November NPD should be interesting.
Does it even matter anymore? They've sold through 30mil - numbers are becoming redundant at his point.

Let's see. This is what some posters said about the PS4 bundle on announcement for Black Friday:
"Weak offer"
"Bad bundle IMO" "I just don´t think that´s the right bundle for Black Friday."
"Yep, very weak bundle."
" I also think it's kind of a weak bundle."
"This bundle is terrible for Black Friday."
"I still think this is kind of a weak bundle."
Of course the others that rightly called out that price trumps everything at Black Friday also exist.

PS4 has the Star Wars bundle too. COD bundle is also available, but not nearly as attractive right now.
No he isn't. He is one of my Gaf PS4 buds.

The UC bundle is worth it for the $300 PS4 alone. You do not want the game, $15-20 code on eBay.
I went to BB on Thanksgiving day for haha's with a friend who dragged me out. I was like, fuck it, I will people watch (never been to any BF or pre-BF event... ever). I am glad I did, I grabbed one of the last 2 copies of Until Dawn for $20. Told myself I would buy it when it hit $40 around this time, and I got an even better deal.
Anywho, I walked by a pallet of the UC PS4's that had about 25 on them, went over to the TV's, and in the span of 10 minutes tops, the pallet was picked dry. The isle that had about 50-75 stacked through it was getting picked at the rate of 1-2 every minute. Walked by it before I left, and there was probably 12 left. I was in the store no more than a 1/2 hour. That was the day before BF, and not even the weekend.
People wanted those PS4's after their dinner, lol.

This information is pretty much in line with what I've seen at Best Buy yesterday.

Yesterday was awful. It seems fine today.
And Andrew House is a beast of a businessman. No way was he just going to hand over the holiday to MS again.
Yesterday was a single big one (partial) but today there have been 3 notable (partial) PSN outages.
I say partial because it seems to be either related to your geographic region or just purely random because I have been wholly unaffected even though I played a ton the last two days.

I was on playing BF all day yesterday (from about noon till 8 ish). Took a break for a few hours working on a portfolio, then went back on around 11pm til 2:30am EST and not a single issue. Southeast US.
Same.
Here in italy yesterday was perfect, when i've seen the topic for PSN Down i've tried to login and play a match with Battlefront and no problem at all (and arround 20 friend in my list where playing online).
Anyway is this report really accurate? Because if i'm reading right the data they use for collect this report come from a small number of people (150.000)

I'm pretty sure the outages were caused by Lizard Squad not over usage. At least according to their Twitter.
They're great for filling kids/extra rooms.
Not in italy dude XD Well at least we know that PS4 did well during BF.
It's not that weird considering Unchared 4 is coming soon. Reel those new PS4 players in with uncharted bundle and then sell them 4 this spring.

it has risen
Only thing that matter here is the price.
Can't wait for my 300GB reset, so I can get this Cruncyroll sub and watch the rest of this show.
EDIT: Oh, and congrats, Sony.
LMFAO! I understood that reference.
Sometimes I feel like the only person who has a house with only one television.

I went to two best buys and both only had a handful of those, so I doubt that would even make a dent a total sales numbers.
Star Wars was discounted? afaik only Uncharted was discounted.
Always do. America can't resist my package.
Is that from Animatrix?
$350. The way the Tomb Raider bundle was discounted to $350.
Most people can do the math and realize that a $300 bundle with a game and then buying Battlefront is a better deal than spending $350 for just the Battlefront bundle.

Just goes to show those pictures are not reflective of actual sales. Looks like the PS4 BOSSED it again! Good Jobn Sony, It's just unstoppable at this point.

$99 is tough because the ps2 was a much simpler machine with fewer parts.
It's tough to include 500gb of storage, a blu Ray player and license, WiFi, and Ethernet into a $99 package, even without the cost of the gpu/ram/motherboard.

if uncharted remaster outsells ROTR...
It will because its bundle eveywhere not just at one store.
Which is actually quite a feat by Sony if true, because they have to stock much more worldwide than Microsoft.
The TR Bundle was a retailer exclusive? That seems unwise.

No it isn't discounted, but it is $349 which is what most of the major Xbox One bundles(holiday bundle, Fallout, Tomb Raider) cost as well.
Yes Best Buy only. Probably only made the minimum amount as stipulated by the contract.
Well they are anecdotes, they don't tell the whole thing.

Lol you say that like it's a bad thing. I mean, I agree w/ you on the 110-120 million figure for LTD but that's still highly significant in its own right and right between PS1 and PS2 in sales.
Moreover, that'd make PS4 magnitudes more profitable than the both of them and PS3 put together, and that's saying A LOT!
Sony doesn't have to pay for the bluray license iirc b/c they kind of helped invent the standard itself.
