To be fair, Sony has always had good customer service, from my personal experience they have always helped me out.

If i could, i would have only Sony products in my house Happy

Either way, still will have less customers than sony on launch day, first off due to its higher price.


Well that's the impression everyone's got, let's see when they talk figures. Let me guess they sell 1.1 million on launch day just top to Sony lol

Think they just kept on making them past the cut off point and into the following months. Now they got the bulk of buyers out the way they can produce them at a lower scale. They're now probably thinking of making ps4's with cheaper materials possibly a slimmer design to make it more cost effective. Give it a year or two and we may see one.

If it's anything like ps3 then they have already started brainstorming the ps5.

Well if you wait till the release day for Europe and the other country, combine them together and that will be the total release-day sales for the PS4. Pretty sure those added up will double the Xbox One's sale.
