Ah. My bad. I guess I hadn't noticed until it jumped up to #2 best seller on Amazon today.

It's still selling better than any console on Amazon right now; it just seems like console sales are relatively dead since BF.

Isn't it the only one in stock on Amazon right now? Actually, looking now it is indeed the only one of them that's in stock.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I think only bundles are in stock now.

All consoles seem to be in stock (no problem adding to cart) when I check Amazon, but the PS4 Slim is at $295 instead of the $199 price that should be good for a a few more days...

If the price is not the sale price, it is not in stock.

Those are reseller markups.

My store (Not Best Buy) is completely sold out of PS4 Slim's and Xbox One S's. We have a pretty fat stack of Switches left, though.

Interesting, but anecdotal and also missing the X1S.

Yeah I know lol. Wanted to be apart of the anecdotal crusade. The S's pallet was behind the X's and that one looked much like the Pros.

Actually, what he’s saying isn’t crazy. An insider on resetera said exactly that—that Sony likely had a set/limited amount of consoles they were willing to sell at the $199 price point, and that’s why they didn’t ship more. 
DonFerrari said:

Considering they put only a specific model at discount for BF, what is preposterous about thinking they only planned to sell a specific amount of that model?

This was on Kerotan account, because I made same that point (that they probably only want to sell a certain amount at that price point) and than Intrinsic start arguing with me about that point, and than Kerotan reply to me that Intrinsic made valid point even Kerotan made same point like me earlier that day. :D

I see. My bad.

Looks like Microsoft is taking advantage of the sold-out PS4 over at Amazon today. They've priced the Xbox One S at $189 and it's currently at #2 on the best sellers list.

That is the risk when under supplying for this time of the year where gifts will be bought.

Seems like PS4 will need more stock for CM, but X1 have a decent amount waiting to be sold.
