Forums - Sales - Best Buy PR: “We’ve Sold Many More PS4's Than Xbox One’s”

Man I just checked Bestbuy.com's bestsellers in videogames. Xbox One is in stock and on page 3....that's pretty sad. PS4 is sold out of course. Wanna know what's number 1? The Mario & Luigi Wii U bundle :P


The Mario Bundle at Gamestop.com is at #2 and has been in the top 8 for a week now and is currently sold out.  They just dropped the Skylanders bundle to $275 so I think gamestop really wants rid of them to make room for the Mario Bundles.   Target.com is sold out of all 3 and BestBuy.com is sold out of every console except for the Mario one.   Wii U is going to have a really solid December, and if all it took was 1 Mario Game and 1 good bundle, then its pretty clear to me that once everything else is out, it is going to sell much better.  

Hopefully that's the case.

If Sony supply US with enough consoles they will win NPD December too.

Demand is out of proportions for this console.

Good for BB, seems the Sony supply issues is only for Amazon, WalMart, Target and Game Stop.

Edit: just read the full article. BB has problems with supply also. For the price alone Sony could have wiped out XOne this Hollydays in US.

Walmart said they will receive the biggest shipment yet this week... bigget than the launch shipment for them.

We will see the true potential of this console when Sony finally takes care of supply. Around march 2014 i think.

If I'm reading this right, this about sales at one store in Richmond, MN, right?

I thought we were treating anecdotal reports as anecdotal reports?

I know where I work the 2 ps4 we got after initial shipment sold within 2 hours (only got 2 of them, but still they both sold) came back to work the next day and of the 3 xbox ones we got in, there were still 3 sitting there. it took over 36 hours before we sold one. and 1 week later we've only sold 1 more. We have easily sold more Wii U's in the last week.

No, guys! It's just a random employee at a one store. It's just anecdotal! Just because one store has stock (and a lot of it) doesn't mean that available anywhere else!

^arguments I heard when debating if the XBone was sold out when it clearly wasn't



silentdj151 on 13 December 2013

eh...fan boy posting...the employee for BB is stating his opinion his doesn't have any empirical data to support his claim nor is he allowed to release sales data...plus its just bb...I don't shop at big box stores anymore except for occasionally at walmart because they have best deals of the big box stores and come closest to online prices.

THE PS4 and XB1 here in the USA will probably have less then 1-2%(+or-) margin WW will probably be more like 3-4%(+or-) but then again that is just prediction no one can tell the future...sales trends change greatly after the holidays.

EH once again

Wow X1 is on the front page of bestseller now and still not sold out. Must have been a massive shipment.

Microsoft needs to drop the price to $399 at E3. They won't drop it before Titanfall because that game will sell consoles even at $499. If they drop the price to $399 at E3 combined with Halo in the fall then it will be a good battle next holiday.
