Americans are impatient(being one i know this)  not all but most are, especially parents who want to get this as a gift for thier kids, to them xb1 and ps4 or the same, hell i cant even tell you how many parents come in just asking for Nintendo then tell you the game they want for it and its for another system all together, they dont care, if ones out theyll ask well whats in that is comparable.  So yea PS4 not instock for desperate parents not in the know means sales for someone else.

Possibly, but if we talk about the US then I'm pretty sure that the X1 will be sold out for christmas over there as well, so I can't really see a scenario of a desperate parent walking into a retailer trying to find a PS4 and instead leaving with an X1 since that is just lying there, happening very often. Simply said, supply issues right now will not hurt the PS4.

At some point it'd be good to realize that just cause something makes sense to you, it doesn't mean that everyone thinks that way. I read a post a month or so ago from an ms fan (he's been on the site for a long time, so I have no reason to doubt him), who said that a friend of his was planning to buy a xbone, but couldn't wait and bought a ps4 when he went to a gamestop. It sounds crazy, but it does happen. People who work at retail can attest that. Is it crazy? Is it stupid? Maybe. Point is, not everyone who does something that doesn't make sense to you is lying.
