I work at a Target that's super busy on Black Friday (#1 on the North East last night) and we thought Sony was crazy sending us 300 PS4s...they were gone in less than 6 hours.

For those asking about Switches, we got 170 and we currently have about half of them left.

That’s insane. Wondering the same things I asked fattydingdong.

Can you compare these PS4 numbers to:

1. How many ps4s your Target received AND sold through in the same time frame for Black Friday 2016 (or rather, the Thursday prior)?

2. The stock quantity and sell through for XBO yesterday at your Target? 

1. I don't remember the exact numbers from last year. But we had less than 200 PS4s last year and we didn't sell out of them as of the end of business Friday.

 

2. We had 70 of the $189 Xbox Ones and then another 40 or so various bundles and such. We sold about 90 in total with all of the $189 bundles going last night and the rest were various bundles.

 

Like I said, we have no idea why the PS4 is selling so well. It's been on sale since Sunday and we sold at least 80 of them between Sunday and Wednesday.
