Well he said he only saw one in stock on shelves actually. And regarding seeing stock on shelves being good or bad, it depends on what the supply was. If Sony sends 20 PS4's to Walmart B and MS sends 45 to the same store and after 2 days the PS4's are gone and there are 10 Xbones left, not only is the demand higher for the console still in stock but it's sold more units. And even if demand isn't higher and PS4 sold all 20 while Xbone only sold 15 in that same time, if both are sold out in 2 weeks of that shipment and are resupplied, PS4 had higher demand yet still sold less consoles.
Not saying the Xbone vs PS4 sales/supply are going anything like that but jeebus, the weight people put into seeing a random PS4 or Xbone at some Walmart or Best Buy is just hilarious.
