It's certainly possible. They announced the US numbers on a Sunday, so that may be what we see here.

I would just go hide one in store so it fucked there inventory check all day long and people would come in non stop asking if they had it in stock while holding the phone and showing them its in stock online.

In the full video he manages to hold on to one.

How stupid are the people who manage these stores? Are the stores not liable if someone trips, falls and really hurts themselves?

Here in the US, we had barricades and uniformed police patrolling the parking lots in front of Best Buy's and Targets last night.

Blame the human beings for acting like this. Some of the blame also falls on the store owners. You know how much stock you have. The doors are closed before the sales start. Introduce a ticketing system. Have lines. Avoid all of this chaos.

I don't remember camera phones being nearly as common back then either. this is why I ordered on Amazon. it meant I got my system 16 hours after midnight, but hey, guess what I had a good nights sleep and a fun day. went out for crepes with my wife in the morning and spent the afternoon playing Burnout 3 with a friend of mine as we waited for the truck to show up.

I didn't have to fight off hordes of crazy people.

Ahh :)

Well there were many older people in the first 2-3 rows in front of the gate wanting to get consoles for their children (christmas). Most of them gave up as soon as they opened.

Seeing myself in this video, I'm lucky getting out there almost not hurt and with a PS4.

I'm up for 25 hours already so see you guys tomorrow :)

I walked into 6 stores 2-3 days ago checking out how many PS4's will be in stock, and 5 of them still had a couple of Xbox One's sitting there. So, most likely not, or at least in a MUCH smaller scale.

Given this setup what is stopping the kids who didn't get a PS4 snatching one away from those who got one? I'm guessing at least one or two must have even tried doing so.

Likely, incompetence from the store managers and staff probably makes it a moot point. They'll still get run over no matter what, unless enforcement is onsite.

Holy shit man he got Giga Impacted. So I'm not sure what's stopping people from running without paying, these stores need all the help they can get inside.

So this is a universal human problem, since they are acting exactly like the Black Friday shoppers in the US.

I could not stop trying to follow him with my eyes. It's like he got there first, but panicked lol.

I'm convinced he died.
