Sounds like complete BS to me.

How can poeple who didn't even preorder the console just decide to drop whatever they are doing and jump in line for something they;

A) had no intent of buying.
B) Made no provisions for buying (nobody buys a £$400 console out of the blue, just like nobody jumps in line to buy the next iphone when they see a qeu forming outside the apple store)
C) Stores should honor whatever limited stock they have for people who actually preordered the console...

A guy at my job left work at 3:30pm on Thursday and went to Bestbuy to wait in line. They had a line for people who preordered and a second line filled with people who did not. Out of (50) or so in the non-preorder line all but (15) got one.

 

Is it that hard to picture people waiting in line at a product launch? Not everyone preorders. Also, with 1M or more already being sold you find this hard to believe? It is obviously in VERY HIGH demand.
