Next you're going to say Santa will be bring your Xbox on the 25th....

Funny enough, he already did use a Christmas story with the Xbox One.

Yeah check again. Those units are long gone. They are gracefully tucked under a Christmas tree somewhere.

 

[KMS]

Even worse. Nazi T-Rex zombies.

Made me think of this quote lol

And then, for the final level, you get to have some real fun by combining all the programs into one jumble -- where you run around on the surface of the sun fighting a boss character, who happens to be Hitler riding atop a T-Rex, which has photon torpedo launchers on either side of its head.

The creature pitched this idea to Microsoft, apparently stressing the importance of the "holodeck" construct and how immeasurably valuable it is to include Hitler in the game... and got the following response from the rep on the phone...
"Your ideas are incoherent, trite, cliche, derivative, they directly rip off other games and movies, and they flat out suck. In fact, we would gladly PAY you not to ever call back."

*on topic - Still no stock

Moral of the story... Being a sales expert doesn't necessarily means that you're a forum expert.

Everyone caring about Polo and no one caring about ari is disappointing.

Ah but is it amazingly terrible or terribly amazing?

 

[Aj174]

[Iacobellis]

Someone photoshop the Xbox One into a tortoise shell.

Did the opposite.

Yessum I do want

 

[SwiftDeath]

What is the PS4 Camera doing at the top?

PLAYROOM!

Ice-T moves units

 

[GeoramA]

'Just wait for the NPD's!'

And ari was back for what, about 5 minutes? lol

I guarantee you we'll see "wait for Titanfall" when the NPD thread comes out.

[Aj174]

lmao where do you guys grab these gifs, i want some

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Damn I missed it. I still need two units for gifts. It's gonna be a mission.

 

[jayu26]

lmao where do you guys grab these gifs, i want some

Some come from google, some come from personal collection and some are gaf original.

 

[davepoobond]

Let me enlighten you a little bit Junior. It's story time.

Remember the story the tortoise and the hare? Well in this situation the hare is PS4 and the turtle is the xbone. Sony is doing all this bragging about numbers and such and the tortoise is moving steady not saying much but keeping the supply flowing. Do I need to finish the story because you know who wins in the end.

Haha

 

[cuzintheboss]

Let us mourn

lmao this amazing!!!

 

[SwiftDeath]

You mean Ice-T.

Wow now that was a typo. Yes def meant Ice-T

My bad

 

[slapnuts]

Yeah I win. I didnt buy either of them and with that extra cash I can now buy every single game on Steam.

Well with a nice gaming PC that i built last summer with a 3770K, 7970 VaporX, 16gb ram,etc,etc. Even i know there are plenty of console exclusives that never see the light of day on the PC. As much as i love PC gaming which i obviously do if i built a decent gaming rig recently...i would be a fool to say there is not any need for a next gen console. There is NO WAY i could go this entire generation without a PS4. The PS4 and my gaming PC make the ultimate gaming experience imho.

Some people are fine with just PC gaming but for me..with the love and passion i have for gaming..i couldnt even fathom missing out on all the Sony exclusives on their new rock'n hardware!

 

[OdysseusVA]

The one day I don't check

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Wow now that was a typo. Yes def meant Ice-T

My bad

That segment of the Playroom on Fallon was a HUGE catalyst in getting the Playroom ball rolling.

 

[dolabla]

Damn! These PS4's go out of stock quick. My buddy has been looking for one since before Black Friday and he hasn't found one. I've been trying to help him, but they're just going too quick.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

xbones still available.

only pertinent if you want one.

 

[tazz3]

It sold out faster then x1

I thought they made turtle soup in the end.

Are they not shipping enough? Or is the demand really that high? How fast are they shipping these things?

 

[slapnuts]

People need to stop calling me a console warrior. Both consoles are great. Both have great games. My expertise however is sales so with that being said expect a meltdown during NPD. MS is going to send a shock wave though GAF.

[DidntKnowJack]

So how long did these actually last? If it was really only a few minutes, I have to believe the stock they had was extremely low. Man, Sony really needs to get those PS4's out there. Strike while the iron's hot.

Around 20 minutes.

2m vs 1m WW launch is big. They did get ps4's out there.

Maybe it's a few hundred or less ps4's compared to a few thousand x1's, but it's still a long time for x1's to sit there waiting to be nabbed.

 

[B.O.O.M]

It sold out faster then x1

To be fair it doesn't mean much without any idea of stock vs demand at this point. MS simply could have brought in a bigger amount of consoles

They need to get those stock out as quickly as they can when there's still demand out there.

 

[AgentP]

My boss scored one today despite telling me he was buying a XB1. I think he finally did some research, lol.

I think he was trying to fake you out, you'd better watch out.

 

[WolvenOne]

Oh, sold out already?

Well, good, I was at the gym when I read about them coming back in, and I knew that if they still had them when I got home, I'd be seriously tempted to do the financially irresponsible thing. XD

Remember kids, spend responsibly. XD

 

[hawk2025]

At this point, it would have to be more than five times the PS4 stock to "equal out" the time it took to sell out.

Who knows, maybe there's a chance.


On the other hand, the PS4 has climbed up to #6 on the list, with the Xbox One nowhere to be seen -- unless Amazon has grouped the sales under the "Day One Edition" at #11:

They're not. Only resellers at the day one edition page.

799 and 899 from 3rd parties. Who's that delusional/desperate?

Grats to everyone who got one.

He was right; the fact that Bones are still available on Amazon clearly shows that Microsoft is not only outselling the Ps4 but that they are more prepared to meet demand. Solid win for the Bone..
