Hope the 3ds goes back in sale for $150 on cyber Monday. Decided to pick one up. Kicking myself for not buying the zelda bundle now.

Heh, was watching the Lightning Deals page on Amazon and SMT Soul Hackers loaded in at 33% claimed already. Ordered mine and went back to the page and it was at 66%. 82% as of posting.

And gone! That was fast. There was a thread on gaf about it, lot of people there grabbed it heh.

Watching some KI streams... I was hating on this title when they announced the F2P model and tiny roster, but it seriously looks like the best next gen launch game.

The game is very very fun and very easy to get into and has a great tutorial that teaches you the game very well. It's actually one of the best fighters made, imho. The small roster isn't as bad as you would think. You don't have 40+ matchups to learn like in SFIV so it's a lot less time you need to invest in it in learning things. The game has great mind games with the combo and counter breakers and also manual combo's so there is depth there for the pro's.

The netcode for the game is the best of any fighter available on top of it. I was watching a stream that had Maximillion(Cali) vs Rico Suave(NYC) and it was lag free. You can't do that in SFIV because the lag would be too terrible. They did an amazing job with the game.

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.
So aside from all of these assumptions and guesses. With Sony selling 2.6million units as far as we know and Microsoft selling 1.8million. Microsft has made around 60 million dollars more profit on consoles alone so far...As I said, Microsoft is in a strong position. A much stronger one then we all thought they'd be.

Who thought they wouldn't sell out their initial launch? And actually, it is surprising M$ has failed to completely sell all the Xbones. The launches tell us nothing except that PS4 is in higher demand which bodes well for them dominating the Xbone in all markets.

Also, 2.6 million and 1.8 million, where are those numbers coming from?

Games legit as fuck. Best of the exclusive titles on both systems by far.

So, picked up my Xbox One - very happy to see that Logitech Harmony already has support for it built in, as it replaced my BR player for downstairs too. Easy setup, everything works, no complaints at all yet.

The important part though - this means I now have an Xbox 360 4gb w/Kinect available to any Vicodin loving sob story females that might be interested in it. Right in time for the holidays! Just let me know!

I bought this. I know 3ds xl is better but with the two years of PS Plus I have with my ps4 already that will get me free games on the vita and remote play for when the wife and kids have the tv locked down it looks like this may be a good buy for me, hope I'm not wrong and this doesn't just end up collecting dust.

You didn't make a bad buy, I personally love my Vita. Both are great systems and the Vita has a lot more good games than people give it credit for. 2 years of PS+ definitely gives you a great amount of Vita games too. Make sure to pick up Persona 4 Golden for it and Dragon's Crown (if you don't want the PS3 version instead).

And speaking of which:PSA: SMT IV Dragon's Crown $27.99 from Newegg via Ebay, Price is live now. - NeoGAF

Dragons Crown PlayStation 3 Game Atlus 730865001491 | eBay

Dragons Crown PS Vita Games Atlus 730865200054 | eBay

Shin Megami Tensei IV Nintendo 3DS Game Atlus 1730865300142 | eBay

All three are also available at Amazon for $29.99 if you'd rather shop there, I think Newegg's ebay is just the lowest.

I just read that if you use a headset on the PS4 you can use voice commands to launch games. Any truth to that? 'Playstation, [name of game] start' or something.

Yeah, you can use the PS4's voice commands without the PSEye. All you needs is a mic.

The launches tell us nothing except that PS4 is in higher demand which bodes well for them dominating the Xbone in all markets.
I went to Game Stop last night to pay for Gran Tourismo 6 Anniversary Edition for the PS3. While there, I asked them about Xbox & PS4.

The girl behind the counter said there were ABSOLUTELY more PS4 pre-orders over Xbone, but they got more calls about Xbone stock then they did PS4. As a result, she assumes that the Xbox is in more demand than the PS4.

I kind of see where she's coming from, but I don't think it's a great representation. I asked her also, but just so I could comment about Xbox still being in stock (it wasn't). So dunno.
