I am not convinced that much by the pad, i see even less benefit in it than in the wiimote, the fact that only one player can have it is even more telling and it's not even multitouch, and besides the wii u's technical specs are just laughable, Nintendo's motto of graphics is not everything is true, but to produce a 2012 console that's said to be not even quite as powerful as a 360 is shameful and on top of that the price wasn't law. I still remeber being f***ed when i bought the 3ds prior to the huge price drop and ididn't want to redo it again for a machine that i thought was uninspring. I will buy the PS4

^ I do not share your sentiments, nor is this thread about Nintendo

I'm glad they changed the restrictions. I might buy one sooner than later, but still after the PS4. It will be interest to see who pulls in the most numbers.

Great, man! Share some impressions please!!

Will do. Got the FIFA 14 version, Forza 5 on preorder and COD:Ghosts will be downloaded.

Have Ghosts on 360 but saving the Campaign mode for the One. Was disappointed to hear Ghosts won't be 1080p natively but never mind, small price!

 

[as7920]

Well it's arrived. Thankfully I haven't had to wait all day, question now is do I wait for the kids to get home so we can open it all together. On second thoughts, nah...... It'll be a nice surprise!

Did you watch the last South Park episode ?

 

[SKY]

It seems that the One is having some tech failures. The disc drive breaks or something like that. One of the most important games forum here in Spain has already a 64 pages thread covering all the issues. Some guys have changed their broke Ones for a new one and in the same day the second console has broken because of the disc layer issue.

PD: @klier and me, as well as the rest of the European gamers are going to have our PS4s made in Japan. USA folks sadly get the ones made in China.

 

[klier]

Yep I saw that one. Ours is made in Japan, YAY!!

One week to go!!!

Did you watch the last South Park episode ?

Nope but I heard it was about Game of Thrones and the next gen launch.
Will watch!

 

[mini_cooper4]

We get the Japan made PS4? Yes!!!!

Can't remember the last time Microsoft sold a million of anything in the first 24 hours.

[klier]

It's a million worldwide. PS4 did a million in the US alone.

It's a million worldwide. PS4 did a million in the US alone.

Microsoft sent out some Xbox One PR today to various outlets, you may have seen the numbers. Over 1 million Xbox One (our review) consoles sold within 24 hours! That’s pretty good, and far better than the Xbox 360 sold on its opening day, marking a new record for Microsoft.

But let’s make sure to put the numbers in perspective. Sony’s PlayStation 4 also sold over 1 million units in 24 hours when it launched around a week ago. So far, the two console giants are neck and neck. However, there’s just one little detail Microsoft fails to mention in its PR: The Xbox One launched in a total of 13 countries, 11 more than the PlayStation 4.

Sony’s console launched only in the US and Canada, and will roll out to more regions later on. The Xbox One, by comparison, launched in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, the U.K., U.S., and New Zealand. That’s a lot more territory to only match Sony’s numbers blow for blow so far. The PS4 won’t hit other major territories like the U.K. and Europe until November 29th.

Unfortunately, we can’t draw too many conclusions from the numbers because Microsoft makes sure to mention the following: “Xbox One is now sold out at most retailers. We are working to replenish stock as fast as possible to meet the unprecedented demand from our customers.”

So, with stock unavailable at ‘most’ retailers, the lack of additional sales could simply be a result of there being no cookies in the jar. People could want Xbox Ones but simply not be able to get them. Sony did not make a mention of selling out of its stock in its release. Also notable: The Xbox One retails for $100 more than the PS4 due to the inclusion of the Kinect motion sensor, so this amounts to more money for Microsoft at this point.

I’m sure we can count on some fantastic sounding momentum numbers from both Sony and Microsoft in the days to come. But for now, they both appear to have at least some raw parity of sales numbers.

Meanwhile, Nintendo has sold just over 3.9M Wii U units so far this year.
