Predictions for EU launch GAF?
If they could ship 2 million, they could sell it, the furor and hype for it here is insane.
Predictions for EU launch GAF?
Big big difference if that's correct. Wow.
I'm struggling to see why people are saying "Shipped not sold" when it seems that the console is sold out almost everywhere.
Is this the 1st stage of denial?
Jesus. Best GIF by a mile. Fuggin awesome
Congratulations, Sony.
Consumers congratulating a corporation is a real Jackie Chan meme for me. What is it about consumer electronics that makes people treat it like a sporting event?

Every single unit shipped, UK might be the only country in the world where Xbox One outsells PS4 due to 360 vs PS3 sales and Fifa bundle.
Title should be updated. Sold through, not just shipped.

Maybe. I don't think the number of units Sony shifts is going to alter the spiral towards mediocrity and projects greenlit based on return on investment that's been happening in the last decade.
Even then, I find it weird. Like do we congratulate Colgate on selling a boatload of a new toothpaste?
Incredible numbers.
Won't mean much for a while, but if Sony keeps it up, it's going to have a massive influence on where third parties focus their efforts this gen.

...how?! There isn't even anything really good for it and there's no Wii-esque novelty factor. Mind you I'm getting it tomorrow and I'm incredibly hyped for what's to come, and glad to hear this, but right now I really don't understand what's driving this kind of insane reception. Maybe the marketing in the media is really phenomenal? I'm pretty insulated from that kind of thing.

Yeah, quite a difference in that case .

Many many many sales. The question is, can PS4 beat Xbox in England?
But consoles are dead.
The world is too busy playing Facebook games on their iPads or whatever.

It'll be interesting to see how it holds up after the holiday season.
It should be fun to watch Jan-Mar where the releases are way more sparse, and the core early-adopters get all of theirs.

What's the Wii U LTD in the US?
Anecdotal, but I'm guessing 'yes'. There are plenty of places where I can still preorder an XBone, but try and preorder a PS4 and you'll get a vague 'maybe before Xmas'. They'll sell whatever they ship over here for a while, I reckon.Many many many sales. The question is, can PS4 beat Xbox in England?
What's the Wii U LTD in the US?
Driveclub is in Jan and Infamous is in March. Feb looks dry. Not sure about third party releases though.
How big is 1 million on 1st day?
