PC games are expensive as hell without the ability to resell. I use my PCs for PC exclusives (just bought SimCity so my wife can play), but AAA titles I always wait for GF/BBY sales, play and dump on eBAY, most of time it's ~$5 to play a game, some times even less, some times I even get paid to play.and most of all cheap ass games are what make PC gaming awesome.

I don't think whining about it on a Xbox one thread will do you much good either, unless your just trolling. Here you go though, maybe this thread will help you out more in the future.Aw damn still waiting on a ps4.
I get the allure of PC gaming. I understand Steam has amazing sales. Some of us like physical games and some of us can practically game for free with a little bit of resale savvy.HDMI and the power cable are all I've had coming out the back of my PC for years, wireless mouse and keyboards are a great thing as is the 360's wireless controller.
Steam's big picture mode definitely makes it feel like having another console in my living room.
Free mod support for tons of my favorite games, great exclusives, and most of all cheap ass games are what make PC gaming awesome. If your living room space is that big of a concern though I guess it isn't for you. Great for those who want the best version of a game and for the cheapest price available though.

But you have to understand that a big chunk of the gaming population doesn't want to deal with the upkeep involved with PC gaming. For those that do it I understand why you'd say their isn't much involved. But it's safe to say that most of the general population has had problems with an everyday basic computer---whether it be a virus, hard drive failure, component failure, system crash, poor performance, etc. and that is JUST on a everyday use PC that isn't designed for high performance.
Now you're asking someone to read up on video cards, memory, and other bells and whistles.
sounds like a consolehard drive failure, component failure, system crash, poor performance, etc.
Difference is, you don't have to figure out what specific component is messed up, you can just return it or use the warranty.sounds like a console
Are you really? I mean really?I wonder how many of these they got. Shocked its still in stock.
Never ending supply? Less immediate demand than PS4 because people who were desperate for One's found them on Black Friday? Guess we'll never know how this has managed to stay alive so long. At this point I won't be surprised to see it last all night.http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Console/dp/B00CMQTVUA/
Edit: Thanks to the mod who moved my post, didn't even realize it was in stock for so long.
Microsoft has cooked up some sweet stats. I mean who cares about number of units sold when you've got these type of numbers:I actually hope it falls way behind so theirs a price drop. Depending on sonys lead microsoft will be stupid to keep at 499. You think they would have learned from last gen. 399 seems to be the sweet spot for new consoles
Microsoft has provided an update on its own next-gen progress today, but it’s not what you’d expect.
While Microsoft says Xbox One owners have spent over 50 million hours in games and entertainment on the new console the last 11 days, the company is also providing some fairly meaningless game-related stats. Microsoft says over 3 billion zombies have been killed in Dead Rising 3, over 90 million miles driven in Forza 5, over 186 million enemies slayed in Ryse, and over 150 million combos completed in Killer Instinct. The figures show Xbox One users are clearly getting to grips with the launch titles, but Microsoft isn’t ready to provide an update on its console sales. "Eleven days in we are seeing record breaking sales and are selling every Xbox One we can make," says Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi. "Demand is far exceeding supply in the 13 countries we’ve launched and we are sold out at retailers around the world."
I haven't been on CAG for almost the whole day. Was browsing on amazon and saw the X1 in stock. Made a thread immediately but didn't realize there was a thread on it already.Never ending supply? Less immediate demand than PS4 because people who were desperate for One's found them on Black Friday? Guess we'll never know how this has managed to stay alive so long.

Stock is the limiting factor for the new consoles right now. They would sell as many as they had of either console. So all that says is that there was more stock of the X1 on BF. That's a good thing for MS, but it doesn't say a lot about overall sales or even why they had more stock of the X1.
Finally someone that understands how this works (I'm referring to most people in the comments section of IGN). lol The only thing you can gauge from that is that X1 sold more than the PS4 on BF because it had more stock. I'm wondering though how their handling their supply because if they're both selling out stock, they're losing quite a bit of money by not pushing out more units.Stock is the limiting factor for the new consoles right now.

Good point. Still, at least they're available to order.They don't actually have the stock I think. It says "To ensure delivery by December 24 choose Two-Day Shipping at checkout" meaning if you order now you are only guaranteed it by the 24th"
You connect your power cable to your TV?But can your "Rig" (just about queer as someone calling their headphones "cans" or flashlight "torch") fit in the same space as a PS4? Can it output to your TV with just two cables (power and HDMI)?
Not everyone wants an ugly, space consuming, power hungry, monster of an electronic in their living room or gaming space. No matter what you choose you're making sacrifices. I'd much rather have a console that takes up very little space and isn't unsightly versus a gaming "rig" any day.

They 'won' black friday? hah. Availability out and purchases out of desperation could be the only cause. I walked into a best buy at 1am on friday morning and they still had X1s available for customers. PS4s? Not a chance.http://money.cnn.com/2013/12/03/pf/sony-playstation-sales/index.html
You see if you could read you would understand that the Xbox one did 1 million in sales on its GLOBAL launch (11/22). Not bad right?
Except the PS4 did 1 million in sales in just North America on its launch 11/15 and has since been killing it in all markets.
MS has won Black Friday, and as analysts suggested that was just because they had more units available. They are also counting Xbox 360 sales with the announcement of "MS won Black Friday" and that includes the $99 units that can't even play GTA V without modifications.
Yep, that sure isn't contributing to the trash talk.Why are Sony fanboys in this thread? Come on losers.....you have plenty of sites to go to and talk trash. Ugh. Try gamespot's system wars. You guys will fit right in.
I think his comment is pretty valid. Why do people bother coming to a thread only to troll people who are legitimately interested in the product? It's pretty immature to just come in and try to start fires with people. If I don't like a video game or a movie I don't waste my time going into a forum specific topic only to argue and cause drama. One of the annoying things about the internet I suppose... :/Yep, that sure isn't contributing to the trash talk.
Mind telling us where? Not saying I don't believe you but it just looks like you're trolling if you don't at least tell us where you saw it so maybe a nearby CAG can go pick it up.
It was in Porterville, Ca.
Was in my local Target a few hours ago and saw a few Xbox Ones. Some were even day one editions.

correctedIt's the internet. People have to degrade others in an attempt to make themselves look good. I like both systems, but the PS4 was first on my list to get. Come next month, I will have a xBONE also.
Funny how I've been using my xbox 360 all evening, and have more games on 360 than any other console. I just recognize a flop when I see one.Why are Sony fanboys in this thread?

Great friend...Ewww Shin you like the PS4. Gross...I kid. Now I like both systems. I don't plan on getting a PS4 because there isn't anything on that system that I want. I'll be getting a Xbox One when I get the money for Titan Fall and The Division. Would have had one already but my "friend" stole $500 from me so there went my next gen money.
