Forums - Sales - German etailer complains about low Xbox One supply, Sony delivers 450x more PS4s

Wow even copied the thread title 1:1. Fixing the title of a source is not forbidden :D

I'll also repeat what I said in the NeoGAF thread:

spielegrotte.de isn't a "fairly large" retailer by any definition. They are a small - medium online shop which people mostly use to buy imported Uncut games.

2 XBone's and 900 PS4's then. Not a bad lead at all.

1.000 Xbone preordered per OP...

SO they will sell 450.000 PS4 just there...

PS4 100 Million day one confirmed.

No, it reached at least 100 in 5 minutes but he said they will get supply for the orders they got in the first 35 seconds.

So around 29 or 30 Xbox Ones vs. 13500 PS4s? Still sounds absolutely crazy to me, lol, and it can't possibly be true. He surely means 30 vs. 480

Nah, he wrote: ungefähr 450 mal soviel Konsolen

If he wanted to say 450 more he'd have written: ungefähr 450 Konsolen mehr

That's not really a mistake you make easily



I live in Germany, and never even heard of Spielegrotte. I guess they gave retailers like Saturn, Media Markt, Gamestop and Amazon the vast majority of Ones.

This kind of difference is almost like in the other post when evaluating BK bag to common folks (common folks are 450x bigger).

I thought etailer was like "e-tailer", lingo for online retailer?

Pardon me if it is english e-lingo, but "e-tailer" definitely isn't German lingo. Writing it out as e-tailer definitely makes more sense than etailer, though. :D

Ja, Spielegrotte wird ganz sicher ca. 14k PS4s als Vorbestellung verkauft haben.

Welcome to the internet. A small retailer with one (1  !!!!) retail shop writes a newsletter and everybody starts to go mad about it.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

14000 is natürlich Blödsinn, aber was glaubst du denn wieviele X1s realistisch in 35 sekunden bestellt wurden? 5 bis 10? Selbst dann kommen wir noch auf weit über 1000 PS4s.

Ist doch eh Banane, wenn die Anzahl der Vorbestellungen gleich sind. Ich denke, Spielegrotte wird von beiden max. 1000 Konsolen verkaufen. Mark neigt zum Übertreiben, also nehm ich das sowieso nicht für bare Münze. Pezus geht aber drauf ab.

Der einzige Unterschied ist wohl, dass er mehr Konsolen von MS zum Verkaufen will und derzeit keine bekommt, weil Metro erstmal bedient wird und das nervt ihn wohl hart.

Actually, I don't know why I said 29 or 30 in my previous post. It's actually 10-12 or so. Which means he'll get maybe 4500 PS4s? Still crazy, but less so.

With the big boys like Amazon and Saturn/MediaMarkt probably getting at least 100k each Day-1, 4.5k doesn't sound too crazy for a medium-sizen online shop like spielegrotte.

While I'd appreciate you two to comment in English, you do know there's a thing called Google Translate, right?

If they mispell one thing the entire thing goes off

For example the following sentence: Pezus geht aber drauf ab.

Was translated as, Pezus but it HAPPENING.
