggested by Pachter. Considering the rate of sales in Spain alone, and that it's likely that UK/France/Germany/etc. are likely receiving much larger shipments, and on top of that the number of countries that PS4 officially launched in just this month... Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.

 

[spekkeh]

Now I finally understand why Microsoft went with a staggered release. Releasing in the US and UK first is the only way to make the public believe there are actually people who want this thing.

He clarified that its only data for one particular week he was not claiming 240k everyweek of december.

Fixed.

Should have went with The One Fan

MS PR: In Spain the Xbox One is the fastest selling Xbox One!

 

[The One and Done™]

Love ya bish. *hugs*

 

[llehuty]

Bitter The Four fans ITT

but why am I not surprised since they have no The Games to play

Should have went with The One Fan

Lmao this thread keeps on giving.

Back on topic, Spain has always been Sony land, even last gen. No surprises here.

 

[Rivver]

Am I the only one who cringes at people using "the One" to refer to the xbox one?

 

[Carnby]

Someone should have told The One And Done that The Rock is the one. The Rock is the chosen one.

 

[The One and Done™]

Am I the only one who cringes at people using "the One" to refer to the xbox one?

No. There seem to be many folks that physically react to certain syntax...
