i think watch dogs will get below average review scores and they wont release it 1 week earlier. when people see the score, they might skip the ps4 version
I'm repeating what's out there. Unless there's this mass drop in/cancellation of ore-orders (totally possible) then yeah, seems like PS4 has X1 beat this Christmas.
Like, I'm asking - say it release a week early: So what? Sony doubles down on advertising earlier than planned and everyone just waits a week? This isn't how they get the edge. They're releasing in half as many countries at that? I dunno. I'm just talking about Christmas though.
Anyone, even Xbox fanboys, approaching this subject rationally suspect that XB1 will be beaten this Holiday, just due to supply issue. The rest of the generation is another story. But for people to adamantly refuse to acknowledge first hand reports and numbers, in lieu of their rampant fantasies, is pretty nuts. But hey, Console Warz.
And if PS4 still outsells XB1 in NA... ouch.
Not buying it.
Giving how far behind they seem to be in optimizing their tools, every extra week is critical. My money is on Nov. 22.
The lulz would be epic. Truly epic.Imagine if the Xbox One had its own RROD fiasco?
Where is the source for XB1 having supply issues?

I can't believe anyone actually believes that nonsense.
It's possible there will be far more actually built PS4's to sell regardless of what launch dates are.

I can't tell if the OP is being sarcastic or not.
A one week head start will help them a whole lot?
If it doesn't come out before the ps4 something is horribly wrong. They just cut down on launch countries. If they can't get units ready for what's left before the 15th I'm taking that as a sign that their manufacturing is fucked.
That makes sense to me. Text is one thing, but voice recognition is another difficult beast. Implementing those languages isn't trivial by a long shot.
They could still have a supply issue, but I'd be shocked if this wasn't true to at leaf an extent.
I'm referring to their SDK tools, which by all accounts are still being heavily optimized.They're not busy tweaking tools and design of the hardware in the last 3-4 weeks before release lol. That's when they're mass producing, organizing and shipping units and talking to retailers and partners.

With Call of Duty audience it sure will. Have the game first, have DLC first, have that Ghosts bundle where you get 50 % off of the game basically - could be enough to make an impact. As in "I wanted to switch to PS4 but now my CoD buddy has already bought an X1, dedicated servers are there, oh well..."
Yeah right, How do you explain dropping Swiss from the list of launch countries?

Is it usual for a company to "find" increases in their hardware this close to launch? The GPU went from 1.23 TFLOPS to 1.31 TFLOPS after that presser today about the hardware of the machine.
What do you think?Hopefully this isn't an "answer to Sony", and is something they fully intended. I would hate for them to be causing development and supply issues just for the sake of getting ahead.
Wasn't that boost from the 50ish mhz up clock they talked about weeks ago?

Tell me you don't believe they're actually having localization issues.
Tell me you don't believe that.

I'm starting to rethink my thoughts on November. I don't think there's going to be many units on shelves for either system in the first few weeks so launching first doesn't really mean much for either. It will just be filling preorders.
A year headstart couldn't help them, what good will a week in 'tier one' only do?
A hint, rhymes with cuffing.
I think they pulled it from some countries to have more in others, simple as that.
In addition, launching a english-only Xbox would still be much better than launching no Xbox prior Holiday at all.
