What do you mean "prove it"? I am not a fanboy, who will take pictures of XB1s just in case I may need to prove to people on an internet forum. I have no incentive or interest in lying here, not that I am much of liar. I also have much better things to do now, especially right before the end of the school season, busy with students flocking around me constantly asking "will this be on the test, professor?", while I am supposed to prepare several 3-page long exams and grade a few hundred exams within the following 72 hours, along with several seminars, conferences, several quasi-necessary meetings and a semester farewell party, all of this, right before heading to the frigid cold North-East, yet again.

But still, the next time I am in a best-buy or another mall, I will grab my smarphone and take a picture of the XB1s, just for you. Seriously, they are easily available, but I am sure, given the increasing demand for next-gen consoles, many of those will be gone by the end of Christmas, even if it's partially because many disgruntled Playstation fans who will turn to XB1 after not being able to find one. As a matter of fact, I have just seen one, a fellow, who wanted to grab the PS4 at campus Co-op, only to find out that even the showcase one was sold, and he just didn't want to wait another few months and will probably end up buying and XB1 unless he can find a PS4 at Xmas.

So Xbox 1 is not sold out because you saw one at a retailer...

No, I have seen XB1s in a dozen Best-buys in MA-CT region, each of those having a minimum of half a dozen.... Many of them had installed demo units, and showcasing already, none with any PS4 whatsoever. Could you please bother reading my previous post before quoting me.

"I have just seen one..." refers to a PERSON, who wanted to buy a PS4, but was disgruntled after not finding, and decided to buy an XB1 instead unless he can find a PS4 before Xmas.

Nah, you're just delusional and biased.  Your last statement pretty much throws away any credibility you had.  

I think I'll go with that.  

 

You can of course go with whatever you like, and it is true that I am biased against Microsoft as a company, but I have nothing against XB1 as a machine. Also I may be biased, but MY EYES ARE NOT. Opinion is one thing, reporting what I saw is another, which cannot be biased. I know what I saw. I have no incentive to lie, and you will never ever see me lie, I promise. You can twist my words any way you like, but lying is not one of my habits, which I resorted only a handful of times in life, mostly when I was a little kid.
