How do people make these posts?

I always have a bit of a laugh at how some people react to hearing my voice online. It's like the Australian accent is a huge novelty to them.
umm..just like you said right before you got banned last month right before Nov NPD's were released? Like this quote of you below in how you said we all would be in shock at Nov's NPD numbers because of your "expertise"...remember, right?
Australian accents are easy to the ears and also refreshing to my ears for some odd reason. I am American ..near Chicago ..i do a lot of online Christian Chat room discussions ...some of the Ausi peeps come on and share some thoughts on life, things,etc and i love having conversations with peeps from Australia because of their accents..and of course most of them i know are very down to earth people.

Target in Hooksett, NH has XB1's in stock.
I think the same here in Topeka KS was there today and they had a pretty big palette of X1s at customer service I hadn't seen before.
Best Buy at the least

Yeah, our store (Milwaukee area) was supposed to continually hold are Xbone's much like PS4 for Sunday releases but with online ordering we've moved most of them to the floor. Been in stock since Sunday, probably had 30-40 in. I expect most other stores to do the same
My store received the 2nd largest shipment we've gotten since launch yesterday & we have another truck this week, didn't see the manifest though so I don't know if that's it yet or what. Makes 70+ for a relatively smaller store. We've sold out prior to store open every time, if it happens again Sunday that would be insane. Especially in 20 degree weather

Lots of stores in GAME uk have PS4s for free-sale via bundles this week, usually north of £500.
cos they're a real classy establishment.

Console should have easily hit 3m by now. I expect an announcement any day now.

Looks like Best Buy got another large shipment of PS4s for the last Sunday before Christmas. My store got a large stack of them, must be like 60+ systems and several stores in our district got 100+.
Ones are being sold as is, no Sunday hoarding.

If anyone is on Southern Vancouver Island, the Walmart in Duncan BC had about seven Xbox One's when I was there last night. They had zero PS4's btw.

Was out doing some errands and Toys R Us in Miami had 16 Xbones in the case this afternoon, and then was at target in Peombroke Pines which had 2 Xbones also in stock in their case. Didn't see any PS4s
How many regions did MS launch the xbox1 in?

I think we need to wait for the quarterly shipment numbers before we start handing out production awards.

My brother saw this dude in Herald Square today.
So if you are in Manhattan, go there I guess?
The guy with the megaphone said "Don't just take a picture, buy an Xbox One and you can take pictures of it in your living room!"

Seems desperate. lol
I saw this at Hastings in Ft Smith, AR.
Is that a Day One Edition???
Looks like it.
I actually did something I can't believe I did, which was ask the local GameStop clerk what his stock situation was like. PS4s were OOS and they had Xbones. He said they get fewer PS4s, but not by too much, and they just vanish instantly. This was at Willowbrook Mall in NJ.
So for 299 you get a 320 Slim? And for 399 you get a PS4?
more like: you get a 299 slim or a 499 XBone. PS4s aren't there.
Well yeah, duh, but it's really striking what Sony is trying to do for the new generation.
And PS4s are out there.
Well they still are kinda supporting the PS3 still. Dont wanna drop the bomb too much.
They do offer a 199.99 version with something like an 8gig flashdrive or something.
Here's a close up. The bottom shelf did have 360's and Wii U's. I neglected to get them in the frame due to a lack of concern about Nintendo.
I keep thinking that this is a return.
Ask them to pull it out and check to see if the clear plastic tab is busted or been peeled back. Should be easy to tell since the tabs usually tear the box somewhat even it was completely replaced.
Edit: They could have also had one as a preorder and somebody never came and got it and they forgot they had it for awhile.

Well, I dunno anything about USA, but about France I do, so I'll talk about that.
In France yesterday I've been to 2 shops (I know the boss of those 2 shops), and they both told me that they received order to not sell PS4 before the 23/24 (Monday/Tuesday), to generate envy end the feeling of "need" to people, and instant buy on the 23/24 when people will go to buy their last Xmas gifts, like "omg a PS4!! it's pretty rare those days, I take one.. no two!". I saw the intranet email of one of those shops, and I've seen the stock (they had plenty of PS4s), so I can confirm that it's true.
For the 2nd shop, they received the same order (I haven't seen email or anything at this shop, but they told me so), but they refuse to obey and just sell the PS4s they have, and that's true they had PS4s to sell.
About MS: it depends, at some shop they have XOs, at other shops they don't, but if really you want to buy one, you can easilly find one I think. And the 2 shops I talked about told me that MS didn't give any order to "control" the stock, you have XOs, you sell them as much as you can.

Ps4s are there. Most stores just don't put them out on the floor. My Walmart has them all the time but the electronics guy says they keep them in the back so word doesn't get out and there is a mob.
Any way there should be plenty out today at Bestbuy.

I knew someone who worked as a rep for Nintendo from 2005 to 2008. She said that Nintendo did the same thing to elevate the demand for the Wii. They would always have a stock pile of Wii's in their warehouses but would only ship a few sporadically to different stores in different countries.

Scalpers have been returning it because it's been a hard sell, literally.

This is what I was thinking: Someone could have bought it, only to discover later that the cross-platform games look better on the PS4. And he returned it out of spite.
There's a lot of Xbox fanboy's out there that are shocked when they hear this in the break-room. I've witnessed one myself. Right now, he's lost faith in the gaming industry as a whole.
