Sony PS4 sells over 2.1 million consoles across EU/NA launches

For a start, RoosterTeeth are an independent company who has never been paid by Microsoft, apart from promotion of a few Halo such things like Halo 3 DLC and voice work, but that's been through Bungie and 343, never directly by Microsoft. It's never been owned or contracted by MS, and as they state regularly on their podcast's their thoughts have always been their own. They started their machinma because they love Halo, not because they've been hired to do so. Their not game reviewers nor really involved in the gaming world, primarily they're YouTubers and they're a part of that community, gaming and not game designing is part of their world.

Second, like DA says, they're a company, backtracking a live patch is basically unheard of. It would damage sales and create consumer outcry, they wouldn't want that repeated.

Kinect isn't the evil Big Brother camera of Orwell's imagining, not really. What information can it give out? We don't know which is the real problem, so disclosure is needed before we can make that call. From what i've seen so far by reviewers, it's not done any advertising like that yet, then again I think the whole Xbox Live only being opened up recently might have an effect on that.

PS4 is doing it's own thing, they were humbled by the PS3's problems and now have appeared to go in the right direction to reaffirm this. The 360 took over the push of last/current gen and now seem to make similar problems in terms of the Xbox One. The baton in many people's mind has been given back to Sony for this new gen from MS (the million on day one and 2.1 million apparently in back log just in America alone seems to show this), and maybe MS need this to get the stark reality of their jeopardy back into their mind.

 

You do have points, maybe I did blow it out of proportion.

I do agree Sony did learn from the PS3. I was at Wal-Mart tonight and out of curiosity checked out the PS4's to find them completely wiped out. I'm still getting ads for the XboxOne on my e-mail. The PS3 did turn into a good system over time, it just didn't have the kick the 360 had when it came to games, being far, they're pretty even, but 360 just had many exclusive games that I found interesting compared to the PS3. The price being one of the small factors for the competition, I think that PS4 will beat the competition handily. And though I still won't buy a One, I do see MS learning from this and improving later on.

 

I much prefer I got 3, ps3s.


The First Xbox buyer didn't seemed so excited as the Ps4 guy

It's hilarious that the previous record was held by the PSP and it's a shame that Knack outsold Mario 3D World. Still, this is very good for Sony, if they can keep the UK this gen they definitely have Europe on their side. Even more so than last gen.

 

Holy crap that's a lot of PS4's! It only makes me want one more now! I can't help but feel that the original unveiling of the xbox one hurt its current sales though.

Yeah Lord Eternal is like a meme in here, he became famous at a game forum telling about his dream with Entei saving him from a dark cave "It is everything fine now".
Though even him didn't get any game, as sony forgot to send those meaneless things see it here . Also those numbers are for the whole country Sony says they will send 2 games for christmas, most of them will come some time in 2014 .. that is a bumer I got a Ps4 in Chile, but I didn't think it wouldn't be any game available so I didn't pick any (also there is a limit of how many you can spend in another country without taxes).

I wish I could celebrate, but I look at these numbers and think "Great, as if Sony and Microsoft's heads weren't swollen enough." Juuuust waiting for them to start shoehorning in some of that DRM again...
