Always been.
Btw, where the hell do you find those brazilian gifs?
They did not release numbers for November NPD when they beat XB1, doubt they would release now.

Looks like those supply issues hit PS4 bad.
Shame.

Think it had anything to do with yield?

So when should we expect these supposed Sony 'supply issues' to be solved? Should we look forward to a complete and absolute Sony domination in January? Or Feb? Maybe March?
860k its pretty damn good for big supply issues.

I have to say, this is really interesting.
Casual audience is non existent on PS4, could be bad thing in the long run, especially seeing the XBO version selling well, even more than the Wii U version.
XBO is looking like the winner of this generation, they have both hardcores and casuals.
The base price of the 3DS XL is still higher than the NDS ever cost in general, isn't it? Yeah, there were sales, but even still, the NDS didn't take off big time until it was $129 as I recall. I think there is still room for growth in 2014, at least in the US.

A winner? After 6 weeks?

Huge. Hyping a last gen game is pretty hard though. I hope Dark Souls doesn't fall prey to the ps360 fatigue.

Typical from you, set the bar so high, so when it won't happen, tell people they're were wrong.

It's really getting hard to differentiate between joke posts and serious posts.

don't do that to me sammy
I think it should be >1.1m no? I remember that people were talking in the prediction thread that the 3DS LTD in the US in November was 10.4. So, if 3DS LTD now is >11.5, that makes it >1.1m for December no?

I don't think it's entirely about the audience PS Camera detection is bad in Just Dance 2014, especially with 2+ players. Whether it's Ubisoft's or Sony's fault I don't know, but the experience is far better on Kinect, even the Xbox 360's Kinect. As for PS Move (the other way to play the game on PS4) it basically equals Wii/Wii U controls, but buying a Wii & Wiimotes remains the much cheaper option not to mention this is the first Just Dance with online multiplayer, which is free on Wii & Wii U.
Also, Just Dance Kids 2014 spin-off released (October 2013) on Wii+Wii U+360, while the previous entries (Just Dance Kids, Just Dance Kids 2) had a PS3 version as well. It seems Just Dance is becoming irrelevant on PlayStation hardware.
What's more interesting is the fact that several sources (NPD, France numbers, UK charts) show that the Just Dance series is finally seeing a huge drop-off It'll be interesting to watch how Ubisoft handles the future of the series, considering it's now their second biggest franchise.

Lol. Just found a few bundles on Amazon.com. Are you making up bs jpegs to prove a point?
Yeah I agree, XB1 won't be winning again until it gets a price cut of $100.

Mess.
I'm just saying the casual audience will give XBO more longevity. Sony can't rely only on hardcores.
People are desperately lost to fanboyism and would buy a box of rocks if it said XBox on it just so they could feel cool. Old habits die hard.
Sold by Amazon, or through Amazon?
Do you have any links?
Either way, you're not seriously suggesting that the PS4 is in plentiful stock, are you?
Edit: just read your post where you say 'supposed' supply issues. Yeah, you're in denial chuck.
Friends who couldn't find ps4's since launch finally found them this week but store only had a few.

Yeah, because casuals like to pay $100 more
They just can't find Ps4 consoles right now.
Yeah because there is no good reason to buy an Xbox .... I think we know who is the fanboy here.
PS4 has a higher install base in US, so why didn't JD sell more? Nothing to do with not being able to find consoles.

Price isn't a huge motivating factor at Christmas. People but what thy want.
Price is more important in the middle of the year.

I just checked and did not see any consoles available from Amazon. I see resellers and storefronts with jacked up prices so I wouldn't crap on his tracker.

X1 did pretty well considering Gaf was making me think sales where gonna be really weak because of the overstock pictures

It's the KZ/BF, Madden/Fifa, and Madden/BF bundles. All are still available from Amazon.
That probably depends on what people the PS4 draws in. It still has mainstream value in streaming without secondary subscriptions, and the casual audience IS fickle. And the camera is selling well anyway.
I don't get how resellers having consoles for sale on Amazon proves anything.
Edit: NM, no bundles as far as I see but you can order a PS4 here
Edit 2: NM again, gone haha.

But we can't really wage the Ps4 demand because the console was sold out in december.
The Xbox One was not. People wanted to buy a Ps4, but they could not.

It couldn't crack a million, a feat the PS4 achieved in 24 hours in November, despite being massively overstocked in the full month of December.
Not great.

Oh they will drop the price. It is a matter of time. I predict first price drop for Christmas after Sony beats them for 5-6 consecutive months in NPDs.
Wow, so PS4 was only outsold by <50,000 units despite being $100 more. Amazing job, Sony! [/Salvor.Hardin logic]
