The interview was recorded on the 11th of December.I suspect this podcast could have recorded before Major Nelson spin.
I haven't read a single post in this thread but after the distain and bashing of Major nelson with his 'fastest selling console' piece, i can't wait to read similar posts in this thread...
Fastest selling console of that 27 minutes.
How can major Nelson compete with those numbers?

True, especially if you haven't been keeping up with GAFs in jokes.Kind of on a tangent, but it would be great if thread titles that have been edited by a mod would indicate as such. Perhaps a different color text for the thread title or some kind of prefix. It can be super confusing at times.
My God people actually thought the 19m/month was legit? HAHAHAHAHAHAH. You poor souls.
This thread will go down as top 5 of the year easy.
The hype will die. Everyone who really wants a PS4 will get one in 2013, hardly anyone will buy one in 2014 until September. If people really think the PS4's momentum won't die ... I dunno what to tell you except you're wrong, I guess.
edit: same goes for the xbox
Who is Zomg?
Any link related to what he said about these?
Our supply chain analyst thinks Sony are shipping up to 100k per day globally by air and sea. He said that Sony will struggle for stock in February after the Chinese new year as their stockpiles will have been exhausted by air freighted units, but also that they probably don't care about that because the period after January is not so important anyway.
Basically he thinks Sony are just bringing forwards all of January's shipment volume (which would leave about now by boat) to get units on shelves before Xmas. So, err, yes. He said 300k per week should arrive globally by regular sea based shipments in December (set off early November) and a further 300k per week by air that sets off on a daily basis from Shenzhen cargo airport. He noted that shipping volume (and bulk pricing) has dipped on routes with companies regularly used by Sony, which he said is indicative of Sony air freighting stock.
Until Jan 6th is what he estimates, then they will trickle air shipments and let the regular sea based shipments catch up over about a month.
Here you go:
It seems none of you guys realise this spin didn't come from Sony. All Jack said on the blogcast was the '12k on Amazon' anecdote. The 19mil was a mod edit (my dibs on Y2Kev).
This is GAF mocking the Microsoft spin of the Nov NPD.
So they are basically going to sell out 300k a week. Hot damn, Wii U am cry.

Why is it bias to poke fun at Microsoft's ridiculous use of math? They attract the teasing with their hilarious PR.That's actually worse because it shows that a mod is in on the bias. By reading the title and OP, there's no way to know that Jack isn't playfully ribbing Major on the fastest selling BS, which would be fine because its just BS. We really don't need a mod piling on by stealth title changing.

That actually strikes me as being kind of slow considering that millions of people use Amazon. That's roughly 445 consoles per minute, or about 7 every second. In comparison, it's not unprecedented for artists to sell out Madison Square Garden (18,200 seats) within a minute or two.
Of course, the PS4 is selling very well, I'm just surprised it took 27 minutes to move 12,000 units rather than 4 or 5.

#dead at the number of people benny_a was able to string along for an entire page
Are you shitting me... Was he joking?

I don't want to backseat mod but maybe a ban for anyone who didn't listen to the whole thing may be in order. It's the aural equivalent to not reading the OP. Just a few weeks off to teach people a lesson, then we wouldn't have confused people like benny_a in here riling people up.Man, this thread title change is getting all kinds of people who think Jack really said this. It doesn't help that the OP link is a 2.5 hour podcast.
Well he sent me a PM and we planned the whole thing out. I even wire transferred him his payment from Kaz Hirai.
The point is that it's ribbing, not bias. Every company receives it where it's deserved. And to be totally honest, it was the same position reversed with the PS3 fucked up launch. Microsoft did a lot of damage to our perception of them, speaking as industry/gaming fans - and they are going to get ribbing for stupid PR like "we're the fastest selling in November".
EDIT: That wasn't entirely clear, what I am saying is I think people ARE specifically sensitive to ribbing because you don't feel the XB1 is being given a chance. And I am just explaining not everyone here is willing to overlook the errors that were made in the leadup to it's launch. They will be scrutinised more thoroughly on shit like that.
What do you mean confused people like benny_a? I can have a different opinion!I don't want to backseat mod but maybe a ban for anyone who didn't listen to the whole thing may be in order.

I can neither confirm nor deny that I've received a wire transfer.Well he sent me a PM and we planned the whole thing out. I even wire transferred him his payment from Kaz Hirai.

That tells me nothing. I need average cancer growth per second.Relative statistics gave me cancer.

Yes the mods are biased. Biased against stupidity. What Major Nelson said was one of the stupidest things a PR person has said since Playstation family or ecosystem.That's actually worse because it shows that a mod is in on the bias. By reading the title and OP, there's no way to know that Jack isn't playfully ribbing Major on the fastest selling BS, which would be fine because its just BS.
