amazon.de is a great indicator, bright future ahead


For Germany it *is* big and a great indicator. Especially bigger than any social media hype.

What's up with your point? Of course this doesn't tell anything more than hype in Germany.


No is not, amazon (any country) is never an accurate indicator and just look at the number 2 spot there.

Weird that people are pre-ordering now since there really is no way to ensure they will get it. The price is a place holder that is likely to drop. There isn't even any guarantee it will come out this year. Microsoft doesn't even know how many they'll have available yet.

In the reveal presentation, they announced that it would be available later this year.

There are no guarantees. The majority of stock will be reserved for the US then the UK. The larger markets take priority.

There are still so many unsolved mysteries with ps4, still people preordered iirc.

Fixed my comment.

My God people are being incredibly irrational about this new Xbox.

Maybe by the end of the week all the annoying people will be banned and we can get back to having decent discussion again.

 

Also: 

:P

Why you guys will buy it? No used games without pay. No Xbox360 games. Internet connection must every 24hour. And it is even weaker than PS4. And its not really even game console anymore.


Because its made by Microsoft.

You know that your arguments are just ...weird?
Yeah, it MIGHT happen that the Xbox One suddenly won't be released this year. It might happen a space ship with Elvis on board crashes in the white house.

And in case there actually ARE shortages in smaller markets of the world, you still ask yourself why people preorder the console. The answer is, because their might be shortages. Crazy, huh?



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

You know he's right.

Amazon, especially amazon.de is hardly a good indicator of things to come. Almost everything that's just added or about to release shoots up to the top to stay there for a couple of days. Now if it managed to stay up there till the console's release i would actually be impressed.
