Here is my little anecdote.
My brother and I have always been gamers since the first time we played a PC game and later got the original Nintendo Entertainment System. We have always enjoyed the same types of games, same consoles and so on. We were both huge fans of Sony consoles and PC gaming. This all changed when our preferences split during the PS3/Xbox360 era of gaming. I stayed a serious PC gamer who enjoyed the PS3 exclusives while he shifted entirely to Xbox360 and practically shunned the PC and his Playstation heritage. Side note: he had gone through 5 Xbox360's while my OG 60GB PS3 is still kicking strong, I always use this argument with him ad when talking about the superior PS3, we are natural rivals I am not a fanboy, just a fan.
I was looking at the sales figures and noting how again how Xbox Ones are available pretty much everywhere under the sun and even under some rocks now and this made me think of my poor brother. He hosted Thanksgiving this year at his house and of course had to show off his brand new Xbox One and how cool it was to use Voice Commands through Kinnect (which did not work well). Then he bragged about how he had a cool DayOne edition and then pointed over to a second Xbox One that he purchase to sell later for profit. He was oh so very gleeful at the prospect of his goldmine in a green box.
Well, my poor brother, he still has his goldmine in a green box sitting in the same corner collecting dust while plays his DayOne edition. Unless something changes in the market and Xbox Ones supply becomes extremely strained again, my poor brother will be stuck without his profits. Let's all give a moment of silence for his loss.

So either:
1. By your "brother", you mean the other half of your personality.
or
2. Your "brother" doesn't exist.

So personal attacks are how people retaliate when they feel offended? What he says makes perfect sense. Where I live PS4's STILL cannot be found and Xbox Ones are easy to find in stores. Xbox Ones and Wii U's are the most available consoles of the next gen consoles out right now. If his brother was going to sell it he should've sold his Xboxes within the first two weeks of launch, otherwise it was pointless. I guess he was expecting the Xbox One to be more popular than it was.

Wasn't a personal attack, I just think it was a round about way for the OP to basically post what you just said above. The story doesn't even make sense to me as some have pointed out, so basically he used a story [that almost sounds fabricated] to call his "brother" an Xbox fanboy. And THAT's what we need on VGC. ANOTHER thread about the PS4 is in higher demand, harder to find blah blah. Fanboy this fanboy that.
Take it from a reseller (of ANYTHING I can buy and sell, including consoles) who has zero personal attachment to any of the consoles. The resller market looks like this.
PS4. Break even to little profit (Craigslist in some areas, but not Cleveland)
Xbox One. Lose money (or return if you still have the receipt).
