That Xbox One will arrive in the UK a week before PS4 does not give it an advantage, Sony has said.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
From The Growing Stones and Valkyrie Interactive comes The Mildew Children on Xbox and PC. Ready for the fairy tales and horror it brings?
I don't think a week advantage is going be that much of a problem
That's because they know the US is the most important market. That's something that they ignored the last time around. They learned that lesson the hard way. It's funny because this gen all sony fanboys say "the world" is more important but now it's all about the US. Now, what do we have here....lol
Don't let the usual PR fool you though they are concerned about xbox one everywhere except japan......where nintendo currently dominates.
it remains to be seen which is a better approach, but no doubt sony is more organised for launch with better supply.
Of course they're not worried. Unlike fans of a certain console, they see the region as Europe. I always find it odd that some people are prepared to imagine the UK as separate from Europe, but they never use France or Germany ... Why would that be?
It's hard to say. The last generation, both US and UK were dominated by Xbox... I would only play with one or two of my mates on the PS3, but everyone was on the 360.
Of course this generation, Microsoft have faced some very negative publicity which they haven't fully recovered from.
Coupled with that the majority of people in the UK don't even know that the WiiU exists (I'm being serious, when we saw ads in the cinema, everyone would always ask what the hell it is), the PS4 seems like the only major choice this holiday.
Microsoft even had to bundle Fifa 14 with it just to get it to sell.
I know a few lads who will be picking it up, and no doubt a lot of fans will be too because it's an Xbox... Though the week headstart, I can only assume it won't give any significant advantage.
