    Crazy thing is they will probably sell more 360 than one's for people who might want to play destiny.

    I think the numbers will improve once the dual generation releases dry up and at christmas.

    Dual releases of the big games is one of the reasons I'm not upgrading yet.

    If I do get destiny it'll be on 360

    I read alot of reports that investors and key people inside microsoft wanted to sell off and abandon there gaming marketplace which is strong evidence the way they wanted the one build to begin with.

    You had a console launch to show what they attended which was mostly about tv shows and media features than games , they wanted to be in everyone households whether you were a gamer or not.

    Few months later xbox dug themselves so far in a dark hole they had to do a 180 and try to be a gaming platform for gamers again but its going to be too late.

    We are looking into xbox last console since what I said above investors do not want to be apart of games anymore this will light a fire inside the company even more.

    They invested hugely into there tv business and let go 18,000 people I think the number was.

    This is playstation 3 terrible , when people only look at how many sales figures a platform sells they do not see the iNternal bleeding that goes on.

    I didn't buy the One... (yet)

    I had hands on with the One for a month or two before launch, and played it pretty much daily up until April this year....

    I got the PS4 on launch day, mainly due to my hands on time with the One and it not impressing me....

    The media aspect of the console is fantastic, but I prefer where Sony are at at the moment, as I said a few times in the thread, if a good enough game I can't resist comes to the One I will purchase one... (Gears!)

    At the moment I'd actually buy a Wii U over the Xbox One purely for first party titles...

    I think the only consoles I haven't owned at launch since I was old enough to afford them all was the PS3 (hated Sony's arrogance post PS2) and the Wii U, I even had the original Wii and Dreamcast on launch day... :) 9/9/99

    I did eventually get the PS3, but not until MGS IV came out...


    I hope MS can turn it around for all gamers sake, as competition is always healthy imo...

    might be selling like **** but its still by far the better gaming console in comparison to ps4

    Lol, we went from "Both consoles are great and have advantages and disadvantages", to " By FAR better console".

    Many companies having been trying this for some time now. Trying to be the 1 major device in the living room with no real success.
    They invested hugely into there tv business and let go 18,000 people I think the number was.

    The majority of the layoffs have nothing to do with the Xbox division and more to do with Nokia.
    Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Thursday that the majority of layoffs — about 12,500 — would be professional and factory positions cut as part of its $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia's

    Microsoft net income in Q4 2013 was $4.6 billion and in this same quarter (2014) the net income has increased to $4.97 billion. I think the investors will live :D

    This is what the CEO said last week about Xbox.
    "Microsoft will continue to vigorously innovate and delight gamers with Xbox. Xbox is one of the most-revered consumer brands, with a growing online community and service"

    Sales of XB1 in June doubled after a price cut. Sony only sold 36% more units in June. You'd swear it was 500% more the way people go on.
    This is playstation 3 terrible , when people only look at how many sales figures a platform sells they do not see the iNternal bleeding that goes on.

    Things are really not all doom and gloom as some people have been yapping on about all day.

    If you want to see horrible financials maybe some the Sony guys on this thread can point to the amazing profits Sony have been making :pac:

    I know Damien (Miju) in the real world, I called him bum buddy not to piss him off, (or Failsafe) he can vouch for me working there as I helped him out with something whilst I was there...

    Really no need for this sort of thing.
    Why not nip back and read the mods warning at the start of the thread, then quit this bickering and sniping.
    It lowers the tone of the debate and adds a belligerent undercurrent the thread really could do without.
    And the derogatory homosexual reference has no place here either.

    Sorry if I appear to be backseat modding, apologies to the moderators.

    I have no knowledge how true those reports were but I can only comment outside the looking glass.

    I would assume Microsoft is more financially stable as a company than sony which is bleeding money.

    I be interesting to see the next coming months will mean but Its hard to take those or any comments as truth since they need to post positive comments so no one addresses panic attacks for websites to feed off

    I'm going back to playing Snake on my 5110, even though the graphics are better on the 6110...

    In all seriousness I agree, can we not have an intelligent debate without the bickering...

    @Failsafe/Dark Knight - apologies if "bum buddy" offended either of you, I didn't mean it to....

    The 6310i is the best anyways.

    In fairness that was largely because they had announced the upcoming kinectless bundle before May so most people held off on buying the Xbox One until June, so of course they were going to increase in sales. The Wii U almost outsold it in the US in May.

    i am entitled to my opinion and overall the one is the better system i have said that a few times. you can wave your pc master race flag now...

    Thing is, that if I will wave a flag, I will need a lot of flags to wave, but hey, if I am allowed, I will!

    *Waves PC master Race Flag.
    *Waves PS4 flag.
    *Waves PS3 flag.
    *Waves Xbox360 flag, but this flag is Burned as 360 died from sitting in cupboard.
    *Waves PS Vita flag.
    *Waves Wii U flag.
    *Waves 3ds flag.

    Enough of the bickering, folks. Keep it civil please.

    Just another reminder that if you think a comment is inappropriate or trolling, report it rather than respond in a similar manner - you'll be just as susceptible to mod action, and it pulls the thread into nastier territory.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    I've spent the last 2 days trying to get the platinum in the asian Demon's Souls, 3 years after getting the EU platinum.

    All other games as well as consoles that aren't the PS3 pretty much suck to me right now.
