Forums - Gaming Discussion - I don't think PS4 demand is as high as we are lead to believe.

The times have changed. People will pay a premium for a game console, just not $1000.00.


If more people were willing to pay $500, I'd be impressed.

People are struggling to make a profit selling PS4s, period.


Of course you would be.  Nice stealth trolling there.

Just cause people arent willing to be ripped off on ebay in large numbers, doesnt mean there isnt demand.

 

Once again, this silences the people that think there is a large profit to be made by selling a PS4. Hence, demand isn't as amazing as some believe.

The end of my OP says I believe demand does exist.

The best launch in the history of gaming and yet,demand isn't amazing people. You heard it here first.

I am not sure what you are epectations are.  Wii ebay prices? The situation is different here. There is a subtitue for the PS4, it's called the Xbone and it's 100 dollars more and it's more readily available than Ebay ps4.

I am sure you know all of that. Your threads lately make me think that you've lost some of your intelligence. Shame.



Does anyone really care about people who buy launch consoles just to sell em online for profit? Cause I don't. I buy and play consoles and games, I don't sell them online. I'm glad PS4's aren't selling on ebay, just means gamers are smarter these days.

Alright. Doesnt mean that there isnt a high demand. 

If you admit your data doesnt mean anything... what are we debating here?


My data points out demand isn't as big as some believe. Hence, some people will be surprised to hear sellers are struggling to make a profit on the mega popular PS4.

I feel you're turning this into a black and white argument, either demand exist or it doesn't. I'm saying demand does exist, its just not a strong as some believe.

The demand is there. You can close your eyes and refuse to believe it if you want. Target sold out of all ps4s in my area within minutes on Sunday and I checked Milwaukee (since i was staying there for the weekend) and they were sold out within minutes since i was looking for one to sell on craigslist for over 500 dollars since ive already sold 2 that way

The same goes for all consoles. My fiance bought an Xbone just to sell it and ended up without a single bid. She had to take it back to Walmart. People, for whatever reason, don't see the point. Maybe it's the rise of the social networks and more people are informed. Idk.

Read my response to Nem, it applies to you as well.

So how strong of a demand did you think the PS4 had, where did it come from, and who made you believe it?



And your sources are ebay and craigslist? Okay...



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I'm aware, but X1 apparently isn't selling out. So why would it sell for a profit?
