It was gonna happen eventually! ... Hopefully microsoft will fire out a shareplay / Freeview recording firmware update & they'll pretty much have the perfect console! 👍
I'm only messing, posted the same via a facebook post to reel em in with my fishing rod.
I don't actually care who sells how many, I own both consoles and happy with both
There was also Halo which would have helped. Even if it wasn't a totally new game, Was still Halo.
If you want some, I'll give it yer
You got not fans
Very true and didn't Sunset Overdrive come out last month ? Or at least the end of October so it besides from having another exclusive. And I think it rated high enough.
To sell over a million consoles in a month is a damn good feat.
This
and this
Sums up my thoughts pretty well
Yep. On amazon they had loads of black friday deals (probably shifting stock?) so not a surprise. Xbox had the better exclusives as well at the end of the year.
Anyway, only 1 month - PS4 still has the overall lead.
Although I hope it makes Sony buck up their ideas and start releasing UI updates more often etc!!
Its nice to see both console performing well and getting healthy sales.
Sony got criticised last generation for updating their console too often, the 360 way of large infrequent updates was the preferred approach by the majority of gamers.
Indeed - but it's a joke how little the PS4 has been updated - especially when features announced ages ago haven't made it yet - such as the suspend / resume feature.
Xbox one has monthly updates - much better..!
The question now is whether or not it's sustainable. On one hand they can't keep practically giving the thing away but at the same time if the offers dry up we could see demand drop like a stone.
Time will tell if they have they have conjured up enough momentum to make them a real contender for the next-gen crown.
The PS4 needs some organisation. The UI looks like a cluttered mess now.
I agree not really a fan of the UI so far. I miss the XMB which i thought was a great UI.
cboat lied, it was closer to 400k.
Really
I disagree, I won't claim it's perfect but it's not a cluttered mess.
If anything I would of said the xbone UI is a cluttered mess in comparison.
This is just my opinion and not to start any fanboy war's, I own both, and having used both I get on pretty well with with the ps4 UI, it's pretty quick and swift, easy to navigate, xbone is the opposite, slow, clunky and not always easy to find my way around for what I'm looking for.
Question is does anybody really give a s**t whos sold more consoles than the other.
If someone wants to buy a sony product they will and if they dont they wont. Besides which it doesnt really matter as long as your enjoying what product your using.
I have only had my PS4 a few days so haven't really got used to it yet, but I don't really like the bar of recently played games or the fact you cant folder games up. From what I have seen of it I don't like the Xbox 1 UI either, it just seems to have boxes all over the place.
I liked the simplicity of the XMB.
Of course people care. Just look at the responses to this thread. Competition is a good thing. Since Microsoft have cut prices and its been a success for them perhaps Sony will cut prices too? Especially with Christmas coming up! This is a huge time of year for sales and its vital to get it right. A company can't become lazy or complacent about sales.
Yes ultimately people will enjoy their console but if the games aren't up to much they may look else where.
Christmas is here my friend, most consoles are wrapped and either under a tree or in a cupboard
I think everybody who owns a console hope their console of choice does well, heck, it's probably the basis for all fanboism
I've been an Xboner for the best part of its existence, so naturally this news will give me some sense of satisfaction.
But like I said earlier, this is probably the X1 going though an inevitable phase of catch up as the massive PS4 sales slow or even decline.
