re: Amazon hosting PS4 vs XB1 vote

If they actually fulfill these orders (which I imagine Sony and Australia's Amazon offices wouldn't want), then it'd be accounting for a few thousand sales at most. PS4 will be lucky to break 50k at launch in Australia.

I have no idea why some major hedge fund manager hasn't scooped you up yet. You are clearly a billion dollar diamond in the rough with your accurate market predictions and knowing the ins and outs of what two businessess as big as Sony and Amazon will or will not do.

Try and place an order for a PS4 (or anything) on the Amazon.co.uk site, can't do it, tells you it can't ship to you and that you have to visit the american site.

You clearly know very little about getting around on the internet.

But besides that the Reddit link I posted even said Amazon has confirmed they would allow it FYI.

If not one could just use Firefox and get yourself a free copy of Foxy Proxy.

i wonder what bestbuy's figures look like

He said he doubts Amazon would do it yet the Reddit link I posted says Amazon has confirmed they would.

The GB motto...

I'm making an assumption based off demographics. Customers who shop at Amazon are more likely to be enthusiasts. They're also more likely to be able to afford the high price tag and preorder a product this early.

The more common consumer (i.e. mother who goes to GameStop with her children), will shy away from putting money down on a $500 console. I know many people who were that someone could charge $500 and $600 for video games.

I just put in a call to Merril Lynch and told them "you should see this guy"

I may roll my portfolio over to you if you're down to handle it?

So crazy your previous post was posted as if it were facts and when I ask why it's all your assumptions.

You know what they say about assumptions...

lulz, if you see it that way.

his main point was you don't need one down range, mine was if you do take something now it can only be a ps4 and nothing else current gen. You clearly cant follow what was going on

legit question for anyone here, has either company came out on the capability of hooking up external hard drives to their systems which would clearly have illegally downloaded movies and games.

---

external storage is supported on the Xbone. Someone else will have to answer for PS4.

Why can't you just admit the PS4 is going to demolish the XB1 in sales for at least the first year or two?

---

Demolish is a strong word here. Will it outsell it in pure hardware? Sure. It's a worldwide system vs a limited release that is region locked.

One thing none of you seem to get is that it's not a sprint for Xbox and MS as much as it is for Sony. Sony has to hit a home run here out of the gates or they may not be around for PS5.

Xbox is using this system as a bridge to get to their future vision of an all digital all in one entertainment hub. They want to be the only device in houses in certain markets.

They have very deep pockets which affords them the luxury of taking their time and implementing their vision instead of pandering to the lowest denominator just for hardware sales volume.

At least that's the way I see it.
