That's how any statistics are made... from millions cases you use only few samples.

....

But you have to have a proper sample. This is not a proper sample it couldnt be further from it. we are talking about 10,000s of outlets. You are using hearsay from a few dozen. Complete and utter rubbish I am afraid and a waste of your and my time.

Lets wait for the official numbers shall we ? Or has someone actually got some proper concrete data on a decent enough scale to be worth consiering ?

None?

I know Amazon.uk are delaying a lot of preorder because received less units than MS promised too.

I agree lets wait till numbers come in so everyone can come back and apologize. Trust me, my sample size it good enough to talk about Target. Anything saying otherwise is just down playing or denial. I never made it anything more than just Target so I have no clue how you get 10k outlets. It's not even close. It isn't hearsay either.



wait wait does each version have a different code? would mean a shitload more in that case

Gamestop in local mall, CT

66 - Preordered PS4s
32 - Preordered X1s

I didn't go to the midnight launches so I don't how the lines were or how many extras they have in stock for non-preorders.

All of this is clutching at straws and completely pointless imo. You are looking at a handful of stores when NA and Europe for that matter are absolutely huge territories. We are talking about 10,000s of outlets here. Looking at handfuls is just ridiculous in the scheme of things you have no idea how much stock has been sent where overall.

What about online sales ? You have no idea. In UK online sales are 30% of the total market its absolutely huge I cant imagine its that much different in NA.

I will wait for the official numbers as what I have seen in this thread thus far is an exercise in futility.

All ive seen is damage control. Handfull of stores... i didnt know i had 100 hands.


Damage control by who though? 

@ethomaz are those verified or can anyone write that? 



No offence but Target is nothing in the scheme of things. You are looking at 10 target stores and saying its a sample. That`s a joke not a sample. Over here the supermarkets alone have thousands of stores most of which will get some stock so god know how many stores the likes of Wallmart, Best Buy, Gamestop etc have between them in the states. The UKs population is around a 5th of the states. I wouldnt even want to guess how many stores have been sent stock in NA, yet you roll of a handful of posts from randoms at the odd outlet and using that to guess how many consoles are available or have been sold. You are just guessing there is no data worth considering here.
