Microsoft Says You've Killed 3 Billion Zombies So Far, Go Kill More

[search_rip]

That said, there aren't many Xbox Ones left on the shelves. "Demand is far exceeding supply in the 13 countries we've launched and we are sold out at retailers around the world," says Mehdi.

That musn't include the UK then, my local game emporium said they had about half a dozen left in stock that have been gathering dust since they got them.

I'm beginning to suspect that Microsoft are going to deliberately evade any questions about sales numbers and keep to a vague 'we sold them all!' rather than give an actual number.

I´m sure it, also, does not include México. I swear you can go to any retailer here and find a stock from 10 to 20 units gathering dust, not bias to PS4 but it's been crazy how it is selling over here, not "Germany style of crazy" (like that Youtube video showed a few days ago) but still...

Remember how all those people (including Jim at one point I think) were saying consoles just wouldn't sell in the current market? How the age of the XBOX had passed and the PS was to be swept under the rug.

With the power vested in me by Hindsight Bias I announce those people to be idiots.

That's assuming the Xbone is actually selling since they refuse to give out any actual fucking data. The PS is selling incredible anyways.

(Doesn't seem like people are playing Forza 5 much...)

That would explain why my son is ranked 2,544th in the world. Actually, he is VERY good at racing games so I shouldn't be surprised.

Got him Dead Rising 3 for Christmas so that zombie killing tally will go up.

4 creations? Really? I think i made... 2? Still such statistics would be great regardlesss. we already know most people dont finish their games, so thats nothing new really.

You may have only made two but I think four still sounds way too low. If you even start the game you probably iterate through at least four different versions of your creature in the first section. Given the number of players like myself that spent way too long tinkering with the various creators I find it odd that the average was still less than the number of different creators in the game.

see i dont count that as separate creations. one creature from start to space age was one creation to me. i finished one game (at the end i just bum-rushed the center of universe, didn't even research half the technologies) and i tried another but didnt make it past the dinosaurs age. The primordial soul level was the most fun part of that game actually.
by that logic i guess you would say i created what? i believe it was 5 ages there so 6 creatures?

So we're 2 weeks in to the next genertation, and Microsoft is already resorting to irrelevant fluff statistics so they don't have to provide any useful data.

Oh, and I think Mr. Medhi might be telling a naughty fib about all consoles being sold out.

Blasphemy. all statistics are relevant. statistics are the key to everything!

Also even if were talking seriuosly, this couple with soem videos shows how little people actually play these games. I mean 300+ miles per player driven over 10 days? with cars that drive over 100 miles per hour? thats like what 4 hours of playtime per player?

As an undead citizen, I find this greatly upsetting and offensive. This rampant anti-mortism is disquieting. Surely, you who still have beating hearts can find a place for us within them?

Joke aside, that's rather interesting. I like it when games keep a little tally of what you've been up to. Although it's rather meaningless data, but fun trivia nonetheless.

Are you a member of C.U.R.E by any chance?

OT: I'm not sure whether I'm surprised or not. I've only killed about 11,000 though.

I resent the implication that I am only an average zombie slayer sir, and I'll thank you to cease these libelous remarks post-haste.

Haha, can't be libel if I'm quoting you : I'd like to imagine that I'm slightly above the average.

To steal a line from Woody Harrelson in Zombieland: "My mama always told me I'd be good at something. Who knew it'd turn out to be killin' zombies? "

Every line in that movie is worthy of stealing. Awesome.

Hmm, interesting. Are PS4s also available at the moment? I know a lot of people talked about how Sony had less of a manufacturing capability than Microsoft by a fair margin so scarcity would be a problem.

Yes, but for the purpose of these statistics, it does not matter one bit what YOU consider to be a separate creation. All that matters is how the game counts creations.

I'm taking the Fox News approach of: It's fact because I say so. Keep your fancy European "truth" off my yard you Godless hippie.

You didn't kill anywhere near several thousand in a short amount of time, but it should still be way higher then it is. I mean, by the time I beat Dead Rising 1 with the true ending, I had about 6.5 thousand kills and I beat it in two days. They also only got 415 million gamerscore earned. Most games you will earn well over that in 2 hours of play, with the only exception actually being Dead Rising 1, which had insanely hard achievements that gave fuck all points.

I actually did kill a few thousand in a relatively short time. This may enlighten what I meant about the parking garage and plowing through hundreds of Zombies:

Yes, and since i did not knew that they counted them as seperate when making statistics i went with what i thought was counted as creation. Now that you have said the otherwise i have corrected that mistake, hence the rest of my post you didnt quote.
