It is not another product... it is a "Consórcio".
Gamestop is offering a pre-reserve of the console while the buyer pay (example) $100 per month... when he paid the full price of the console (in five months) he gets the console.
The difference in "Consórcio" here is that you can be raffled to pick up the product before to fully pay it.
You need to have a lot of units in stock to hold it for some months to a specific customer... PS4 is close to SOLD OUT so they can't reserve a unit to anybody.
In popular words... Gamestop is creating programs to people that didn't have the money buy a Xbone because they are not selling the amount of stock they received.
