Would partly explain the $499
at $399 they couldn't sell anymore consoles anyways due to critically low supply issues, but they can't afford to let Sony have 2013 Holidays with BF4, CoD, AC, and the entire first wave of Next gen games all to themselves, they need to show up at least.
The ESRAM yield issues must be true.
Yikes! As if the Xbox 1 didn't have enough problems. I think the Xbox 1 will be delayed so they will continue to take pre orders but it won't launch till December or January.

MS will delay X1 till next year sometime, but in the meantime they will just buy Sony and reap all of the profits from the PS4, problem solved.
very interesting indeed..thanks for giving us some info Ben
also can someone explain how this Esram=less supply?

Shortly after Microsoft and Sony held their E3 press conferences on June 10, GameStop had pre-order SKUs in their system for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 respectively. With price points and launch windows announced, both systems were available for consumers to reserve almost immediately. Just over a week later, the pre-order SKU for Xbox One has been removed from GameStop’s system corporate-wide without explanation.
As of this morning, GameStop management has confirmed that they are not currently taking reserves on Xbox One. No official explanation has been given for the removal of the SKU at this time, and GameStop has not clarified whether or not they will re-open the reserve list at a later time. PlayStation 4 is still available for reserve, and Sony recently announced that GameStop has pledged to buy every PlayStation 4 they can get their hands on. |

Keep in mind that reserves are down but may return.
Situation is delicate but pre orders may open up again. If so no idea what quantity will look like.
I wonder if the console will be delayed to early 2014

| nightsurge said: First of all, as far as I'm aware from being on this site for several years and following Gamestop related items closely, BenV is only a store manager level or possibly regional level over stores in an area/city (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Ben, but I really see no reason why you'd have to have any hint of secrecy to it or "no comment" type responses. that just fuels unnecessary worry). My contacts of that same level are all saying the same things: "Supply related. Preorders sold out and MS hasn't authorized anymore yet, while Sony has allowed us to increase our total." I'm guessing a big part of it could be that MS is targeting an Xbox One release of one to almost 2 months before PS4. All the retailers I've seen are "predicting" the PS4 release closer to the end of the year/Christmas time frame where as the Xbox One is looking at early November. An extra month's worth of production this early on could easily make a difference between only 10 per store and 30+. All my local stores were maxed out at 10 Xbox One's per store and 20-30 PS4's. I remember when the Wii and PS3 came out our area had similar limits. Wii had 20 and PS3 had 15 per store in my area. |
This sounds about right and what I'm going with.
I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
My closest GameStop ran out of preorders the same day as the E3 conference. They had 200 slots available. The one a town over ran out the day after (I called both...amazingly they too said 200 slots)
