BenV can you comment on the preorders though? Like hows the numbers looking for Xbone and PS4?


Sony is going to have quite the holiday.

MS will be successful as well........if supply allows.


It's really all you had to say to me: Supply issues are the reasoning as to why pre-orders are being declined/system is taken out of the system. But again, would make sense if all brick and mortar stores would stop taking pre-orders, when clearly some aren't (for example the North Haven store I gave you.).



It's just that simple.

So it's a supply issue?

They may supply issues or the preorders may be much higher than anyone thinks...in any case, I got to preorder mine today. Best Buy, WalMart, anyone?

Yes. Yes he is. He knows what he's talking about


Then he might want to tell specific store in North Haven, CT to stop taking pre-orders amongst others.

 

Edit: Shortening quote tree.

I think it's more a district thing though, maybe some areas have yet to catch up?

I'll be honest, I have no idea what's going on.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Some of the rumors you have heard are correct.

Supply between the two consoles differs.

Microsoft to open 605 stores inside branches of best buy. That's why. GameStop will get less supply than ever.

Either way It's good news for MS (or is it?) if Gamestop can't keep up with the pre-order pace. I wonder if eBay will get Wii/PS3 level this holiday season. I recall my friends selling Wii's for 4x the price at launch. Re-selling was fun as hell for them.

When GameStop marketshare by percentage is the largest its ever been?

Sounds like an interesting strategy.

Thanks @Ben... that all I wanted to know.

 

Smeels like production issues... yields again.

I cam confirm.

If you go into a store to pre order X1 you currently cant do it.


I asked another store and they are taking them.

Gamestop is selling out of pre-orders, this has nothing to do with Gamestop declining sales.

 

Looks like this system is gonna be a hot eBay commodity come the holidays.

I dont think you want to argue with me whether we are taking pre orders or not.

Again I wont comment why, but but this is true.


i know you won't answer this but...

...is it for some reason other than the pre-orders are sold out?   sold out is the only reason i can think of that wouldn't freak me the hell out.  o.O
