Recon1O1 said: You might want to stop quoting that 2.3m figure. The original quotes from Gamestop on the 5 sites I checked have all been edited to clearly say that number included both consoles. Ars Technica's edit includes the word 'supplies' in the header now. So GS were, as usual overstating the case by including at least all inquiries about both consoles and accessories in the total. I doubt they meant software. Games aren't console supplies. GS still have more PS4 fans on their wait lists according to anecdotal evidence from a couple of sources I've seen but it's definitely not 2.3m. Besides some of those people will find PS4's elsewhere or buy something else. PCs, WiiUs, X1s, Etch-a-Sketches. Or nothing at all. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/11/gamestop-2-3-million-people-still-waiting-for-a-ps4/ Not completely the OPs fault. Lousy journaliism across the board. Even the url still says PS4. |
This is the original quote from the conference call.
"In addition to selling through all of our reservations and some additional allocation we've received from Sony, we still have over 2.3 million customers on the first to know list which indicates continued demand for months to come."
I don't know why the sites changed to include the Xbone but this part in conference call was about Sony and PS4 only.
