I hope Sony ramps up production like crazy and he gets stuck with them.
being sold out within minutes in a B&M doesn't really mean that much if the xbone is still eventually selling out the shipments.
ps4 demand is obviously higher but in the short term...taking 1 hr to sell out versus selling out in 1-2 days ends up being the same if stock is similar and if shipments aren't coming in daily anyways.
If I wanted to get my hands on a PS4 tomorrow in NYC, what would be my best strategy?
Crazy! Selling at $540! And 7 have been sold in 1 hour!
LOL! For getting it in 2 to 5 days! Is that the standard USPS rate, or can sellers quote whatever they feel like for shipping as well?
Haha! Good luck. I'm guessing it would still be cheaper than the going rate there?
They're not even that hard to find...

Any store that ive walked into in Central Ohio has had Xbox ones in stock every single time since launch. Ive seen one ps4 in that time.

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.
yup ,this is a marathon not a sprint

Guessing Xbox One will definitely catch up to PS4 this month if not at the very least beat it in December NPD due to PS4 shortages alone. Personally speaking, whenever I've gone to a store in the past few days I would see a couple Xbones (2 or 3 usually) lying around but PS4 was nowhere in sight.
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.
If anyone is in the central Arkansas region, there are 4 PS4s at the Walmart in Cabot.
Remember that Xbox One only launched in 13 countries whereas PS4 launched in 32.

Can't even tell if this is trolling.

That's not a supply issue, that's a kinect voice recognition set back. That's a lot of countries with different languages to program for.

Looks like they all sold...I hope Sony ramps up production like crazy and he gets stuck with them.
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...
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.That's not a supply issue, that's a kinect voice recognition set back. That's a lot of countries with different languages to program for.
A lot of people are seeing XB1's in Targets and Walmarts, which aren't empty boxes.they were/are real boxes
same as GameStop
they often put boxes out front
there is nothing in them, display only
does NOT mean they have stock
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.

Thank you! Had a cousin that wanted one. Gonna see if they can get it now.

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.
Looks like they all sold...
$720 shipped, 38 sold.

I believe the reason MS only launched in 13 countries is because of Kinect. The software for all those languages is complex and just not ready.

Ha! The prices there are not as bad as I thought. Thanks!PS4 costs AUD $549 (~$490 USD) here in Australia. Mine was an
Amazon import, and I paid $417 USD (~$475 AUD).
Getting one from Ebay will still come with a premium for the immediate future, I'm afraid. And with Amazon selling their stock in minutes, well...
I know! Such a rip off!They're not even that hard to find...
No international shipping. Bastard!
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.
Best Buy Plymouth Meeting, PA
Plenty of Xbox ones, no PS4s left.
Woman said a lot of frustrated people at the lack of PS4s (and no they're not turning and buying the Xbox instead before that line of thinking gets thrown in again)
