I'm surprised at the lack of Amazon hourly chart posts in this thread.
(THANK GOD)

But hey, as I've had a bit too much to drink lets take a look at Amazon.

Well you see the PS4 is at #25, #26 and #70 for June whilst the Xbox One is at #27, #53 and #54.

So it's simple guyz. all you got to do is add up the PS4 numbers which is um... = 121.
Then you add up Xbox One which = 134.

Now the difference there is 13..... remember the last two months... 13k....! Coincidence? I think not!

Now anyway, What you do is get the PS4 total of 121 and times it by the highest ranking on Amazon which is 25 = 3025. Then you divide that by the 13 number we worked out earlier = 232. Then you add the lowest ranking SKU which is 70 to the total and you get 302. So the PlayStation 4 all in one entertainment system will clearly sell 302k this month.

Then you do the same for Xbox 134x27= 3618. Then like before, 3618/13 = 278. But instead of adding we're going to take away 54k which = 224k this month for the Xbox One Computer Entertainment system.

This post was made in order to inform new junior members how to effectively use Amazon to create arguments about which console is selling better. I suggest this method to help get you banned asap.



What.....? Don't look at me like that!



Wouldn't the real Zhuge Liang be the BEST Zhuge?

I like Takeshi Kaneshiro in Red Clif! :)

This is a new era for math :p

You should try it man, whiskey is love, whiskey is life.

I've never taken whiskey myself :p

I'm a bitch when it comes to alcoholic beverages. I take one sip of any and I want it out of my mouth the instant after.

And now my v key is acting up. God.

I wish I could control myself like you can when it comes to alcoholic beverages. Drinking is not a very good thing for a 17 year old. ;)

That's Numberwang!

Why are people acting so surprised? Microsoft Chad was like 13

Microsoft Chad probably has more alts than candles on his cake.

I feel like all I do is come into these threads and lol at the Chad-a-likes, but I prefer to leave the numbers to those who (mostly!) know what they're talking about, and just read. Lolling at Chad's is all I know :(

There were mass bannings in thread about the death of Satoru Iwara. People got little too emotional about demanding the banner of GAF to be changed.

For cying out loud. He was a very important figure in the industry, and it was sad news eventhough I don't own a single Nintendo platform, but I don't remember people demanding the same when Jobs died.

This is a gaming forum.

Everyone knows Steve Jobs as late, great Co-Founder and CEO of Apple, Inc., and that alone makes him a major historic figure in classic computer games, but one little tidbit that has been nearly forgotten in the history of gamedome is that one of Jobs first gigs in the industry was as a designer on one of Atari’s most successful video games.

...

While working there, Jobs was tapped by Pong designer Allan Alcorn to build out an affordable circuit board for a new game idea conceived by Atari founders Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow. The basic concept was a single-player variation of Pong, only instead of two paddles bouncing a ball back and fourth, the game would have a paddle hitting a ball against a series of blocks, breaking one apart every time it hit.

The final title of the game was Breakout.

If you mean June, then no. Two PS4 SKU's are at #25 and #26 while the AC Unity XB1 bundle is right behind at #27. The positions are much closer than many of us would have expected and I highly doubt it will change. Anyway, as we all know, the monthly charts won't give an accurate representation of the numbers or the gap between the two, so I'm still sticking with my predictions. But if you wanna get banned, then take ZHuge's advice.

Although the positions are close we have 2 PS4 SKUS against 1 XO SKU, that menas 2x PS4 against XO given the positions. But of course, we're ignoring the other SKUS and this is just a retailer ranking, far from the actual truth then.

Oh, I'm still expecting a very large gap between the two. It's just that the Amazon monthly charts are not the way to accurately tell

Funny post but i wouldn't be surprised if this was close to the results.

I still expect a 100K difference though.

EDIT-

Never knew we had kids on gaf.

Hey, watch it, old man! I'll have you know that 17 year old's are not kids. In some parts of the world, 17 year old's have already married. So you see, we're mature. Even ESRB says so.

I'm kidding. Waiting for the numbers is boring.

School isn't that bad unless you are sitting for the examination of your life at the end of the year. Unfortunately, I am :( But after that's all done, I'll be getting a PS4 ;)

Also, as a side note, I'm surprised people were shocked to find out that I'm 17. My username literally states the year of my birth :p
