Noodleface's official guess:

PS4 NA Sales by March 31st 2014: 2.1 million
Xbox NA Sales by March 31st 2014: 1.8 million
PS4 NA Sales by March 31st 2015: 7.3 million
Xbox NA Sales by March 31st 2015: 6.6 million

Are you going to make some sort of document or sticky for the contest?

I'll put everyone's entries in the OP. If people change their votes it's ok. What ends up being in their post by the deadline nears is what's counted.

Ok, here's my guess:

PS4 NA Sales by March 31st 2014: between 1.8 and 2 million (1.9)
Xbox NA Sales by March 31st 2014: no more than 750,000
PS4 NA Sales by March 31st 2015: between 7 & 8 million (7.5)
Xbox NA Sales by March 31st 2015: no more than 4 million

Mine is a bit vague, so I gave averages for the "between" numbers.

I'm going to put you down for 1.9, 0.75, 7.5 and 4 million fyi.

Specs aside, Titanfall is going to push a ridiculous amount of consoles so long as MS doesnt have production problems.

Will it? If it was Xbone only it might, but it's also on PC and the X360. Plus, a lot of people won't care, but it's sorta been maybe confirmed to be 720p on the Xbone.

I'll play it, but it will be the PC version for sure. The Xbone version will almost definitely be the lowest selling of the three SKUs, especially since the Xbone install base will be so low.

Yes, I know I'm the harbinger of everything bad:No XB1 demo units being shipped to stores, only display stands - NeoGAF

I'm not sure if this is news or not. So melt this thread if it's old or stupid.

This will probably just filter to the back part of the forum for no one to read but oh well.

We just got our X1 demo in store, only...it's not a demo, it's a cut in half fake xbox 1 with a media player running it, the screen is playing X1 games obviously.

The games coordinator was expecting an actual REAL X1, only he was told that it overheats in the display case so we got this instead, needless to say I'm kinda disappointed that I don't get to try out next gen

The weird part is the displays we get for 360 and PS3 are pretty similar to this and they were not worried about overheating.

Why the hell couldn't they just make the glass bigger or add vents or some shit.

Instead we got. "Here have half a fake X1 running visuals from the PC version."

A reminder: Target's B2G1F deal starts tomorrow and PS4 games have already started showing up a lots of Targets (there's no street date on them).

hodj · Nov 9, 2013

I've been wondering if they're going to have AC4 in tomorrow or not. Its official release date is the 12th.

Really want to grab up KZ, AC4 and Knack on the b2g1f deal.

Probably head over there early and find out.

They'll have it if they've got it in stock. Sony revoked all street dates on launch titles.

Also, Walmart will price match so you can go there instead.

I'm still debating whether to do Killzone + Knack and get NFS Rivals for free or to cancel my AC4 Black Flag Collector's Edition on Amazon and just get a normal version for my free title.

On, one other thing: Target is printing out 30% off coupons when you do game purchases, but they seem to be printed out on every other game purchase. So what people on Neogaf are doing is buying 2 $1 pre-order cards and ringing them up separately to make sure they get the coupon. The coupon has no restrictions at all and you should be able to use it on the deal.

hodj · Nov 9, 2013

oh shit that's ridiculous

Definitely heading over there in the mo' then. Target opens at 8 am for some stupid reason. Just go 24 hours if you're going to close at 11 and open at 8. Fucking target.

2/3 advantage to PS4 in early adoption only small lead after MS starts repricing things for Xmas 2014 (or other types of sales encouragement)

Dioblaire · Nov 9, 2013

Eh, why not...

Before you start copy pasting whole entries in a randomly ordered super list, Tuco, perhaps you should just make a matrix listing values.

A happy ending:Meet The Guy Who Got The Xbox One Early

Copied from Neogaf:Kotaku: Meet the Guy Who Got the Xbox One Early - NeoGAF

Here's the skinny:

- Real name: Andr? Weingarten
- Didn't have an Xbox One on pre-order at the beginning
- Got one after Target made some available online
- Four days later, he gets an Xbox One
- Went to a local Gamestop and got a copy of Ghosts
- Did his YouTube video and started his Twitter deal
- Got an email saying that his video had been pulled from YouTube
- Few hours later his console got banned as he was playing Ghosts
- Got called by Major Nelson and they talked things over
- Was more peeved about having his video taken down
- His console will be allowed to access Xbox LIVE before launch
- The copyright strike on his video will also be removed before launch
- He has been invited to attend Microsoft's Xbox One launch event
- Will be able to share more about his experiences with the console at a later date
- Is still able to play Ghosts offline
- Everything appears to be A OK between Andr? and MS
- Target says that about 150 consoles were mailed out by accident

Microsoft shouldn't have knee-jerked like they did, their PR management is really retarded. It's good on them that they're making this right though at least.

For some reason alot of people dont have pc's and only laptops not used for gaming. More of them than people with PCs capable of running Titanfall even at minimum possibly. The
