    Just came to post that, unbelievable.

    MS reports "5 million sold to retailers" as well so far. Which means in the last 3 months they've shipped about 1 million total to retailers (not sold to consumers)

    12-31-2013: 3 million sold, 3.9 million shipped
    04-18-2014: ? million sold, 5 million shipped

    PS4: Best selling platform.
    Xbox One: 311K
    Xbox 360: 111K

    7 million sold to consumers (PS4) vs 5 million shipped to retailers (Xbox One). Gaf has the difference between the PS4 and the Xbox One at 60k, so ~370k for PS4 in March?

    In Non PS4 sales info, no Reaper of Souls on that chart even though it sold 2.7 million in a week for Blizzard. Digital Distro numbers would be great to see. Maybe I should buy a share of stock in all these companies to get quarterly numbers at least.

    Uh, am I seeing things, or is boob size noticeably different between those versions?

    Also, I often feel like I can't tell much difference in these comparisons, Tomb Raider for PS4 was another example. I fully expect the significant difference going from PS3 to PS4 will be stuttering and draw distance.

    Lara's boobs aren't quite sizeable enough to cause the PS3 to stutter nor do they disappear into the horizon because of poor draw distance.

    I got halfway through it and closed the tab. Useless comparison. I really wish these stupid sites would stop using Youtube or their own crappy video players to make these comparisons, the bit rates are laughably poor.

    Just wait for Digital Foundry to make a comparison.

    Looks like Titanfall didn't save the XB1, PS4 leads March NPD

    This explains Respawns recent "We don't care about how much titanfall sold" thing I saw on Gamespot and couldn't help but wonder "Uhhh, why are they going on about that?". For Sony to beat MS on the month Titanfall came out is a massive defeat for MS and any "console warring" aside, it's pretty damn significant for that to happen given the ridiculous hype (and hopes) Microsoft built around that game. That Sony have 7 million sold to consumers while MS only given 5 million sold to retailers is a big issue for them as well and there isn't any way to spin that comparison to make it look good. Bear in mind the last "To consumers" figure we have is around 3 million for the Xbone, so for them to not give an updated figure for consumers and rely on shipped numbers is very bad news for them.

    MS have to do something special now and it will be interesting to see what that is, it goes without saying that E3 is now utterly huge for them. They cannot fail again like they did last year. I just hope Sony doesn't get complacent on this and think they have won now they saw off Microsofts trump card. There isn't a massive amount of great stuff coming out on PS4 to me yet and so Sony need to have a really good showing at E3 (giving some indication of how the Order actually plays beyond being a very pretty cinematic game would be a good start).

    I think where Microsoft made the mistake was not making Titanfall a Xbone exclusive instead of Xbox exclusive.

    The gains the PS4 is making this generation are from converting 360 users. Titanfall was never going to do that because it came out on the 360 a month after it was released on the Xbone.

    Already have my ticket for the E3 hype train!

    Ms needs to sell consoles so they will come out swinging (halo quantum break and a new ip or 2). I have tons of faith that Phil Spencer will not disappoint.

    Sony on the other hand has to show something because we know next to nothing about everything.
    I'm fully expecting a coming out party for the 2 big exclusives this fall in Drive club and the order along with maybe a new uncharted trailer a new ip and a huge destiny influence.

    CHOO CHOOOOO

    For anyone wanting a good FFXIV comparison, Digital Foundry have released their face-off:
    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-final-fantasy-14-ps4-face-off

    A few quotes:
    A Realm Reborn on PS4 was also supposed to be targeting a consistent 60fps frame-rate, but the final version of Realm Reborn actually comes with an unlocked frame-rate (capped at 60Hz) and the goal of keeping things north of 30fps. It's a similar set-up to Square Enix stable-mate Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, and suggests the game is more demanding to run than its origins on ageing hardware might imply.
    Looking closely through the shots in our Final Fantasy 14 triple-format comparison gallery, the only real difference between the PS4 and PC is the visibly lower level of anisotropic filtering on Sony's console. The PC version operates with 16x AF in our shots, while reduced effect on PS4 leads to texture details becoming blurred when viewed from sharp angles, although otherwise the artwork remains relatively crisp and clear.
    Of course, the vast technical upgrade over the PS3 version is perhaps to be expected, but more impressive perhaps is the lengths to which Square Enix has gone in integrating the PS4's unique features. Basic DualShock 4 functionality is similar way to PS3 version, although there are more Cross Hotbar customisation options, but the touchpad really helps, putting a decent replacement for a PC mouse at the tip of your finger.

    You can move a cursor around freely, while pressing the touch pad cycles between different parts of the HUD menu - chat bar, map icons, quest log, etc. It takes a little while to get the hang of, but once you understand it, it's very flexible. And hey, it's also possible to plug in a mouse and keyboard.
    The PlayStation 4 version of Final Fantasy 14 is an impressive port that comes close to delivering a PC-quality experience on a console. The PC version is still the best option overall, but the crisp 1080p visuals, more detailed artwork, longer draw distances and the possibility of having hundreds of characters on-screen at once without that big a dip in performance are all fantastic achievements for this next-gen console release, and people who simply prefer doing their gaming on console will get a good deal out of this version - while still getting to play along with their friends on PC.

    Did you fullscreen 1080p that video? PS3 has much less detail on textures and some models are simpler, edges are a lot fuzzier, draw distance is shorter, frame rates are lower.

    That's because they didn't copy and paste the same character code and someone adjusted the chest slider higher and probably said whatever go with it later when they were editing it together.

    Sony files trademarks for “Entwined” and “Kill Strain”
    Sony has registered for a pair of new trademarks with the USPTO.

    “Entwined” and “Kill Strain” were filed for on April 14 and April 15 respectively. And on April 17 and April 18, the two names entered the Trademark Reporting and Monitoring System.

    Entwined and Kill Strain are both intended to be used for game software. More specifically, the two trademarks pertain to “Computer game software; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices; Video game software”.

    Could either of these two registrations be related to upcoming, unannounced titles for Sony’s platforms?

    I've had this happen before as well. It was because I was in the Midwest while Sony of America and Valve are based on the West Coast, hence the transactions were registered as taking place there. My credit card moving half way across the US in two hours set off all kinds of flags I guess.
