I don't see how it's desperate. They're trying to sell a product they have stock of. Go into GS around any major release and all you'll see is signage and advertising of that game. The only reason you don't see them doing the same thing for the PS4 is because they never have any stock of it.
I know, I know....it involves Microsoft so it automatically has to be doom and gloom. I'm just trying to add a few seconds of reason to the thread.
Wii U Outsells Xbox One The Week Before Christmas According To VGChartz
http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain...rtner=yahootix
A. It's VG Chartz and therefore made up.
B. Wii U is sold in a lot more regions than the Xbox.
C. Even with all that, stock of the Xbox One was hard to find the first few weeks before Christmas. It wasn't like it is now where you can go into any store and find one.
I also have an extremely hard time believing the PS4 sold over 300,000 systems in North America when it's been almost impossible to find. Absolutely no way.
Really CLW? Do you even read the stuff you post? When an article starts...
We’ll start with the obligatory caveat: VGChartz is a controversial website. Any sales numbers taken from the site should, for a variety of reasons, be taken with a grain of salt.
It's best to not even post it. Even the most proficient of Xbox One trolls would not even touch this.
And TGT's caveat regarding the above.Originally Posted by bdoughty
I missed where I said I believed the VGChartz #s. Could someone point me to that post? I merely posted it as it was on topic and I thought was an interesting read.
Then why post it here? Why not post in the PS4 (you know, the console you actually own) and title it "according to VG, Wii U outsells PS4 in Japan"? Makes about as much sense if you don't think their numbers are legit.
I missed where you said you did not believe in the VGChartz #s. Could you point me to that post? You merely posted it as yet another in a long line of trolling Xbox threads. Similar to how Dhook trolled the Off Topic forum with a bunch of Rap threads.
Spoiler: show
Glad to see things are still the same around these parts! Haven't been in this thread in sometime.
Yeah, you didn't miss much.
Speaking of 180's
A new member to the Xbox One club! Purchased it along with Madden 25, FIFA 14, Dead Rising 3 and a $50 gift card to get Peggle 2 and the golf game. I was all set to get a PS4 which they had one left in stock at my local Gamestop and they had both demos out to play. The Xbox One controller reminded me how much more I enjoyed using it. The PS4 controller was improved but still cramped my hands. Also, the exclusive games, right now, were more to my liking. Looking forward to Sunset Overdrive and I will probably end up trying Titanfall.
Going to stick with the Xbox One for all the multi-platform games and down the road get the PS4 for exclusives in a year or two when Naughty Dog stars releasing some stuff and hopefully a Hot Shots Golf game. Will really miss not having a baseball game but I will just have to wait.
Awesome! Let me know if you're ever up for some FIFA or co-oping on Dead Rising 3. I'm always game for some fun times. I'm still on the fence about Madden 25 at the moment, because on reviews, reactions, posted positives and negatives and whatnot. I may look at getting it in February or March, though not sure how much time it would get once Titanfall gets released.
Already sent you a friend request. I cleaned up my friends list to start from scratch, so be the first.

* My apologies to JB as I have removed him from my friends list on the 360 and PS3 at least 5 times. It's not you, it is my OCD.
Going to set everything up after the OU/Bama game. Surprised OU has stayed this close so far.
I haven't touched mine in quite awhile. Too disgusted with all the features that are either not there or don't work as well as on the 360.
Sweet. Just accepted it. Going through my bye week in NCAA Football right now, so I was already online and got it taken care of.Already sent you a friend request. I cleaned up my friends list to start from scratch, so be the first.

Which ones? Honestly I just use my consoles for games. I have a Roku for all the other stuff. Does the Xbox One have a play while install feature? I seem to recall them mentioning it but saw the issues with load times in the compaison with the PS4.
OU takes the lead, wow!
The party system is an absolute mess. Having every single little thing load as an app (friend's list, achievements, everything) is a huge inconvenience. Should be a mini guide like on 360 instead of going straight to dash. No support for background music(has to be snapped and take up 1/4 of my screen). No battery indicator, controller just dies without even a warning. Game invite system is also a mess. It's not universal like on 360, you have to have the person in your party and then invite them to that specific party game. No recently met players list so I can't friend request good players. Honestly, there's too much stuff to list.
The 360 felt like such an open console with how easily you could communicate with others. With the One, I feel as though I did with the PS3 - closed off. Not impressed at all, especially when Sony has most of these features and they work great.
EDIT: It does support playing while installing. Once it gets to a certain point, it'll tell you it's ready to play.
Also, what happened to things like Smart Match? The thing where it's supposed to match you with similar players. That definitely isn't there. How about searching for a match, doing something else, and being notified when it found you a game? I've searched in both Call of Duty and Battlefield, switched to TV, came back and the match was half over without a notification of placing me in a game.

Sorry to hear that for the online guys. I am primarily offline and only play people I know so it should not be an issue for me.
I need to keep posting in this thread. OU 31 Bama 17. Not even the biggest OU fanboy could have dream this. I did not see OU scoring 31 in the whole game.
