Do you guys remember why we had to stop doing retail musings last generation?
Why in the world are you guys ordering so many Ones if they're not selling through?
What are the chances the wii u beats out xb1 for December?
Lol man don't do this to yourself.What are the chances the wii u beats out xb1 for December?

May be a big chain like gamestop places orders much in advance?
In Serbia and Hungary... PS4 sells out immediately [even with the higher price in Serbia, around ~470 for basic console] with preorder list going out to late january-february.
Xbone is not launched here yet. Importers have priced it around 540-580, and interest is very low.
When did PS4 launch in Serbia? Thought it was scheduled for 2014. May be the higher price is due to imports?
when I lived in Honolulu a couple of years ago there used to be a Sony repair center on Mapunapuna, right next to the Coca-Cola Bottling Co.
Well, gaming retail stores have managed to get a lot of consoles few days after EU launch, but official PS4 launch will arrive in late January/early February. Only then they will be able to provide consoles for vast majority of preorders. We expect pricing to remain the same. In Croatia which even has official Sony presence there, PS4 costs ~440€.
Smaller importers have off course brought consoles from Hungary and other nearby countries (mostly Italy). I have managed to get PS4 from HU for 500€ [largest bundle, KZ+gamepad+eye].
Microsoft in january:'' Xbone sell-troughs to stores larger than PS4 in december''!
Honeslty going off these little anecdotes, xboxone seems a lot like wiiu, only more popular but the same early adaptor craziness: wiiu saw some nice numbers at launch day, but in the end, 350 just wasnt worth it for most people (altough I still bought one). And thus, sales plummeted afterwards. Im not stating this as fact, but I do think xbox finds itself in a similar situation: outside of the early adapters, 500 just isnt worth it for most people, and maybe stores find themselves with too high of a stock of unsold xboxones.
Whereas I feel sony did it right, with the hype to create an atrractive package along with the right price, and so the wave of early adaptors is just way bigger, AND the amount of people think the PS4 is worth it for 400 is just way larger and are continuing to seek out a PS4 even after the early adaptors. So as an effect, PS4 is just continually sold out at stores.
I think Xbox could be fully in stock everywhere by new years.
I actually saw a PS4 in the case at my Target last night. At 6:30p on Christmas Eve? That was shocking.
First PS4 I'd ever seen in the wild to boot!
I think the point was the demand curve may be a similar shape; strong initial demand from The Faithful, followed by indifference from the general public.I cant be like wii u when it obliterated it in launch sales.
Working at target yesterday (madness even after the credit card fiasco) I saw a single xbox one in the console case, which was getting taken out and bought by some dudebro-lookig person as I walked by. I have yet to see any PS4s in the cases.
What does a dudebro look like?
You can recognize them by the XBone under their arm. Dead giveaway.What does a dudebro look like?
His shirt wasn't pink, but he was wearing the baseball cap and had the stupid chinese tattoos on his arms.

I was with it until the "even gayer" reference, which is pretty repugnant. Pretty good otherwise.
Let's retire this thread after today. If someone wants to start a post-Christmas retail stock check thread feel free. The run up to Christmas feels like a good point to break for a post-Christmas thread, lest this turn into megathread.

Brazil has a lot of PS4 available for sale.

Sorry but too many people make that mistake. Think of adoption like when you go adopt a baby.
It is obvious when you see it.
I went out black Friday for fun with my kids, I saw two dudebros.
1. TrU Buying XB1 games. Young dad, fat young wife in tow. Must have menial job based on vernacular and dress.
2. GS. Sideways hat, fancy sneakers, baggy clothes and white, yelling to his friend that he scored a XB1 on Craig's list for $575 (LOL). This is the poster child of COD playing douche bag, dudebro to the core.
Someone needs to update the Dudebro picture with something less homophobic.

lol Thanks for taking one for the team.I confirmed they've been sold out on PS4s for days. He wasn't sure exactly how long and looked at me strange for asking. Didn't ask him about anything else after that.

From reading this thread, it almost seems like the Xbox 1 didn't sell close to a million units in November. People predicting (just hopeless wishing really) that the WiiU would outsell the Xbox? Hilarious. Also, the dudebro shaming is embarrassing and really neurotic- I probably fit the demographic because I wear AE shirts, go to the gym regularly, and really enjoy FPS's.
My worthless anecdote- at my Walmart in NY => far bigger retail space dedicated to the XB1 relative to PS4. The Xbox section was bare- accessories, consoles completely wiped out. I saw a woman grab the last controller while I was there.
