man how can people be so fickle, decide to buy a 400 dollar thing they don't know about because a bunch of people are? must have deep pockets.


They all are pretty wealthy from what I can tell. Like I said, most are from a Military background so they have disposable incomes. Even the kids have credit cards so....yea, draw your own conclusions lol.

Did anyone get robbed for a PS4?


The Police were notified of launch so they were never too far. We encouraged everyone to take their consoles directly to the car, and most traveled in a group of some sort.

Its also a generally good neighborhood, expensive houses and mansions around. Criminals know better than to rob anyone around their, they are likely to get shot by a soccer mom.

You run a good store, most I see don't even warn people and someone who couldn't get a PS4 could end up being robbed.



What about the games?!

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Thank you. Really an interesting read. PS4 is almost like the complete opposite of PS3 launch.


...almost?!?



Interesting to hear how it went for your store. Congrats on a quality launch!



It is near the end of the end....

Sounds like complete BS to me.

How can poeple who didn't even preorder the console just decide to drop whatever they are doing and jump in line for something they;

A) had no intent of buying.
B) Made no provisions for buying (nobody buys a £$400 console out of the blue, just like nobody jumps in line to buy the next iphone when they see a qeu forming outside the apple store)
C) Stores should honor whatever limited stock they have for people who actually preordered the console...

A guy at my job left work at 3:30pm on Thursday and went to Bestbuy to wait in line. They had a line for people who preordered and a second line filled with people who did not. Out of (50) or so in the non-preorder line all but (15) got one.

 

Is it that hard to picture people waiting in line at a product launch? Not everyone preorders. Also, with 1M or more already being sold you find this hard to believe? It is obviously in VERY HIGH demand.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
