The pc version had 8gb of video and 3gb of audio though, the rest was better textures if i remember correctly.

Exactly. Even worst-case scenario for your numbers, that's still a minimum of like 10 gigs of textures. Specifically, 10 gigs more than whatever the texture size on the PS3 version is (which itself is bigger than the 360's).

Everyone assuming the console is going to jump back up in January is going to be surprised at a permanent price drop to $299.99 including Sunset Overdrive & Forza 2. I know this because my uncle works at Nintendo.

So looking at game sizes

Halo is ~600mb

Halo 2 is ~4gb

Halo 3 is ~6gb

Halo 4 is ~7gb

So that gives us what 18gb rounded up?

Where is all the extra space coming from?

Remastered sounds and music in Halo1/2 and the VODs for Halo2 would be taking up a decent amount of space I imagine. And all the extra PC maps.

200-400k is a hilarious number that i would be legit surprised by. that's more than 2-3 months of Sony lead erased.

Was to be expected when you have the best software, apps, games and price. Don't forget that lead is just for the US. The xbone also outsold the PS4 in the UK.

It's going to be a bloodbath now until March when Bloodborne is released, PS4 literally has nothing new until then.

Now with over 11 million happy gamers, we should start to see some network effect too.

:lol: at everyone believing cboat and his 7-10k lead post. So much delusion

I wonder if the WiiU beat out the PS4 as well?

This is one thing I really appreciate: you're able to post impressions of the Bone that seem awfully realistic. Crafty exists in some sort of Major Nelson BDSM fantasy, so I appreciate your candor about this stuff.

Did you get the Kinect version? If so, how is that whole thing? If not, does it feel like something is missing from the experience, or was it really just that tacked on?

Yeah, Univbee's one of the few bone owners that doesn't come off as pushing an agenda.

Except Destiny's PVP modes get kind of boring if you like objectives. (Like CTF or oddball.)

I can see that being doable. >300k lead in December then ~150k for Jan, Feb, March. Definitely a massive turnaround from being almost 2:1. Hopefully sony Panic and do a pricedrop for Bloodborne or a bundle with a Bravia TV and I can pick up a cheap PS4 and a new TV! :v:

Coming from the guys who are so angry at the xbox like their stock options depend on it they just can't help but post about it. You know you could just not open this thead?
