If someone doesn't pre order then that means there is no demand? 

dat logic...

Also that does not answer my question: Why would someone pre order when they can walk into the store and buy it? 

This isn't a launch of a new console. 

Do you even know how supply/demand works? Watch dogs had big pre-order numbers guess what...it had big sales. Hardware is the same it is an indication of demand, the ps4 has mroe demand then the 399 X1...that says it all, the 399 sku is less value then in march with all the discounts, Titanfall for free.....How will you spin this when ps4 wins every month after the price drop?

?

We've already covered this. Preorders are indicative of Anticipated demand, not actual demand. The correlation is with Hype.

The Kinectless-Sku will either flop or face supply issues, but right now we can't really tell.
