PS4 isn't releasing in Japan until next year - they have no games ready for it and it's a more mobile/handheld market so no rush.

Sweet, my bud from work just scored a PS4 last night for me. So happy! And the kids will have a breakdown, since me and the wife were basically telling them no fucking way this year for a PS4 since its like sold out everywhere. About to score some good dad points for sure.

They're getting Knack for free, hopefully that's when the rest of us get it for free too.
I figured that Xbone and Ps4 would both be sold out until christmas. But while i was at gamestop today it was 2pm and they still had xbones in stock. pretty surprised.

Just swung by Walmart (24 hour) to grab something for the misses. They still have Xbox Ones on the floor. But it's cool dudes.. we just hating on it.
Question, can't remember who said it.. but has anyone used the Astro A50's with the PS4? Looking to buy a really nice headset and this seems nice since it uses the digital out and can be used as a passthrough. Anyone use it?

Although PS4 has sold 800k more units so far. I think the Xbox numbers are pretty impressive. They have a bigger profit margin then Sony who if I remember correctly are losing money on each PS4(?) and were also selling the console for $100 more then the PS4. I think Microsoft is in a really strong position compared to where we all thought they would be.
Also any talk of Kinect not working is purely bullshit. The only times there is an issue is if you try and say things very fast and not clear. Kinect has been awesome and every friend that has come over (not gamers) has been really impressed by it and enjoyed it. I will still be buying a PS4 but Microsoft have turned things around really well.

This is false. Sony is making money on each and the PS4 is actually cheaper to make than the Xbox.
Meanwhile my buddy had some hilarious Kinect tales featuring fucked up profile recognition, but then the "works for me!" argument has always been a persuasive one.
Teardown suggests Xbox One manufacturing cost of $471 | Joystiq
$29 left on the Xbone after construction, $19 left on the PS4 after construction. And then there's Shipping, Distribution, Retail's Cut, etc. Not to mention eating the cost of bad yields (especially for Microsoft's stupid ESRAM design) and other things. Neither of them are making money on the boxes themselves.
I have the a40s with the mix amp pro. The game/tv/movie audio is great. only problem is that the mic chat jack on the mix amp is a 2.5mm for the xbox 360. I doubt there's an adapter that will work with the ps4's iPhone type 3.5mm jack. The website says to use the usb cable plugged into the ps4 for the chat audio but i like having the mix amp by my couch and don't have a usb cord long enough. Maybe if the a50 has all the volume control on the headset it won't be a problem. My problem with the a50 is the battery pack isn't removable/replaceable, when it craps out you're fucked.
