It makes sense to feel good about the supply when you have no pre-orders

V0LT3799d ago

With everyone sold out "say to say" I wonder how much extra stock will actually exist?

UltimateMaster3798d ago

If all the games must be installed, then I find the disc pretty useless.

Naga3799d ago

Pray tell, what are your sources for claiming no pre-orders. I'm burning with curiosity here.

bestofthebest3799d ago

Pre orders are sold out get out from that cave

GoPanthers9993799d ago

My local Best Buy and several Gamestops indicated that they sold many more X1s than PS4s. A few Best Buy folks even said they felt there was very little new to PS4 other than graphics.

FragMnTagM3798d ago

I am probably going to be disagreed with, but I can confirm this to some degree.

I am the electronics supervisor at a huge retail chain and we received 14 PS3's including the 10 that preordered the system.

For XBOX One's we received 32 of them. 19 of which are pre-ordered. I got lucky and got a day one edition for tonight's launch as they come 2 to a box and there was one extra.

Of course it is most assuredly not like this at every retail store, but where I work this is 100% true. I also live in college town and there are always more people lined up for 360 version of games on midnight launch. I am sure that is reflecting in the numbers of the two new systems here.

Did the admins really allow someone to make the name xboxdone and allow them to make these kinds of posts? Wow. And every pre-order chart from the last few months would like a long word with you. Hear that knocking on the door? It's called reality.

Im curious to see the sales in comparison to the PS4 after 24 hours.

harrisk9543799d ago

Since Xbox is launching in more territories than the PS4 (remember the PS4 was US and Canada only), we won't have an accurate indicator until the launch of the PS4 in Europe next week.

They're both just going to sell how ever many units were produced. It's not gonna be until mid 2014 until we see the real trends.

gusgusjr3799d ago

uhm, can't we all enjoy what we have. Everything is about numbers. You know what they say about guys who want to keep measuring by the numbers....

Naga3799d ago

They're scientists?

Can’t believe another retailer hasn’t come out with a similar program but offering 10% instead of the 20%. I’d sign up immediately.

mkis0071187d ago

20% off any new game sku including CE's and preorders, plus 10 bucks for preordering...ya nothing was even close.

sourOG1186d ago (Edited 1186d ago )

Yup. I’d still have it if possible. The deals I got were insane, there is no way they didn’t lose their ass with that program. I’m not surprised it ended lol.

Relientk771187d ago

This is gone and the Amazon program is gone. It sucks.

CrimsonWing691187d ago

We needed this program now more Than ever. I’m not paying $70 for a lot of these games coming out now.

QuePasa871184d ago

I'll continue to wait for sales and price drops :/
