Xbox One and PlayStation 4 both sold over a million units in their first 24 hours on sale. Sony was quick to announce even higher figures following the second of PlayStation 4’s staggered launch dates, thanking players for the console’s 2.1 million sales across 32 markets. Some 250,000 PS4s were sold within 48 hours of its UK launch, the fastest-selling console in the region’s history, putting it dramatically ahead of the 150,000 Xbox Ones that sold in the same amount of time.
But early figures are a poor indicator of longterm results.
TheGamer recently spoke with lead editor Josh Malone and senior translator Dan Sunstrum about their work localising the Like a Dragon series at Sega.
Working as a prequel to the 2019 Dollhouse, Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror will release on Xbox, PlayStation and PC via SOEDESCO
Out now on consoles and PC, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles aims to be a different type of city builder, but it doesn't quite hit the spot.
My PS4 release date is February 22 2014, until now, no promises that I want has been forgotten. :D
Thats an excellent article and spot on the money.if it underlines one thing, it's that Sony and Microsoft need each other to drive the competition and benefit all gamers that have invested in this generation.
Kudos to the 'new' listening Sony. It wont all happen overnight but with Yoshida providing a relatable gaming personality, it really shows where the battle for hearts, minds and sales, can be won.
The promises that I want (MP3 playback, DLNA, External HDD streaming, Extended headset support for both wired and bluetooth...legacy and new, Dashboard personalization and customization, Friends list enhancements, Web browser enhancements, *youtube videos wont even play* game mode suspension/resume, The ability to jump into another person's game and "help them" by taking over their controls for them, *we saw this at E3* One On One video chats with friends *video sessions that are private, NOT broadcasted to millions of people around the world, The ability to use PURCHASED PSN avatars on your PS4 *instead of being restricted to default avatars* And lastly....GAIKAI, the supposed solution to backwards compatibility on the PS4, cloud based streaming service.)Will or should all be coming in future firmware updates.
My question is...how long are they gonna take to get these features rolled out? Months, years? After having a foundation to copy and mimic from, on the PS3...I cant see how it would take the PS4 as long as it took the PS3 to get all these features and abilities off the ground.
Based on my understanding, the first MAJOR firmware update should go live "sometime" this month. I can only hope they cram as much as I've listed above, in this one single update.
As much as I love my PS4, and I knew what I was getting into, buying a launch model...I just hate the waiting game. LOL.
Wow, that article made some heavy hits against Xbox, like jawbreaking punches. I was originally going to buy an X1, I was one of the Supporters of the DRM, and Cloud gaming, but after really researching it, reading every article, 2 months before launch, I immediately changed my mind, then the Forza 5 200 vehicles and microtrans hit, I was in awe, how did a great console like the 360 fell from grace so quick, the machine and games that are out now are not like the E3/MS revealed, I'm very disappointed on MS.
Also I never new all these awesome games came with plus, although I'm sad I had to sell my ps3 for a vita, sony is really giving a buttload of great games with plus!
Wait but the Xbox one isn't sold out.
