Forums - Gaming - I don't think PS4 demand is as high as we are lead to believe.

Anybody buying any next gen console on ebay at this point is stupid. Xbox Ones are available right now online and PS4s pop up everyday.

eBay is not a reliable scale to measure a console demand.

"One month after the release, people prefer to wait for supplies coming every week   instead of buying an overpriced PS4 on ebay, conclusion :  there is no more huge demand. "

Genius thread, genius.

 

 

Haters seem really desperate nowadays.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

There might be those million (I hightly doubt it) people who Preordered.

I wouldnt go out and buy a console if I had one Pre-ordered and I doubt most people would.

Wal Mart's website for check in store availability has said PS4's were in stock for over half the locations around here since yesterday. (at least 8 or 10 stores showing green and 1 or 2 showing limited available). I live in a metro area in the west with about 1 million ppl.


there website is never accurate. It might say that,but when you go to the store there's nothing there. It might be true in your area,but that's not the case in mine. lol

You know why its inaccurate? Because its sloe as hell updating. I just checked in my area and the stock locator last updated midnight sunday

No PS4 at the Target and K-Mart in my area today. While there were a couple xbox ones at those stores. I am wondering if there is a chance Microsoft is manufacturing consoles quicker? Or maybe they are allocating more of them to the U.S.?


The latter.  Plus, ps4 is spread out between 40 some odd countries right now and the x1 is only shipping to 13...

just closed at 570. That was the first one I looked at.


OP will be IMPRESSED!

Its impressive because so many on ebay are struggling to do the same.

Looking at ebay again I see many ending and struggling to get beyond $450, most end under $500. After costs like shipping, ebay fees, and paypal fees there isn't much if any profit for the seller. Basically, a waste of time.

I went to visit a friend that's recovering from a spinal surgery.

Very true.  It is showing that there is stock in my area, yet I went to my local Wal-Mart just last night and there were none.  I guess it should just be noted, don't go by their site, make sure you call ahead to make sure they actually have stock.
