I ended up with two too links. I am willing to sale one of them for the same price I got it at Toys R Us. If not I will return it to the store.

Exactly what Khushrenada said. Nothing more nothing less.

See I think unclebob is just projecting.

Time to buy a used gamestop game and return it because it doesn't work.

You know what else was missing from the Nintendo direct? Club Nintendo and that is now dead.

that was a mess let me try again. PS4 is beating Wii U in year to date sales, wondering how much longer before it can pass it life to date, any predictions? I am thinking by May of 2016 Ps4 will blow past Wii U and then its all over.

Considering the Wii U won't have any games left in development by May 2016, it should be "all over" regardless of how the PS4's doing at that point.
Is your name Michael Patcher? Because you just pulled that out of your ass

The one I really wanted from wave one was the villager. I had it on my hands but decided to get it later. That was a bad decision.

I'll leave my order open and see what happens. Today Toys R Us cancelled all of my wave 3 pre-orders

if you have a spare USB phone charger plug one end of that to it and see if that powers your USB drive.

The hard drive uses a proprietary port.

No, one of the two USB connectors, connect it to the power brick

I made the pre-order on October 10th with a little Mac, little Mac shipped but Falcon didn't. I emailed them and said sorry will give you next day delivery. But look other people are selling it for 70 bucks. I'm going to try at target

If Smash Wii U's attach rate in Japan is anywhere NEAR 25% - hell, if the shipment is even near that - I'll eat my damn hat.
Why would you eat that cool blue hat?

So Xbone is not user friendly? Ps4 requires a screw driver, USB flash drive to add more storage. My 32 GB Wii U took 2 years to fill up, then I bought a USB hard drive plugged it in then hit format. And that was it :-[ :P:

Why do I need a 120 GB model, if I have 2 TB right now?

I wonder how much money the publisher gets for the "free"  games

24
Yes, all the profit from the video game division was wiped out. They already sold their pc business and they announced they are making less TVs and less phones to try to loose less money.

The IGN article mentions analysts predicting the end of the console.  Like we have tablets and phones now so what do you need videogame consoles for?  That's such a non-gamer perspective.  The reality is that non-gaming machines aside from PCs are only suitable for casual fare.  The videogame market existed for decades before the blue ocean crowd came in so why can it not sustain itself on that pre-existing audience that was already buying games before Wii Sports and Angry Birds came around?  Try to play a GOOD game on a tablet and then try to argue we don't need consoles.

I think that's a big part of the PS4's success.  Consoles are for dedicated gamers.  Nintendo tried to recreate the Wii's mainstream success while MS is backpedaling off of a previously mandatory Kinect purchase, an accessory that only impressed casuals.  The casuals are gone.  They have their phones.  Sony saw that, the other guys didn't.  The PS4 really hasn't impressed me yet.  It doesn't turn me off either though.  It reminds me a lot of the PS1 era where Sony succeeded by simply being competent during a time the other guys were screwing up.

Here's something that's quite impressive: Sony has now bounced back from a screw up and could claim to be the only videogame company to truly do that.  They beat the old guard with the PS1, stayed on top with the PS2, slipped big time with the PS3 but managed to slowly rebuild their credibility by the end of the generation and appear to have made a complete comeback with the PS4.  Nintendo thinks they came back with the Wii but really just temporarily found a new audience while further destroying the flimsy standing they had with the traditional audience.  Sony has regained their old target audience after losing a fair chunk of them to Microsoft.  They actually learned from their mistakes, a concept that sounds simple and obvious in theory but is rarely executed correctly.  Of course the overall company of Sony is run by idiots but maybe that makes the PlayStation division's continued success all the more impressive.

The question is will Sony still be around for the next gen.
