Why is one system being in more demand make the other system bad?

They'll be released tomorrow.
Doesn't make the other system bad. But it can give people the idea that maybe one is not as good as the other. That matters if said people can only choose one to buy.

We'll find out tomorrow what the situation is, if it has games you want I wouldn't question buying it even if it is on store shelves.

big question is when will the PS camera be available again? In Colombia all Sony stores say they'll receive shipments for both PS4 and accessories until march. :S

Who cares! Play the one you want!
So many great systems I would of missed out on with that mindset!
Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, PSP, Xbox, Gamecube, etc!

Well, if I saw a product going for $170 off less than two months after launch, I would definitely wonder why....
That being said, that's a great deal and anyone even mildly interested should jump on it.

Tomorrow at 6:30 EST.
My friend just posted this on facebook, I thought I'd share this on gaf:
In the comments section, he says he hasn't got a PS4 because the games to appeal to him yet, but I think this year when the games start flooding in, he will no doubt jump ship.
I wonder many others are having this frustration and sharing these rants with the average joe.

I have no doubt that bad word of mouth about that is spreading around, people hated the same thing about the PS3.My friend just posted this on facebook, I thought I'd share this on gaf:

Man there are some really good deals on Craigslists for XBOs.
Here is one for $440 sealed. Here is a $400 opened Day One.

Yep, some deals on CL are solid if you're in the market for an XBox One.
Hopefully by the time I jump in a few years down the road, there's a price drop, and some of the issues are ironed out.
Overall though, its not like MS's numbers are bad, especially compared to the Wii U's launch.

PS4 does it in the background?
PS4 install times are much faster since they don't install the full game.

Pretty much. You can generally get going within a few minutes of inserting the disc for the first time.
Initial install takes a minute but the patches can actually download while you play the game.

Awesome, that is one of my main issues with the PS3. Thanks for the replies.

Fantastic...what a departure from the shitty PS3 updates and load times. And seems like XB1 and PS4 traded places with regards to this as 360 used to be much better than PS3 with load times and installs. Man the way MS screwed up with XB1, would be a good case study for both tech and business schools lol

Just went to a local target. No PS4s, but the case of Xbox One's was full with green boxes and a lonely black launch edition. The clerk said people don't want to spend $100 more. Anecdotal, I know.
Yes, I agree that pre-order numbers would most likely be the main influence on shipping destinations from launch through the holidays.

Holy crap there is an open Day one edition xbox one for 300 near me on craigslist
I should buy it but I must be strong. Guy probably stole it anyways at that price
No I don't think that it's stolen. At that price you're probably gonna get robbed when you show up.
Honestly never enough opportunity to post highlander gifs sigh
360/XBone: Kurgan/Kruger
PS3: MacLeod/Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez
PS4: Nash
There can only be One Better.
Quoted for truth.
What? Macleod and Nash are the same person.

For those anywhere Charleston, WV, there were (not joking) at least 15 PS4's at the Target in Southridge yesterday. Same with XBO's. Clerk said they were all units, not display boxes. I was pretty shocked, as I hadn't seen that many of either system at one place since midnight of their respective launches.
But it's such a good deal!
Why must the internet want to kill me so much? :'(
If you want it, just tell the seller to meet you in a very public place, then you also bring a friend. If they refuse, then you have your answer.

Ah I could buy it now but I shouldn't. Bet I'm going to regret it when I actually buy it

I'm at my local Target. 6 XBones and 0 PS4s on the shelf. Dunno if they have more XBones in the back; the case is full.
Haha, just check CL again, I'm sure someone will be wanting to sell theirs at a decent price. I ALWAYS meet a seller in public when dealing on CL, tho. Too many weirdos out there, and I don't want to meet some skin suit-wearing psycho in a sketchy area.
Exactly. Same company, different experience.

Yep I only try to meet people wearing skin suits in starbucks and mcdonalds
Much harder to kidnap me there
I'll have to remember to look for some deals when I do want one
All right! Day over, and I managed to get updated pictures.
Here's the (lack of) PS4 Numbers.
Nothing district wide. The order numbers aren't even necessarily accurate, because they aren't in transit, and the most recent shipment they all received were well over 100 per store. DC for the area lists 124 units. 124! Gah. I know Sony is shipping them all over, but the demand through our stores is clearing us out immediately on availability.
Xbox One, updated from yesterday.
Sold about 10 district wide since the last photo I posted. The DC listing on another page is still around 6000 units.
So! Yeah. Again, the weekly sales numbers are not to be taken as gospel, or even sort of an actual metric of what the stores have sold... The use of that number is for adjustments, or End of Life/At Risk product... as in, if you haven't sold one in 3 months, and you have x product, how much needs to be sent back to the warehouse, etc.
One of the other guys was talking about how their DC system works, and ours is similar, the numbers in that screen are not used by our DC teams. They have their own internal metrics and reports that are far more accurate and reflect much more important divisions than our quick reference inventory system.
Cheers! Hope your weekends went well.
EDIT: I removed the original links, but I also edited the info on the original account to keep any identifying information from showing up. I'll make sure it's not an issue with any further info I post.
Am I reading this correctly? There's 0 Xbones being ordered?

That could be referring to orders from said warehouse, but if the stores are only selling 45/week across 13 stores, there's no big rush to pull from the warehouse either.

How do you confirm that the item is working though? You can't test out the console in a public place unless you bring a TV and have an electric plug available. Do you just have to trust the seller that it's working?

Not sure if this is the place to post, but my Best Buy just got 25 units today(my buddy works there). Not a huge shipment, but may mirror other BBs.

The guy that posted those pics said those weekly averages don't mean what you think they mean. Judging by their sales from last Sunday, the stores likely have enough stock to last nearly three months.
Plus, once they deplete the in-store stock, they have enough in the local distribution center to last an additional thirty months, give or take. So unless there's a surge in sales, it'll be almost three years before they need to order any more from MS.
Obviously, they'll send that unsold stock back to MS long before that.

Xbox One does the same thing. It's just that in some cases the game is limited -- and in all cases, updates are usually downloaded first. So FIFA, for example, would only let me play as Real Madrid vs Barcelona (I think) and fuck that. Battlefield 4 installed to playable status in like maybe 10 minutes, and I think the full thing was done was done in like 40.
Now, I'm pretty sure the PS4 lets you play in a matter of seconds, so it's still not as good. But the people saying it takes hours and hours probably have a crappy Internet connection and it's taking ages to download the patches.
And? i'ts stupid having to wait for a patch to download before you can play a game, fast or slow.

Finally...finally! Seen some ps4s in case at my local Meijers . They had 4 in case and 4 xbox ones in case. Zero ps4 accessories. Seen halfway in picture below they do have a dedicated case for ps4 games.
I know walmarts, last I seen as ive said elsewhere, doesn't even look like the ps4 is out...1 row of games shared within the ps3 titles..whilst the xbox one has its own designated showcase. May have changed since ive last been to walmart(try to stay away from em)
Aint seen the Ps4 cameras except at a gamestop....
EDIT: Got it

Is that a sale tag on KZ shadowfall indicating it was reduced from $59.99 to.... $59.99?
It doesn't really matter why though, if people are waiting, they're waiting.
Just make sure that the warranty tabs are intact and even if it's broken MS will replace, not Ideal but at least you're not totally screwed.
