Not sure but all our retailers are advertising availability and are in stock (and i mean all - not only gaming centric retailers). Based on what I'm seeing I should be able to walk into a store throughout November and buy one at will. No idea about numbers, in the global scheme of things obviously our country is insignificant but still a decent market for MS. PS5 at this point its not even possible to pre-order, and hasnt been since the first few hours pre-orders were initially announced. Its actually quite crazy given the huge price these consoles are going for in our country - close to $800. In terms of where our market lies, I would say we are similar to that of Europe so there is a PS bias although X360 did quite well here. I mentioned this in another thread, either Sony completely fucked up their supply or MS are going to be brutally outsold. I really feel this is a missed chance by MS, I would have bit the bullet already and bought the Sereis X along with a new TV if they had something like Hellblade 2 or Fable release with the console. |
Yeah, MS really should have focused all of their stock in their strongest markets. I don't know how many units were sent to South Africa but I'm sure those units wouldn't have been sitting on a shelf if they had been sent to US or UK.
