Yep, it's going to be slow for a while (for both systems). I just picked up a 3DS XL though and never had a DS so I have a huuuuuge amount of great games to play in the meantime. It's a really good time to buy a 3DS.
Right now I am the super 3DS Fanboy.
Btw, the whole "yield issues" thing isn't about Defective Units (in a completely put together box sense). It's really a science and math thing involving their APU. The ESRAM takes up an absolutely gigantic part of the wafer the APU is built from and leaves far less room for redundancy in usable...
I wonder if most of the Xbones with bad blu-ray drives also came from Amazon. There was some video on fixing it and it was basically just smacking some gear back into place.
(Please note that I never went "LOL XBONE DEFECTS" when that shit was going down, as promised)
Yeah, that was like really focused. I definitely think *something* happened and it was quite possibly Sony's lines or Amazon's handling of packages for both systems orboththings happened.
The videos of Amazon's packing were not pretty. They put those shitty air plastic things on just one side...
I don't think they're manufacturing as much as they thought they were going to, I don't know if it's yield issues but they are definitely not meeting demand right now. There is probably something there.
Maybe they held up the lines to QA shit after that first small shipment of defects...
Sure, but I literally threw something up minutes after you announced it with no real thought. That's the truth of it (you can check the timestamps!). I also thought Microsoft maybe would spread out their supply a bit more and would maybe try to compete with Sony more globally, but it seems that...
1) The most accurate insider said so, he's almost never wrong and 2) It lines up with them cutting region releases and not having any solid plans for future region rollouts that are now getting pushed back.
You can spin that focus shit all you want, but it makes more sense the other way with...
They do have yield issues, otherwise they'd have not cut their release regions by almost half (and have only 1/4th of Sony's now) and they wouldn't be delaying releasing elsewhere until late 2014. If you think that their abysmal number of release regions and their delays on releasing elsewhere...
Btw, it's now being reported that the 8 Nordic countries (& Russia) that were cut from Microsoft's initial launch of 21 arenotgoing to be receiving Xbones until late 2014. So Microsoft isstillsitting at only 13 countries until who knows when.
Meanwhile Sony has now launched in 48 countries...
The PS4 is ahead in the US and Worldwide. Yes, I'm totally 100% wrong! I said that they would be ahead in the US and crush the Xbone globally, and it's going to happen.
Gaige doesn't know how to be anything but wrong, it's sad.
Haven't commented on anything recently because:
1) I've been busy.
2) There's nothing to comment on. The PS4 is ahead both in NA and Worldwide. The Xbone's "fastest selling" nonsense is pure spin and meaningless. The gap is probably going to widen after the first of the year.
NPD Sales...
Dawn of the New World was alright. It's not great, but it's far from being the worst Tales game. It's also probably one of the better written ones as far as character relationships go (especially compared to say Graces which made me want to punch some writers in the face).
You should...
Yeah, this show is just so damned good right now. I can't believe that this show is being nailed so well and SHIELD is being fucked up so badly. Maybe Marvel should have went for a CW show.
I really hope Cierra can make it to the final 3 somehow at this point. This has been some really good Survivor these past few episodes (started off total shit, thanks Redemption Island), but I don't really like anyone still in the game except for her.
For the PS3? Probably Xillia or wait until Symphonia Chronicles comes out in a couple months. Unfortunately the PS3 port of Vesperia did not get localized.
If you have a X360 get Vesperia for sure.
They're getting better. Tales of Xillia took about 2, but Xillia 2 will be only about 1.5 and Tales of Symphonia Chronicles is only a 4 month difference.
No, it will almost assuredly get ported. The PS4 being out isn't going to stop JPRGs from getting localized over here. There's going to be a bunch of them still for the next couple years.

Why? Because you're a fucking sociopath who brags about being a child molester. You think it's "normal", that's why you're not ashamed.
I feel gross just talking to you, it's time to just stop doing that. You're not worth it.
I don't need to prove it. We all know you are one and you admitted it repeatedly in the thread on foh. You're not going to live that shit down, you sick freak.
I feel sorry for you because you are probably lying to yourself. People here have tons of amazing memories about games. If you honestly don't then you really don't fit in here.
Anyone who posts regularly on this forum and says that games aren't great memories and important to them is 100% full of shit or seriously lying to themselves
