Also, that's a whole lot of assumptions needed to "prove" your point.

Well, we heard a whole lot of people assuming that the $100 difference in price between consoles wouldn't a big deal and that people would stick with the X1 when the new generation arrived when there was lots of evidence to the contrary. We saw how that went. I'm extremely interested to see how many of these Titanfall packages are actually release. The UK boss is already telling people that they likely will have to preorder it if they want to get it. That doesn't sound like many units. |

So, if I understand this correctly:
pre-orders for Xbox = not many units pre-orders for Sony = unprecedented demand

Sony wasn't limiting their consoles on pre-order, so it's obvious why the unprecedented demand occurred as you mention. They still expect another two months of shortages despite selling more than any other console ever has in the first 3 months. X1 has actually done that twice now (Day One and Titanfall). Day One consoles were still available 2-4 weeks after launch. We'll hope that the UK boss is serious about the short amount of supply for this console because it's going to be a PR nightmare if we have Titanfall consoles out in the wild for even a few days. |

Again, we don't really expect to have any kind of honest discussion with you in this thread. It is a bit ridiculous that you have more than 1 out of every 4 posts in a 33 page thread. Some of the dynasty threads aren't that lopsided in favor of one poster.

Probably great support for why the subject never should have been edited. It was always going to come back around to numbers and bashing.

I don't know if you just weren't hugged enough as a child, or were mercilessly taunted on the playground at school, but you are obviously searching for some kind of closure. You aren't going to find it here constantly dola-posting.

Ouch, a couple of big embarrassments for Sony. First, the Killzone multiplayer that Sony claimed was 1080p and 60 fps turns out to be neither. Big questions about the consoles power and Sony for lying about it.
In Theory: 1080p30 vs 720p60 - could next-gen let us choose? • Articles • Eurogamer.net Second, it looks like the XBox One is the king fit anyone who wants to steam on Twitch. Can't help but wonder why the PS4s hardware can't keep up. Xbox One Twitch Higher Resolution Than PS4 - NowGamer |

Actually a great thing that you posted this. It's a great discussion. First off, Guerilla Games should be called out for it. It's misleading. With that said, what was a rough situation initially could be a saving grace for developers who can't quite squeeze full 1080p/60fps out of the Xbox One on their ports.

Interesting battle developing between Ubisoft and Take Two. Watch Dogs has been universally hammered over the past week after their latest releases showed significantly downgraded visuals on the current gen versions of the game. Ubisoft is in damage control mode, trying to minimize the damage, but it likely is too late.
Now, we know that the Grand Theft Auto V release on PS4/PC/X1 is slated for June, but rumors are that Take Two may look to upstage Ubisoft and also release on May 27th. That would make for an interesting battle and would definitely create problems for a game that's had more than one setback in its development cycle. |

Like I said, there are dynasty posts that have a lower percentage of posts from one person. You'd think the clue would be picked up by now.
