A poster on Beyond3D forum (one of the most important forums dedicated to tech talk on technology and videogames) shared some interesting data on retail figures. First of all, there’s the stunning number of 1.8 million customers in the current wait/notify list of Gamestop for a PlayStation 4, while Xbox One is measured at 400K.

Here’s some more interesting data regarding the actual sales in North America during the launch period. Supposedly, PlayStation 4 placed 456K units between Gamestop and BestBuy, while Xbox One placed 232K units. Also, the rumor which claimed Xbox One to have beaten PlayStation 4 in Black Friday sales (again, for Gamestop and BestBuy) is confirmed by the poster, but only because most of these stores had more available Xbox One units to sell in that period.

Again, this is a rumor but one that seemed worth reporting on. We’ll keep you updated.

Yay! More fanboy rage incoming.

So, is the Doritocracy hidding de TRU FACTS??

Holy sh** if true. That's months of shipments at the current pace!

Maybe that´s why BenVTrigger, don´t know if you know him, was expecting the PS4 to be hard to find till march 2014!

Kudos to MS for keeping supply in par with demand.

Wonder how much the 30+ countries launch is affecting Sony in the US.

hard for me to imagine xbox's waiting list is that high. i've seen quite a few xbone's in the wild between my target/best buy. if gamestop isn't serving you just go to another store.

They probably have, whos gonna be arsed to ring gamestop to be asked to be removed from there notify list. 

Those people will be waiting a long time

Damn. Sony run your factories at 100% speed. They need your product.
