I don't know what crack has to even do with this. Worst analogy ever.

Anyway, Sony didn't release their own numbers (yet) but the estimate I saw was 370K to 311K for the XBox One. Damn impressive.

No, it's actually a pretty good one. Let's make it an SAT question; gamers are to drug addicts, as games are to drugs.

Yours made more sense, but bringing up crack has no context at all. Just seems like a bizarre thing to even bring up

I've spent untold hours listening to the Weekend Confirmed (i.e. Jeff) guys talk about DOTA and still have no fucking clue what it is.

re: PS4 Release Thread: Kill Launch App #Driveclub due October 2014!!!

So just now, I pretty much had to stop playing a game due to my controller running out of it's charge. First time that's ever happened to me. At least with the U, I can plug it's controller into the wall. Next gen!

The really need to let me turn off this stupid fucking light on the controller.

Well the trend continues...

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/04/...t-selling-game

PS4 Outsold Xbox One in March, Titanfall is Best-Selling Game

Xbox One players own, on average, 2.9 games apiece.


The top-selling games from March 3 to April 5 are, in order:
•Titanfall (XBO, PC)**
•inFAMOUS Second Son (PS4)**
•South Park: The Stick Of Truth (360, PS3, PC)**
•Call Of Duty: Ghosts (360, PS4, PS3, XBO, NWU, PC)**
•Dark Souls II (PS3, 360)**
•Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (PS4, XBO, PS3, 360)
•NBA 2K14 (360, PS4, PS3, XBO, PC)**
•Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (PS3, PSV)
•The LEGO Movie Videogame (360, PS3, 3DS, NWU, XBO, PS4, PSV) Interactive
•Minecraft (360)


Titanfall is the second-highest selling Xbox One game, and Vita saw a sales spike thanks to Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster.

On the PC side, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls led in both dollars earned and units sold.

Earlier this week Sony celebrated 7 million PlayStation 4 sales.

Microsoft announced that Xbox One has shipped 5 million units, meaning the new machine is "outpacing Xbox 360 by more than 60 percent at the same point in time." Xbox One sold 311,000 units in March, with Xbox 360 selling another 111,000.

Consumers purchased 1.4 million Xbox One games in March, bringing the software attach rate to 2.9 games per Xbox One owner.

You can with the PS4 as well using any (or at least any I've tried) micro-USB charger. I use this from an old work Blackberry, and I have several others laying around from various cell phones and such. It's

Yeah, any phone charger that uses micro USB should work. That's what I use most of the time to charge the controller as well. But not all micro USB charges will work, so be careful what you buy. I can't get my Logitech charger to work with it.

Right?

Oh.

It's important to note 5M shipped for XB1 vs. 7M sold for PS4.

It's also important to note that XB1 had sold through 3M by the end of 2013 (link), so they sold through probably a million and change from January to March. Meanwhile, PS4 has consistently sold through a million per month since launch.

The nice thing about a wall charger is that you can plug it in while you play during emergencies. I have the charger I linked above plugged in under my couch, so I can just pull it out if I need it.

Or maybe he meant to say "Daylight", which is PS4/PC? But it comes out April 29.

Exclusive content and higher resolution for Watch Dogs IIRC.

let's not jump the gun here. PS4 announced at 1080p, Xbox One is uncertain at this time. While there will probably be difference, nothing has been confirmed thus far: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/04/...till-uncertain

If the Xbox can't even get Trials to run at the same resolution, I think it's a pretty safe bet Watchdogs won't.

It's been hit or miss at resolution parity thus far. Maybe a little more miss than hit, and there have been some real head scratchers, like Trials and CoD.

This list says it's 1080p vs 960p, which is better than AC4: http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS...and_Framerates

So they moved Helldivers later on? I was sure I saw something about a May release.

Well that's ok...I'm sure I'm getting Wolfenstein (for the Doom beta) and will need to decide on eith MLB The Show of Watch Dogs. June...It's The Last of Us no matter what.

re: PS4 Release Thread: Kill Launch App #Driveclub due October 2014!!!

I just took all of my retail titles except for NFS to Gamestop. Got ~$40 each for Infamous and Battlefield, and ~$30 for Killzone. I also dropped a preorder on Destiny so I can have access to the beta.

I'm pretty confident that I'll want to play Infamous and Battlefield later but probably not any time soon. With any luck, there will either be an "ultimate edition" of Battlefield and/or a PS+ freebie on one or both games somewhere down the road.
