That's stupid if people actually think that way.

Explain. Tell me how anyone would want to buy an Xbone if they saw that stack. If there was one or two consoles on the shelf, I would be more inclined to want to snag one up, before they sell out. I wouldn't know there are 100 or so in the back.

Do you want an one now or do you want one later? If you want one now, more power to you. You can go to the stack and pick one up. You want one later? Well, in discussions about supply and demand, you talk about the present, not the future. If people aren't buying them now (either because they don't one one or believe they can buy it later because there's plenty of stock) then demand is low.

Video game consoles aren't something you impulse buy. You don't just randomly spend $4-500. You go into the store prepared to buy that item. If I went into Best Buy wanting an XBone, I'd be buying an XBone, whether I saw 1 on the shelf or 1,000.

I've randomly spend that much on a game system,when I did'nt plan on doing so. I've randomly spent that much money on other things 2. lol

Was the basis for you buying these items because you thought they were gonna sell out. If it was as random as you're making it out to be, I doubt supply issues was why you bought it, and rather you did it for the hell of it.
