Not a full statement. Don't think they're releasing one. They posted this 'Q&A' after the NPD data came out and gave some quotes to the media http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/13/qa-ps4-by-the-numbers/
Meanwhile Microsoft is talking about
Xbox* leading January software sales and giving out more meaningless stats like "740 million hours of fun"

Bummer. Alright. I was hoping there would be an easier way, but I'll just be patient and try.

Pretty much this. They aren't sitting on shelves long at all once they're put up. Try and find out exactly when they get deliveries than head to the store at that exact time and let an employee know you want a system.

^ Thanks for the heads up. Will probably check it out tomorrow. For those that own the console, how do you guys like it? Any game recommendations or tips?

I love the PS4. I put a lot of hours in 2k14 and BF4, but haven't really touched CoD (I was a CoD fan before BF4 being my first Battlefield game). If I could I would get Tomb Raider from what I've been hearing, but I'm holding my money for MGS:GZ and/or Infamous. And if you're looking forward to either one, any title should keep you busy until then. Just make sure you get PS+ if you haven't already. The free games are always clutch, and honestly because of it, I've been playing my PS3 more than my PS4.

I hate when companies do that.

Every company is #1 or "the leading" in something nowadays.
It's usually something meaningless.

@LOBCITY Yup I heard a lot of mixed reviews on knack, more bad than good but I love these kinda games and I liked it a lot.
My homie got the lego game and likes it a lot. Go try to the demo from the PS Store if you havent played it yet.

I may or may not have reported you for modding.
Nah I didn't
This thread (and the previous threads) have sparked a lot of discussion from people I know. I know rule #1 of NT but this community has a very unique viewpoint so I've passed it along and continue to mention it and pass it along to friends in the industry. I've got a family member who's an editor at IGN who pokes around on here. My friends within the industry, superiors, and community people read this thread regularly.
The reason why this thread is interesting is because people aren't on NT specifically for video game related conversations or news, so the discussions and feedback on here are taken and categorized in a totally different manner.
It's all a game within a game to help better make a game.
Without getting disgustingly specific I and others (you'll especially see this in marketing) use what we call "Personas" which is basically a fictional character that we assign traits to for a specific market subset. These personas represent the user/customer base and we use them to tailor our work since we're developing with a player centered approach.
When doing the data mining for these personas we've found it very helpful to assign quotes from posts or interviews to various personas. So we might take a quote fromBad Religion and attribute it to "Jacque" our White, Male, Canadian, Hockey loving, RPG centric gamer. These persona's are treated as a living entity that evolve with player feedback and market change.
When I talk about NT being a different and good place to get discussions and opinions from it's because as I said people aren't here for video game news directly. You might prefer to discuss your gaming and news here but NT is a site about sneakers and that's what originally brought you here. So the community here can give you a bigger picture of your player base than somewhere like Kotaku or a publisher/game specific message board where you can only assume that people are basement dwelling weaboos and take their opinions as such. While I feel NT in general is overly generalized in categorization at the top level (For example, years ago I actually heard during a meeting "We need to get this Niketalk market share do what you need to do to get these ads running to the urban population") I think that there is a wealth of great, diverse, and viable opinions that come out of this community.
Here you can drill down deep and get into a whole bunch of cross post referencing to see what the player-base is involved in. That's all for the community and information research people to do. TakeD Double who is a categorized (I'm not saying this is 100% fact) as a Sony loyalist, who is in the European market (British?), is a minority, technology versed, interested in fitness (running), interested in F1 racing, an avid soccer fan, and doesn't give a **** about Zelda.
Having that kind of data to add into your persona's or to get very specific when talking to investors is a great thing to have.
That was a really good read. I didn't know it was like that but the NT gaming community is great so I'm not surprised.
You got me down to a T as well
For the people at Sony, Type0 + Vita is all I ask for, oh and a AAA JRPG but I think that's coming.

I gotta throw this out there.
Watched/read a few reviews for Lightning Returns, and the story is what most people's hang up is.
The thing is, I'm 20 hours in and its extremely easy to follow... I dont understand what the issue is. Its not the most compelling bit of fiction, but it makes sense. And they have done something I never thought possible....
They made Lightning likeable. Through her interactions she has been waaaayyy less stiff and distant. I've yet to skip a cutscene, when Id have done half already for the first 2 games. The irony is ***Minor Spoiler*** she supposedly has lost her feeling for people ****END Spoiler****
This game isnt perfect, but I feel alot of reviewers are just going through the motions, seeing the disdain alot of casual FF fans have had for the XIII series, and judge it on that.
Anyway, Ill put more down on here when I beat the game.
