I think it would be significant for the industry because we've never seen a piece of hardware priced this high sell in some of the quantities you're talking about. 700k in a week or something for game console that expensive is fairly significant, we saw with the PS3, Sony absolutely collapsed under the weight of trying to sell a $500/$600 console. 

If MS can move a significant number of consoles at that price point I think it shows they have a pretty impressive ability to sell in this business. 

@BenVTrigger
you mentioned that XOne demand seems higher what makes u think that?

Oh no.

These consoles are selling so much day one because of the modern economy. Even the Wii U was 400k I think. Comparing gen to gen numbers is silly. You can relatively compare though, in which the $600 PS3 had a better launch than the $400 360.

Your right about the X1 numbers i was misinformed, we have 30-33 X1s and only 22 were preordered so theres less like 10 or less unpreordered ones.

We did tho get 60 PS4s.

I dont gain anything from lying to you I spent years lurking this forum man lol I was just giving info on what was going on with my target cause it was actually something i can talk about.

That sounds about right. I just left work though so i cant double check. 

The Target here had about 20 preordered Xbox One's and 12 PS4s according to the guy in electronics when I asked him a few weeks ago.

Well I went to my target at opening 8AM, I saw they had about ten black Xbox's on one side and about 15 green ones on the other behind the electronics counter.

This fits with what the guy on phone told me. The black ones were the 10 preordered ones, and ~15 green were first come first served (the phone guy told me 6, so obviously they did get another shipment as he suggested).

Only about 4 people were lined up to get Xbox, so they had ten+ readily available to anybody who walked in when I left.

Good thing you didnt post in this thread before the x1 launched so i could have easily called you out like 2 other people. No store that i have seen recieved more than 18. And trust me, ive checked large populated stores

The exact same content was already posted by another account. Now this poster logs in and this is his first post?

Also, the last time I looked at it, it didn't seem to make sense. It still doesn't.  It's a copy/paste job.

PS4: 108+25 = 133 not 137

Xbone: 97+45 = 142

well the one i was at got at least 25 and thats fact. if you say it isn't it wont change that.

mind you it was the ten preorder-15 green thing.

hell i coulda took a picture, though i probably would have felt too stupid lol.
