Microsoft is already sold out on Amazon and their single SKU for GameStop. Seems like no one cares about any of it to be honest.

The core gamers will always buy at launch. Nothing new. The long term will be far more telling.

That is why I just answered his question about price. ATM no one cares and there was a great article written about a lot of this stuff earlier explaining Microsoft's Apple like effect with their brand.

So far, the coverage I’ve seen online has been decidedly pro-Sony, thanks largely to the lower price of the PS4—$399 vs. $499 for the Xbox One. But let’s give Microsoft their due: Xbox fans are easily the most fanatical of any video game audience, and the one customer group from which the firm derives Apple-style loyalty. At $100 more than the PS4, the Xbox One will sell out handily this holiday season, thanks solely to these fans. Microsoft can then lower the price in 2014 as the console moves to more markets

But it’s not all coming up PS4. Sony doesn’t offer the same range of amazing media services that Microsoft does, and it certainly offers no TV integration capabilities, as is possible with the Xbox One. These markets are much bigger than the market for console video game players.

Ultimately, E3 is just a slice in time, and one thing Microsoft has done well between its May reveal of the Xbox One and this week’s show is keep future customers in the loop about its plans. I expect this to continue, and that Microsoft and Sony will find the market not as lopsided this fall as was the coverage this week at E3.

There’s no way to look at this week’s events and make an accurate prediction about which company will win the coming generation of console sales. But here’s one thing we can all agree on: It won’t be Nintendo.

 "In the loop about plans"? Does that mean fire an employee about Twitter posts then not talk to the press at E3?
