Bion! Bion! Bion! Bion! Bion! What's up everybody? Welcome to Podcast Bion episode 330. I am one of your host Greg Miller alongside. He only does everything calm, Mario. Hello. Hello. How are you? I'm alright. How are you? I'm good. I can't complain. We just did a really good reo on theater. Yeah, we did. Super stoked.

Everyone in the theater. Yeah, they ordered 1886. We'll talk about that soon enough. But more importantly, the baby boys returned. You know, you knew them as the PlayStation powerhouse. Then powerhouse. Right. Now back to the PlayStation powerhouse. Yes.

How I comments. Bion. Bion. Thank you very much for having me. Oh my god. We're so excited. I did not realize we were going to start recording. You just went for it. That's how I was already. You're in the office for too long. It's been so long. You've been in a real professional place too long. You forgot how to silence my phone. I almost checked the levels for 90 minutes.

I'll do that. PlayStation broadcast. Yes. Oh, thank you. Thank you for the plug. Okay. So everyone should remember you. Yes. You're Ryan Clements. Maybe not though. You may have some. You may have some new listeners. We're just losing. Listen. We're just dying out. Oh, no. Yeah, it's true. A lot of people.

Happy Rodriguez. Dead. The prophecies didn't foresee this. There was no way to tell. Um, how long has been gone from my genome? Let's, it's been almost a year, right?

Or see what? Yeah, it actually is. It's actually funny. It's probably like the year anniversary that I left, like coming up within days. It's very appropriate. We're happy you're back. Thank you.

Now you work in PlayStation. Yes. I do. What do you do at PlayStation? So in the vein of Jeff Rubinstein, an old friend, we

uh, we blogged. I work at, uh, at, uh, on the social media team, PlayStation, which is really just a fancy way of saying that I help run the PlayStation blog and then also help, uh, keep up their Twitter and Facebook.

And specifically, I also am in charge of their Tumblr, which everyone should check out. What's that? There's my little plug. Playstation.tumblr.com. You're good. You're good. It's just, it's, uh, it's just a collection of fan art and screenshots and

Oh, so it's just all right. Don picks it. No. Zero don't pick. I'm afraid it's all very family. Welcome back. Thank you. I, I do want to say real quick. Yeah, it was, it's so nice. As we were just saying, it was so nice to see all the beyond fans, uh, express their excitement over me coming back. Because it's, it's just a blast. I love seeing all you guys. I thought I made it pretty clear on the tweet to one show only. You're back. Right. People were like, oh, he's back.

You're still very much as a job at PlayStation. Nothing is changed there. And I, and I hope that, you know, I can return again as a guest in the future. But yeah, it's just awesome to be here. Many people excited that you're back. Thank you. One of them is Neil. Hello, Neil. Neil wrote in said hello beyond beyond. I started listening to Beyond after a bad breakup. Beyond wasn't my very first podcast as well. I never went to IGN.com, which pays the bills right before Borderlands 2 came out. I wrote in and was hit of the week. Thanks to Ryan. And that was when Napster with a dash.

Added me with a dash. We played through all Borderlands 2 together. He waited for me to be online again. So we could progress this story. He goes on for a while. Here's his day exchange. Phone numbers eventually played all their co-op games together. But then he says, here's where the story gets crazy. Christmas break came around. Okay. He starts talking to this kid. All his friends are out of town. He decides he's going to go to Texas the week of New Year's hang out with this guy. He's only met through beyond. Thanks to you doing head of the week. Okay. He says I bought my plane ticket and flew out there and hung out with a guy that I'd only met through beyond.

I met his family and close friends and we all had a great time hanging out. I finally was able to put some time in a Rezogun hashtag column was right. And I can't wait for him to be able to come to California. I would still like to thank you all. Still like to thank everyone at Beyond for being such a great community of gamers. And thank you even more to my friend that I finally hung out with in person. Napster KNAB STER dash. Awesome. That's because of Napster with a dash. Napster. He didn't want that copy right in front of me. That's a beautiful story. Yeah. I was honestly expecting I thought it was going to end with them being

together as a couple. Me too. Then, you know, they're just killed. You are dark. Dark today. Dark humor. You know, how else is excited that you're back? Me? Well, you were for us. The trio is back. The original trio. That wasn't the original at all. Well, I didn't think about that. Yeah. It happened. Yeah. Fist full of crafts. You know, this young gentleman Mr. Axe. Of course. He is we talk all the time with two three month PlayStation Plus voucher codes to give away throughout the show.

One, so you need to keep listening and watching. But of course, the MP3 goes up on Tuesday and the video goes up on Wednesday. So if you're watching, you probably missed out. No, those codes are long gone. That's so nice of Alex. Everyone's excited. You're here. We love you a lot. Thank you. Um, I feel loved. We should.

It's been a good show. Yeah. Well, thanks for having me. I know. This is IGN's PlayStation podcast. The number one. It wasn't the real address. I have to say the real thing. Professional.

I don't know. Nothing's changed. I just remember two. I forgot my lubricant. I'm not going to be able to move up here in the show. I've been moving up a lot during the show lately. Okay. Do you have a dry skin? I do. I do. He puts a lotion on his skin and looks right in the goggles. I do.

The knuckles get so dry. Yeah, man. It's a good stuff. Yeah. Well, I don't have a problem with the cuticles. My cuticles are all fuck. That's nails, right? You like right above the nail. We're the number one PlayStation Plus on the internet. Let's begin the show with what is and forever will be the Roper report.

For some news. There are nine items on the list. Number one, PlayStation 4's extraordinary sales paces continued. So I revealed that over 5.3 million consoles have been sold to consumers as of a few days ago. And the console hasn't even launched in Japan yet. The Japanese launch is set for February 22nd. My prediction is 500,000 units sold in Japan in two days. We'll see. We'll see how that. We'll see how that goes. Of course, Ryan comments. That's good for you.

You got a raise. How much of a cut of that? Do you know if that's how it works?

Please continue. Interestingly, I was just looking at some numbers now. We often compare the console sales obviously between Xbox One and Wii U.

PS4 is outsold Xbox one. Obviously, but it seems like PS4 is now in the realm in the region of outselling having outsold Wii U in about 90 days on the market.
