Never mind.

Talk about seeing the forest for the trees.

Because teasers and trailers are how we form our opinions nowadays.

If you aren't aware that units shipped have always been the reported numbers in the past and refuse to go confirm this is the case with a simple search then I don't think either of us is really gaining anything further from this conversation. Especially when you started arguing with this BASIC info before the Sony…

I think its of a case SOME people are able to realize that few, if any, of the guilty parties are still alive and blaming the descendants is backwards as fuck.

I played FPS' back when it stood for First Person Stonings. You've probably never heard of it. You just beat people to death with rocks. Guns are so mainstream.

Why are you even bringing up write downs in a conversation about consoles that have been on the market for a couple months?

Of course its plastic...and vacuchromed.

Manufacturer was the wrong word to use obviously since none of these companies actually manufacture their own products. Sony, Microsoft, and I believe Nintendo all use Foxconn. I was trying to use it as a general term, but I shouldnt have.

Manufacturers get their money from retailers. Not consumers. By the time a product has reached the shelf in front of you..its already been paid for.

The amount of sales these two companies generated despite very little good content being available is more of statement on the value of hype and the lack of impulse control than anything else.

You've got three links to the same Gizmodo article.

Retailers do not release individual unit sales. Console makers only track units sold to retailers.

Deleted because I need to stop arguing about this on the internet.

1) you see no irony in moaning about the media blaming video games and then turning around and blaming guns?

If you took grizzly bear training classes, kept it locked up, and only took him out to have him attack paper deer I'd have no problem with it.

"Discover the true meaning of fear in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger."

Where are you getting your numbers from? I agree that the PS4 probably outsold the XB1, but I havent seen Sony release numbers since the second or so week of December at around 2.1 million iirc.

I think it's a mistake to ever try to gloss over or forget Aliens: Colonial Marines. Everyone involved with that piece of shit should carry the stigma with them into oblivion.
