Protip: Personal attacks is a quick way to get banned.

I checked Amazon earlier and they were sold out. So demand for X1 is still pretty good.

We're all so desperate to see who comes out on top, or who has the edge, that we're now resorting to CSPM (consoles sold per minute).

Can I get a face palm?

12,000 in 27 minutes is equal to an average of 444 a minute. Xbox One was selling 1,000 a minute on Amazon at peak demand according to Microsoft. As for why the Xbox One was still available after 3 hours while the PS4 quickly sold out, it's because the Xbox One has been restocked multiple times at multiple online retailers this week, PS4 has seen very few restocks in comparison, so of course the PS4 was going to sell out faster on Amazon when it was restocked. Both systems are obviously doing quite well. Week 4 Xbox One/week 5 PS4 sales should be strong for both consoles.

Average is different then peak. 444 a min for a 27 min period anyone of those 27 min could have peaked higher than 1000

Of course, and since Microsoft didn't give any sales over a length of time measurements, there's no way to directly compare the two. My point is that there is plenty of demand for both, but the Xbox One has been restocked more often, since Sunday, the first day of this week's sales, the Xbox One has been restocked on Amazon at least 3 times, and it's also been restocked at Toys R Us (both in stores and online) and at Best Buy (online) at least once. So, it makes since that the PS4 would sell out faster on Amazon than the Xbox One did, because the Xbox One has already been restocked their several times, so many of those waiting on an Xbox One already have one.

More resupplies does not mean more supply. Son has been using the dump in bulk method while MS has been spoon feeding to the market. 3 ships for MS could be 3k, 2k, and 4k. While we know Sony dropped 12k. Fact is you know if MS sold more total they would have told us by now. There has been a good deal of oneupmanship in the PR game so far.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

'Tis the season after all. I've yet to see either console actually on store shelves during the day, and I've been to my local Walmart, Target and Best Buy numerous times since they launched a month ago.

For comparison sake:

The wii u sold a total of 1 unit in the month of December in amazon. The elderly lady who bought the wii u was trying to buy the all new “wii vibrate yo pussy" but she mistakingly bought a wii u instead.

If you don't know what a “wii vibrate yo pussy" is than just ask nikkom. He probably has like 20 of them.

Sources: Me because I work at McDonalds even thoe that has nothing to do with amazon...

i can confrim all this info. this is 100% correct TRUTHFACT
