Once supply equals/exceeds store sell through things are going to get very interesting indeed, and I mean globally.
Think the US will be the most intressting, cause i dont think the Xbone stands a chance worldwide.

We know PS4 stock < demand and Xbox One stock > demand.
Not being an asshole, just trying to understand the feeling of wanting one system to sell while the other system doesn't?
Fanboys why do you all really care?? Serious question for both sides. Not being an asshole, just trying to understand the feeling of wanting one system to sell while the other system doesn't? I am trying to relate it to sports and competition but that doesn't quite work. Is it just a "I spent my 400-500 dollars on the more popular system and you didn't." Bragging right thing? I was also thinking that maybe it's the possibility that if your system doesn't sell then software developers will stop making product for your system. That sort of makes sense.
I don't know, I usually stay away from this side of gaf(although it was originally why I joined many years ago). Just curious.
In this case I'm still mad about the shit MS tried to pull with the always online, used game restrictions and their horrible attitude at the time. As far as I'm concerned they effectively were trying to ruin video games. I've been enjoying the trainwreck ever since. Does that make me a petty person? Maybe.

True. My GameStop in my area has Green posted all over the store. Everything is Xbox. They don't have a sign that obnoxious. Though I don't mind. It's just really heavy on the eyes.
Although I do not see myself as a fanboy (and if I were one then it'd be for pc ^^) I'd like to answer you. I can only speak for me personally - but I never want to see 24h check-ins and the like to return. The more success the xbox one has the higher the chance for this though...
Generally speaking I do not appreciate the influence MS has over gaming in general.
-MS introduced the ridicoulus concept of paying for mp (especially considering most of it was p2p).
-MS introduced the even more ridicoulus concept of paywalling content you are already paying for (see netflix)
-GFWL is(was) an abomination (thank god it's finally gone)
-MS pays for games to not be released on competitors platforms
-Forcing release date parity on indies
-and many more things about MSes corporate culture in general (look up "fud" for example)
I think it would be good for gaming in general if MS dropped out of the gaming industry making room for another competitor.

/nod Apparently, their policy of not announcing major exclusives hasn't been sufficient, and more drastic measures need to be taken.He said there will be an official statement soon where they will annouce draconian DRM measures and a price increase to get demand down to reasonable levels.

I don't any more. The Xbox will never get to the level where publishers stop putting titles on it, and even if the PS4 reaches PS2 levels of domination, I didn't actually think much of the PS2 and its library anyway. (That gen was all about the Xbox and GameCube for me.)
I have a PC and an Xbox for Microsoft exclusives like Killer Instinct and Halo. If Sony sells a billion units, it doesn't matter to me, because they still don't have games worth playing.

That last bit is just idiocy. If nothing interested you in the PS2/3's several-thousand-strong games library, I don't know. Maybe this is not a hobby for you.

I remember when I worked at GameStop on the 360 launch, shortly after the launch, we had to spend two days re configuring the store. At the time, Sony and Nintendo had the front two sides, with PC and MS in the back. Then, Sony got shoved to the back wall, with MS taking the entire front, with Nintendo in the middle.
Been that way ever since at my local GS, and at a lot of the other's according to this thread.
There are opinions and there is just being wrong. If you liked games but didn't like the ps2 library, you don't like gamesHe's entitled to his opinion. I thought the original xbox had the second worst library of all time, second only to the virtual boy.

Since when have employees at GameStop known anything about games?

How are you able to see into the future?
AHAHA!
For the record: I went to Italy for Christmas and there were TONS of xbones in every...single...store. Small and big.
I was lucky to pick up my PS4 at Media World, there were only a couple left with PS+ and NFS included.
Come on....the world know the truth.

Seems to be about same level of hate for ms from a lot of other people on the forum.
Guise, I want my favorite video game box to sell more than the other yucky video game box.
