Awesome. Hope there is some in stock somewhere on next Thursday so I can scoop mine up. Don't think I have been this excited for a new gen console since the Dreamcast.
BradleyJ said: I was waiting in line for a TV at a walmart in small town Iowa and on either side of me were the lines for the PS4 and the Xbox One. There were 20 PS4s and 48 Ones. When the lines opened up the PS4 was gone in roughly a minute, with about a dozen more people in the line that went away empty handed. When I looked over at the One I expected a similar thing, but there was still about 15 Ones remaining. For the remaining 2 hours I waited in my line there was only 5 additional people that picked up the One...and they ALL put them back. Meanwhile, there was several people who came by still asking for the PS4. The clerk was literally begging people that came by to please buy and Xbox One (I'm assuming she just wanted to leave the area) but as far as I can tell it never happened. Those Ones may still be at the Walmart. I, the girl, the people in line with me, and some supervisors all couldn't believe that they didn't sell out. I'm still a little surprised. And that's my black friday video game anecdote. Take it as you please. |
I take that as the Xbone outselling the PS4 in your store 33 to 20 with 15 more available for probable sale throughout the day :)
I don't see how having plenty stock at this time of year is a bad thing.
I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

pretty much what I think.... I know a bunch of my friends GF/wife that want to buy them an XB one and didn't do it yet... that's when availableity becomes relevant... cause trust me a lot of GF will buy an XB one instead of a PS4 if this is what is available this holliday unless the BF is a diehard PS fan and those are not a majority just a vocal minority (die hard fans of any console that is) or the opposite this works both ways....
I figured this would be the case for X1 this year. The reason for the previous Black Friday and Holiday sell outs were due to MS's annual $100 gift card incentives.
Xbox sold out where I'm from for 2 consecutive weeks after re-stock.
I was the last one on the line to get a X1. I was stocked.

What does this have to do with my point? There is no outlet that sells PS4's or Wii U's in my mall. You have to go across the street to Best Buy and its sold out over there. I was saying I felt bad because its a great product and even with no competition in the mall they couldn't sell out even on Black Friday.

Given the 1 million sales in 24 hours, I'd say the X1 is doing fine. And its clear MS put a massive amount of inventory on the market. |
I saw more of that earlier today. Good to see the 360 still selling strong with the people. Those door busters are incredible.
