Well people who wished for a PS4 probably got one already :P

malokevi3773d ago

lol.

then I guess we can expect a massive (complete?) drop off in PS4 sales, by that logic?

Rockefellow3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

You don't need to be an a**hole, Zod. All he did was respond to your phrasing in a sensible way. He even opened his comment with "lol."

malokevi3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

No offense intended...

usually I interpret :P as "neener neener neeeeeneeerrr"

and with comments like these:

"Well a golden Xbox is something I would never use for myself I'd just sell it if I got it for free ...the same goes for a normal Xbox lol "

Is your history, I'm more than justified in interpreting it that way! My sense of humor is well tuned, thanks :)

On another note, this article went from 3 to 50 comments in the time it took me to refresh the page, and it's at 250 degrees. I don't understand how this website works.

Good to see xbox catching up in one place in the world.

Meanwhile..
http://n4g.com/news/1414185...

Good luck to MS in japan..

Once again people act like america = the world.

xbox 360.
1) make EA game xbox/pc exclusive(mass effect till sequel)
2)push dlc the most
3)bring in core gamers then abandon them for kinect.
4)americans happy

xbox one.
1) make EA game xbox/pc exclusive(titanfall till sequel)
2)push micro-transaction the most
3)bring in core gamers while forcing kinect early.
4)americans happy

They never learn.

Most of the COD players have seemed to gone ps4 rout. So it's over lol BF dlc won't help xbox they need COD crowd back.

Last gen it was "most of my friends play on 360".
Now it's the opposite.. Also I hate cod.

Sony has the AAA talent, popularity and the COD crowd.. SMH.. and no competition in japan + top selling micro console for cheap.

When it comes to home console gaming Sony is #1.

PS1 was #1, ps2 was #1, ps3 was #2, ps4 #1.. not bad. Guess the king is back.

Went into gamestop the other day and saw loads of Xbox Ones... Went into Sam's club today and saw an entire display of Xbox Ones... If the demand is supposedly so great why aren't they selling..

Not to mention I ordered an Xbox One from Best buy online 2 days ago (I assumed they would be out of stock in my area.. there are alot of 360 supporters here) then literally 5 minutes after I ordered my One online my friend called me up and asked if I wanted to go make a quick gamestop run with him.. I said sure and when I got there I was suprised to see a sign saying they had Xbox Ones in stock.. so I called Best Buy and told them I just put in my order like 15 minutes ago and asked if I could cancel.. they said I could when I got home and told me how.. so I bought the Xbox One (Day One edition might I add) along with Dead Rising 3 and Ryse (both also the day one editions) at Gamestop and went home.

But when I got home and tried to cancel my order it said it had already been shipped so I couldn't cancel.. So I called up Best buy and complained and they said I could simply ship it back free of charge and i'll get refunded. But if they already had Xbox One's ready to ship within the hour of being ordered and an entire Display of them at Sam's club and Day one editions at gamestop (Sam's club could have been Day One editions too but I didn't check) I can't believe this imaginary demand that these sites are reporting.. not to mention the fact that Microsoft says they're sold out... yea... right.. on a lighter note.. Dead Rising 3 is pretty good :D but the controller.... omg the 360's controller was better.....

-----Edit-----

oh and incase your wondering PS4's were sold out at all palces I've been since launch. Can't say anything for online retailers.. I've had no reason to check.. I've had mine since launch.

mikeslemonade3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

Amazon has already been proven inconclusive to the final sales results. Time and time again X1 does better on Amazon but PS4 wins in weekly sales.

Microsoft has money-hatted Amazon to probably send out more emails about the X1. And Microsoft has supplied Amazon better while Sony has probably supplied Best Buy better.

Sono4213773d ago

umm... why the disagrees?

I'm stating facts... yet Xbox fanboys are on here calling Sony fanboys insecure.. yet I state facts and you disagree..

If I would have known I would get such a fanboy response I would have taken pictures of the displays.. but I can still take a picture of my Day one editions of everything along with the card I get for getting the Day One edition of the Xbox One.. if you really need me to do this to stop you from being ignorant i'll do so. I can even include the receipt showing that I did not buy them on launch day and in fact bought them 2 days ago.

Lalanana3773d ago

lol. Alot of butthurt sony fanboys on here.

Gosh people just accept alot people want an xbox one. Just leave it at that..no need to hate and make up excuses..

scott1823773d ago

Is this for North America Amazon? I know that Xbox is very popular here, they ramped up commercials big time. I see an Xbox commercial on all the time now, and not many PS4... I have been looking for a PS4 for a while now without being able to find one. I know that doesn't mean much. it could be Sony just can't make enough at the moment. I just see so many Xbox's everywhere I go in stock, which also could just mean they are faster at manufacturing right now.

mikeslemonade3773d ago

haha at the X1 fans who already downgraded their expectations. So you go from winning to they're gonna sell a lot. Give me a break.. They won't outsell the WiiU for another 2 years. While PS4 will pass it once they supply the systems.

Bigpappy3773d ago

@Sono421. You are getting lots of disagrees because you are wrongly assuming that because you can find some Xboxes at some stores in your area, and no PS4's, that means the PS4 is in higher demand. That is nonsense. All that means is that there is a supply shortage for PS4's and that X1 is well stocked. That is exactly why in the U.S, X1 has so far been selling more on a weekly basis since it launched.

Walked into a few gamestops, walmarts and target, was packed with Sony Fanboys with notepads writing down answers from the part time sales clerk about how many people a day ask about X1..... Yadda yadda yadda.... Sorry, thats a lie. I never did that. I was working... Then picked up my son, went home, made dinner... Rested for a bit, then got an hour of battlefield 4. How many of you people posting live a normal life? Just coincidence you are in every store, every day checking stock???

Mikeslemon, so Amazon are wrong till they report PS4 most wished for and selling more? Sono..... Thanks for the laugh.... BS stories can be fun.... How many times have I heard 'bu bu bu but I can take a picture' but no one has ever seen one......

scott1823772d ago

@Ps4beaver

Does living a "normal life" involve trolling on N4G all day and night? It seems you do enough of that, especially considering your one bubble.

Me personally, I just want to find a PS4, and yes I do notice the Xbox stock, it's kinda hard not to. I am not saying anything past that, just that I see them in stock.

CuddlyREDRUM3772d ago

Take a break from the Internet, malo.

MysticStrummer3772d ago

"Went into gamestop the other day and saw loads of Xbox Ones…"

Saw that on Sunday in a packed mall near Dallas. Stacks of XB1s sitting there and two PS4 boxes. I asked my 11 year old cousin about XB1 since he and all his friends were 360 fans, and his reply was "No. Just no."

Biggest3772d ago

I wonder why people are wishing for something that is readily available all around them. Wishing for a Xbone is like wishing for a WiiU. Just buy one and get to playing.

Spartan1193772d ago

One way to look at it is that Sony has spread themselves thin releasing in so many markets so its harder to find one whereas MS has held off on alot of the smaller markets for the X1 and not spread themselves thin in the larger markets like the US.

MWong3772d ago (Edited 3772d ago )

I wouldn't read too much into articles like this. Most wished for just means more people put the XBO on their wish list compared to the PS4. Wish list items never go away until you delete them off of your account. So a lot of these items could have been there for months.

Insecure about what? We have this gen in the bag just like last gen and the one before that.

stiggs3773d ago

@ PS3_HAS_GAMES

You "have it in the bag"? Have what? What, exactly, do YOU have? Is there some sort of trophy handed out to those that purchase the best selling console?

The perception that their is a deep rooted console war is only propagated by immature fan boys who are pathetic enough to profess allegiance to a piece of plastic and silicon.

Stop acting like you are some kind of patriotic soldier in the "war" between MS and Sony. You are nothing more than a consumer. Your association with Sony (or any other major corporation) begins and ends at the cash register.

Enough with this "My toy is better than your toy" garbage. I can't stand it any longer.

JessiePinkmanYo3773d ago

I agree with Stiggs and others saying "Fanboys" in general. Being loyal to a brand of plastic, silicon and a name badge?
When someone starts rattling about "their" system, I immediately think they're angry they didn't get the other, or (hate to sound arrogant) they are someone who flips burgers and spent everything they had on one system, too poor to afford two or three, nonetheless games for them.
If you don't own the system you bash, you have NO RIGHT to bash the competition. Your "points" are null and void, and you just parrot everything you read in forums or websites.
I've owned about every console since the Atari 2600. Some were flops (Jaguar, Sega Cd, Dreamcast) but I don't regret a single penny on anything I bought.
Just enjoy what you got and be thankful you own it. If you own a Game Boy Advance and enjoy it, more power to you! Enjoy it!

ALLWRONG3773d ago

With names like "PS3_HAS_GAMES" just shows the insecurity. Even the names have to defend Sony.

coopman3003772d ago (Edited 3772d ago )

Bubs to stiggs and jessie.

It's ok to be a fan, pathetic to be a fanboy.

OT, probably the main reason for this is that the xbox1 appeals to a wider audience while the ps4 focuses on the "hardcore" gamer. I'm more of a casual console gamer these days and spend my serious gaming time on my pc. My time on console is mostly used on apps other than gaming which is one of the main reasons i chose xb1, for its media features.

Ron_Danger3773d ago

Bestbuy.com has several bundles of xb1's right now. They had ps4's yesterday but already sold out (I only know cause I ordered one for a friend yesterday morning).

JeffGUNZ3773d ago

Wait, wasn't their a stock issue? I am assuming this is US based. Makes sense, MS is an American company. It's signs like this that should make people on this site stop crying and fighting about sales so early into this generation. It's way too early to predict one way or the other. At least wait a year, even 2-3 years to see how the trends are after the holidays and the launch hype settles down. I'm not saying one will beat the other at this point, but I think people are getting a little too fanatic a month after release.

Volkama3773d ago

It's a wish list, not a sales list. If anything a stock shortage should increase the size of the wish list.

JessiePinkmanYo3773d ago

The better question is-Unless you own stock in MS or Sony, why should you care if one falls short of outselling the other?

JeffGUNZ3772d ago

@ JessiePinkmanYo

First off, great name. Second, you're right, it doesn't matter what sells more, it only matters if the person who purchases said system enjoys their gaming experience. Unfortunately, this site continues to fight over sales which is very stale at this point. We are at a brand new generation of gaming and instead of talking about that, this site is ruined by fanboys arguing which electronic device sold more a month into their launch. It's sad.

You may be right. The Nintendo 3DS is enormously popular and didn't even appear on the wish list, maybe because most people who wanted on already have one.

Sony fans need not worry; there are bound to be plenty of early adopters and all new consoles are going to sell pretty well during this season.

Btw does anyone know if Sony will be having another PS meeting in Feb??If so we will most likely see more games there.

JeffGUNZ3773d ago

Sony has some really talented studios no doubt, but have they announced anything blockbuster at this time or do you think E3 will be the date we start seeing some pretty amazing games? I'm really being 100% serious here too. I'm really eager to see what Naughty Dog has to offer.

LaChance3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

Who are all those top tier devs ? I dont call PSASBR, Twisted Metal, Beyond, Killzone, Knack, MAG, Starhawk and all the other sub par games "top tier" anything.

How is GG for instance more "top tier" than Insomniac or Remedy when all their games score lower ?

If that is what you call "top tier" then I dont know where you've been for the last 7 years.

AngelicIceDiamond3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

@Majin Sony does have a great staple of games coming out next year. Driver Club, Infamous, Uncharted and The Order. And E3 trust me E3 you'll be drowning in games after coming out Sony's presser.

But according my estimate. Titanfall, Halo 5 and Quantum Break are the top anticipated exclusives for X1. Narrowly beating out PS4's exclusives games. "Narrowly" Meaning not by much. Infamous and The order I think are the more anticipated for PS4 games.

But The elephant in the room out of X1's games is Titanfall that is until MS drops info and shows gameplay of Halo 5 at E3.

nategrigs3773d ago

Media molecule and naughty dog are two of the best in the business. Theres talk about another getaway which could be great. However, I'm most interested in seeing what SSM has in store for us. I'm sure most have heard about the order (which soft body physics could be really impressive), but it sounds like the team that made GOW3 has been working on something huge since its release. It's supposed to have the biggest budget of anything sony has put out and is being written by a battlestar galactica writer.

Skips3773d ago (Edited 3773d ago )

@ LaChance

PSASBR wasn't made by first party...
Twisted Metal wasn't made by first party...
Beyond wasn't made by first party...
and Starhawk wasn't made by first party...

Only three of the "sub par" games were made by Sony's first party. -_-

If I were to name flop exclusives not made by Microsoft's own in house studios. I'm afraid I would run out of room in the comment box. lol

And I'm fairly certain he's talking about the multiple teams at Sony Santa Monica, the multiple teams at Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Japan Studios, Polyphony Digital, and etc. all known to be working on PS4 games.

"How is GG for instance more "top tier" than Insomniac or Remedy when all their games score lower ?"

You mean Fuse which is at a 60? Or Remedy, who's last game was a downloadable at 73/76? Anyways, why are you comparing Sony's 1st party to third parties?

"If that is what you call "top tier" then I dont know where you've been for the last 7 years."

If Sony's studios are NOT top tier than MS's own in house no name studios must be considered straight up, "bottom of the barrel". lol.

Yoko Taro Passes Respect; Says Stellar Blade Is "Much Better" Than Nier: Automata

Stellar Blade's creative director, Hyung Tae Kim, has also claimed that the game is deeply inspired by Nier: Automata.

shadowhaxor6h ago

I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.

gold_drake4h ago

u do realise that Square made Nier a franchise after Automata right?

Taro is downplaying it cause hes not a snob like most of the directors that think their games are gods gifts to the human race.

he said the same thing when being interviewed during the development of Automata too, that he couldnt have done it without the devs.

hes just a humble guy rly.

shadowhaxor4h ago

I mean, Neir existed before Automata with both OG Niers and Drakenguard. I don't count NieR Replicant, since it's a remake of the OG games. Sure, we have Reincarnation, which is still stuck on mobile devices (quite a damned shame). I just remember Taro saying he'd love to revisit Automata if Square Enix lets him. I do recall there was supposed to be a sequel to Automata, but it wasn't confirmed and I'd imagine it was just for Reincarnation.

Enjoy Taro, he seems like a cool guy, who loves the ladies and is humble. But damn, don't put down one of your masterpieces.

isarai27m ago

I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
