Short term, yes. But it does have long term implications.

Break into houses until you find one under an XMAS tree.

They're not even that hard to find...
No international shipping. Bastard!

OK...
It won't happen. As long as it's in demand, the worst he could achieve would be breaking even on his remaining stock. If ebay fees make it a loss for him, he'll just pursue other avenues like craigslist.

Quoting for a new page in hopes of getting an non-sarcastic answer
Well doubt anyone cares but might at as well mention that Lebanon is out of stock. They are receiving their next shipment January 15. Bundle is a PS4 with a extra DS4 and Killzone for 730 USD. You have to preorder it from Sony world thought. Dubai's duty free had stock however they sold out.
That's because MS mastered US supply stream logistics. Nice and steady sales. No crazy lines and panic. This is how you win December NPD.

My answer wasn't sarcastic at all, it is realistic. Big stores are saving their stock for Sunday sales so they can advertise them. I guess you could get lucky at a Gamestop or some store not running a Sunday ad but I would call them first to see if they are expecting a shipment.
If you can wait until Sunday, then line up in front of a Best Buy early. Again, call the day before and make sure they are going to have stock before you bother.
yup ,this is a marathon not a sprint
Im sure that was of great comfort to MS and Sony when the Wii was kicking their asses.

Ps4 is like tortoise with rocket boosters.

Remember that Xbox One only launched in 13 countries whereas PS4 launched in 32.

Can't even tell if this is trolling.
And you equate that to supply shortages instead of insane PS4 demand because...?
Mostly due to the combination of Sony launching in more territories as well as personal accounts such as in this thread where people are having trouble finding a PS4 out in the wild.
Of course I think it is because of higher demand as you said, but we won't really know until numbers get out.

To that point Amazon received 12,000 PS4's in last week and they were gone in 27 minutes.

Thank you! Had a cousin that wanted one. Gonna see if they can get it now.
It's not.
TBH after eBay/Paypal fee he won't make much money. Plus you gotta deal with 0 feedback trolls on eBay.

I think you are either missing the point of my comment or trolling. You previously said MS mastered supply stream logistics. This is simple supply and demand, Sony is currently serving 48 countries where as MS is currently serving 13, Sony is simply having to meet larger demand in more countries which is why it is harder to find.

Oh hey! You're back!
You were in my thoughts, when I read that PS4 was the top console of November NPD <3

Mine as well, that must've been a bitter one. The salt mines that will appear if PS4 is on top in December as well...
Microsoft would probably take the hit and buy all the leftover Xbox Ones on retail shelves just to boost numbers. =P

Indeed. We should all cut MS some slack. I've never even met someone who spoke Switzer; it can't be easy for them to find a translator.
A lot of people are seeing XB1's in Targets and Walmarts, which aren't empty boxes.
Best Buy and Gamestop have empty PS4 boxes too, but we don't hear anyone saying they think they saw a bunch of PS4's on shelves.
Face it, XBO is not as hot an item this Christmas.

I microwave steaks.
All he needs to do is just return the console, especially since there is a longer return window due to holidays. He's not going to get screwed either way.

Voice recognition only works in 5 countries (corrent me if I'm wrong...). Why did they launch in those other 8 then?
Just chiming in to say good point, I didn't consider until now that it may not be the matter of Xbone vs. PS4 supply, but rather Xbone vs. PS4 demand in which case PS4 is still a very hot item while Xbone is less so.
No, they didn't.
Check the purchase history. All of those people with zero feedback? Trolls.
He'll have to put those up again.
That's weird but ok haha. December NPD thread will be much more fun. 30 days of sales for each console. Plus it will shed some light on supply and demand.

Not all true 13 have Kinect voice support. Just 6 languages enough to cover all of them.
Just like 360. 16 regional languages but actually 7 languages.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but we are not talking about language support, we are talking about next gen console supplies and why there appears to be more XB1's available than PS4's and I believe it quite simply comes down to Sony is producing PS4's for almost 4 times as many countries than MS. Which equals more demand.

It's a supply issue if Microsoft can't keep supply in every country they launched in, which is true. Just because they're somewhat keeping up with supply in the US doesn't mean they are everywhere else.
Ha! The prices there are not as bad as I thought. Thanks!
I know! Such a rip off!
You thought November NPD thread would be fun too, let's dial back the assumption that MS is going to win no matter what.

My best friend, biggest PS fanboy I personally know, bought an Xbone just yesterday at his local Walmart (they had 2 left, he got one of them, this is his very first Xbox console he ever owned) because he didn't want to have to wait to find a PS4 (plus he gets to play online with me now).
So you saying NO ONE is getting a Xbone because they can't find PS4's is not totally true, especially the people out there who know there gonna end up getting both consoles anyway.
