CBOAT is officially my favourite thing about NeoGAF these days.

Now I'm getting hyped enough to be up at 3am for the Sony conf!

Not sure if I need to run a bath though.

I can actually believe the claim that all launch units will be sold. Still, they will have other tools to predict their current prospects, and those might still show a negative outlook. After all, dropping Kinect is a strategic possibility, not a fact. Given how much shit Microsoft is getting for bundling Kinect, they would be stupid to not consider and analyze that option at least.

Oh no doubt that's true but that's also further evidence to the claim of yield issues. If you know you're going to sell out, you make MORE consoles and get them to as many territories as possible. Right now they're getting considerably less pre orders than the PS4 and still having to cut back territories to able to manufacture enough.

Or they just realised you can't make a moba for a controller without watering it down to the point where you might as well not bother anymore.

Then again that never stopped them with first person shooters either
I swear half your posts are dedicated to shitting on controllers, lol.

I for one honestly do not believe cbot (no hard feelings or disrespect ) as I believe he was wrong / mistaken when he said that mirrors edge will be shown at MS e3 which it wasn't + all the other things that he said are vague and u would never know the truth, here is a truthfact from me ( xbox one live to have extra awesome stuff we will know about later and Sony had a hardware problem with the ps4 but they fixed it) lol

This time. He said there is an exclusive game from platinum, this can be known very shortly either tgs or the event in 2 day, if nothing happens then the dude just post some random stuff and they are either hit or miss,

This is of course IMO and please do not quote me to argue that, I will believe that dude when I see that platinum xbox exclusive game,

And to be honest, I would love him to be wrong because I would be pissed if MS secured an exclusive game from platinum as I really love the developers and I am already in love with Titan fall

Yepp, yield issues are pretty much confirmed by multiple sources of direct and indirect evidence.

Gies vs Cboat!!!!

EDIT: Just to remind people, the dude is a person regardless of if you disagree. For the asshat who came straight in with "you're full of shit". Wish I had that as a disclaimer before I got quoted to hell.

Serious question: What has Gies ever been right about, as far as predictions go? It's easy to say that everything someone else says is wrong. It's much harder to actually make claims yourself.

And why is that?

You insulted the Xbone. How dare you!

It's a pretty ridiculous hyperbole. Nothing atm is inherently negative about the Xbox One. It's just not as stellar as the PS4 to many people. Your analogy would actually make sense if instead of "STD infested hooker" it was a decent looking girl that you just don't like. The analogy was over the top.

Those clouds look like asses. It gives me a Tomba vibe. lol

But man, I am so ready for an October release. There are plenty of current gen games coming out that I want, but I just can't wait to get that sexy piece of hardware in my hands. So slick.

And if the Xbox One does come out with a kincect-free SKU, I will go for that sometime.

Praise the Cboat!

I will take CBOATS word over his any day. Plenty of MS shills on that board. We have pretty legit sources here.

Well to be fair he's "confirmed " (presumably by a Mod), just like CBOAT and others here are confirmed. Disagree with him if you want but there's no point calling him a shill if he actually works at MS.

One thing I will say tho is cboat called 360 red ring/heating problems before it launched. So he has some pretty good connects for the most part

The point is that Amazon's actual sales rankings are useless to predict, say, the next month's NPD numbers (may they rest in peace), so why would you think that their pre-order numbers are going to tell you anything?

The fact that MS is panicking is the strongest evidence we have that the XBO is tanking, far stronger than Amazon.

I completely agree. I also am completely fine with a company panicking/getting desperate. Sony turned the PS3 from a shiny, overpriced, underutilized afterthought in the 3 man race into a console capable of competing with the 360 on nearly all fronts. Sega also released what many people regard(not rose-tinted memories, it has 4 of my top 50 games) as one of the greatest consoles in their downfall. I want to see how desperate MS handles this all.

So for the record.... You honestly believe that the Xbox One will outsell PS4 in the states at launch? Ok, man. I'll take note of this comment.

I honestly believe that both of them will perform well and that the Xbox One won't be a catastrophe at launch as I've read several times here on NeoGaf.
 
The question is if that is true where is the 360 hoilday software? Looking at Sonys line up, it looks more like they were planning for a 2014 release.


Well, Sony always has loads of games for the end of their consoles' life cycles.

I think they both planned long ago for this year. Otherwise, third party devs wouldn't have any games ready.

Xbone = Ex-STD infested hooker.
There's still the faint smell of shame about her.


Better?

Lucky me, all my family members are old enough to understand rules. I simply tell them to always put the case back when they are done and in order, or they simply don't get to use them.

It's not that hard to put something in the same spot you find it in and saves enough time when you know what movie you are looking for.

I spend a lot time trying to figure out which case The Last Of Us ended up in when on of my kids go to play Madden or whatever they go after. Been better since I got them their own PS3 tho.
 
Sony SOLD more PS3s than 360 after launching 18 months later with a $200 more expensive console.

MS is guaranteed to lose this gen sales wise, the whole company is freaking out just to minimize this loss, and its showing.


So what you're saying is....Based on Sony's ability to come back, it is impossible for MS to pull off the SAME feat.??
In the end it's the games that will prove the numbers. And precious few of us have actually played any.
 

I feel like his responses are pretty canned. "NOPE NO PROBLEMS HERE JUST SUNSHINE AND HAPPINESS". Is it really that unreasonable to think that M$ would put an xbox dev "leaker" in the subreddit? I don't think it's beyond their means and capabilities.

That said, I'd trust CBoat over the anonymous guy any day of the week.

It's not like Sony actively tried to comeback. The PS3 just has stronger sales than the 360.

I would be surprised if that guy doesn't have some sort of official permission to post. It's also a bit unlikely that Microsoft wouldn't take measures to "be visible" to the rather small audience that reads rumors on the internet and analyzes leaked hardware specs. And admitting that the Xbone's specs are worse "on paper" but that this is not the whole story is exactly what somebody having that kind of official mission would write.

Eh, I wasn't even commenting on the "quality" of xbone, just my level of personal interest. Plus there's nothing wrong with being over the top. I wasn't being hyperbolic or taking a jab at bone fans, just using colorful language to express myself.

We're in a crazybuttocks thread dude.

ha, I actually like that one. way too specific for an off-handed remark, but it gets the job done.

Why are you changing your tune so fast? I made a remark that PS4 will outsell MS in the US at launch, and you laughed at the idea. Stand by your original assertion, or admit you were hasty in your mocking of my opinion. It's quite simple.

I'd say yes it's impossible for Microsoft to pull in those kind of numbers. They don't have the global reach that Playstation has. Xbox is too US centric, and the staggered Xbone launch indicates that nothing is changing that in the future.

Yea some of his responses were very PR like. The one about yield issues he says "we'll sell out at launch" doesn't refute the yield issues and cutting back from 21 countries at launch to 13 pretty much confirmed it and cboat verified it beforehand in that forum

You don't know CBOAT. He's probably 90%+ accurate.

Isn't it more fun when that happens though? Look at how entertaining it was when the rumours of DRM hit and everyone laughed. Then it hit! It was hysterical to watch the sudden backtracking of logic and the out and out denial, which eventually lead to some people actually wanting it back when MS had to drop it because of pre-order numbers (come on, we know that's the reason)
