Xbox Ones are not sold out in my mall (Black Friday)

So I was walking around with a friend for Black Friday and came across a Microsoft store with Microsoft propaganda all over the place. There were two girls working for the store dancing awkwardly to Just Dance. Eventually my friend and I were greeted by an 'Apple-like' customer service attendant who wanted us to try out the Xbox One. They are really trying to get them out of the stores. I saw more 360's going off of the shelves at my mall to tell you the truth. People want the door buster deals. Maybe next year...maybe next year. After I left the Microsoft store, they had a Microsoft booth halfway down the mall filled with Xbones and the 360 was still outselling it. I felt bad because the Xbox is a good piece of hardware with a great launch lineup.

Why did you feel bad?

I dont see this as a negative at all.

Would it be bad if the PS3 outsold the PS4 this year or would it be "AWESOME SALES!!"

Was it bad when the PS2 outsold the PS3 at launch?

Its very early days, people need to stop overlaying the first few days of a launch on the entire gen.

Patience.

 

There is no Gamestop in my mall. Microsoft has Zero competition besides the cannibalized sales between the 360 and Xbone. They still cant sellout the Xbones. Sony is sold out of PS4's at my best buy next door. When you have a mall full of people looking for deals it hurts, especially when the workers at the MS store have carts out with Xbones ready to go. Sadly enough, the PS3 outsold the 360's first year which means even though they had a loss at the time they outsold Microsofts. Of course they didn't outsell the PS2, but the PS2 was a phenomenon all in itself because it was the go-to console for everything. The Xbone is supposed to be that console.
