GAF vs Chertz: which do you dislike more?

This is why I stick to the gaming side.

Though sometimes the politics even leaks into gaming discussions.

Sales Predictions For PlayStation VR Slashed By Millions Of Units

 PlayStation VR sold out within hours and is still  rarer than a bug free Bethesda game, so you would think Sony would be  doing everything to get them on shelves. Well, apparently not. Sales  forecasts for the device by analysts Superdata have been slashed for  2016 from 2.6 million to just 750k.

 With demand so high for the device, and reviews being generally  positive you have to wonder what Sony are playing at. Stephanie Llamas,  director of research and insights at SuperData, has some thoughts.

 "PSVR had the best opportunity to benefit from the holidays but their  supply inconsistencies and lack of marketing have put them behind their  potential," she explained to GI.Biz. "They did not offer any  first-party deals this weekend, restock bundles or market the device,  pushing instead for the PS 4 Pro. They have also pointed out that VR  looks even better on a Pro than a standard or slim PS 4, so the message  to most gamers is: Get the Pro now, then the PSVR later. As a result, we  won't see them break 1M shipments until well into the new year."

 "They can afford to take it slow since they have no competition for  now, so their supply and sales will rise steadily into 2017 as opposed  to riding the seasonal wave," she adds.

 I am very pleased with my PSVR, as are the rest of the TSA staff who  bought one, but Sony really need to start pushing the device in 2017. Of  course, huge sales don't always mean success; Kinect sold eight million  units within the first few days.

 UPDATE: Superdata were predicting sales of 2.6m for  PSVR at the start of November, they've obviously had a bit of a think  since then. PlayStation VR is still on track to outsell Oculus and HTC  Vive.

This, this whole thread is why I hate vgc more. Somehow an outlandish prediction is sonys fault. Then you get people saying things like "the released to many hardware products" because 1 that relies on the other is too many?

Then you have people denying shortages are real

Last I checked PSVR was sold out at every single online retailer and in stores I couldn't find any stock in Colorado.

Well the dude is in Netherlands lol.

And this is coming from the community which produced darkfeanor... The guy who straight up denied shortages existed for the ps4 and he never saw any demand for it.

You mean this?

And to this day, GAF still hasn't owned up to it and is still peddling the "GamerGate is a woman-hating movement" narrative.

I think this video by InternetAristocrat/MisterMetokur explains the history of GamerGate the best. It's rather long, but it's also the most thorough video that covers this topic.

Especially if you show up and announce being at comic con....
