Black friday PS4 sells out before Xbone

I happen to work at a large retailer in the US and they were giving out tickets to people who were waiting for the PS4 and Xbox one.

when i happened to stroll over before the event even started (event started at 6 i went over at 5) i asked how many PS4s they had left. they had sold out before the event even started the lady kindly said "none" they are all sold.

I was not expecting this so i kindly asked how many Xbox ones were already sold. She said none, Well i think 3 actually.

I dont know how many of each console they had by how many boxes they had i estimated at least 20 each.

The only reason i posted this is because its obvious that the PS4 is the more wanted console and here comes the standard MS IS DOOMEDDD. lol.

Anyone else have a similar experience last night. like go looking for a PS4 but it was sold out then find out they still had plenty of Xbox ones?

Blog this crap!

Price matters. Game libraries are relatively even right now, and with the PS4 offering a slightly better presentation for the biggest multiplats (2K, CoD, BF4, AC all look better on PS4) it's easy to see how being able to get that for $100 less and like 5 or 6 free PSN+ games resonate with shoppers, parents and gamers.

I don't think there was ever really a question as to which platform would have the stronger holiday. It was always just a question of how big a lead the PS4 would have.

To move more boxes, I think Microsoft would be well served to run more commercials highlighting the strength of Kinect. It's been kinda spotty for me (seemingly growing slightly less inconsistent by the day...or maybe the buzz is gone and I'm just noticing how often I have to repeat commands more), but it's the biggest difference between the two and one of the only ones that can be spun in Microsoft's favor. They've done a good job showing the games, but the more of the UI they show in a positive light, the better the response will be from consumers.

Their marketing team has the task of showing gamers in 30 second ads why they should be willing to pay $100 more for weaker hardware. I do not envy them, but I do wish them luck.

i'm not worried about how popular something is i'm worried about what games i get to play.

and the idea that 3rd party is going to abandon the xbox is a joke.

i am buying both at some point and i am not really worried that i will regret it.

the ps4 will have great games that you can get nowhere else and so will the x1.

it's that simple.

why xbone even sold out is the question

Not where I'm at. At my local strip club, there was 2 ps4s behind the bar and zero xbones. I askes the bouncer if they had any xbones and he said they had 4, 237, 982 xbones in stock last night at midnight and they sold out in 6 seconds. Craziness.Guess the ps4 is doomed.

lol where you work walmart? 20 systems lol. anyw ays duhhh ps4 tredding ahead

so they're both selling out... I guess this war comes down to who can produce and distribute them faster

@lamprey263: pretty much at least first couple months

Cool. good story.

I was at Walmart Best Buy and Gamestop last night. Walmart had a mountain of Xbox Ones. There was a clerk monitoring them. I asked him how many he sold so far he said none. Same thing with Best Buy I asked if people were grabbing them the guy said he saw 2 people get one. I was at game stop and there were about 100 people in line I was in the middle. I saw one Xbox sold while waiting. Everyone else were getting PS4's. They were snatching them up. Best buy and Walmart had no PS4's when I was there.

I'd imagine its like how in some states Obama got no votes. Yet he won. Yet Xbox One is selling better overall.

and thus TLHBO.

LOOOL. Go ahead keep that imagination alive brospeh! and the bold part, where? Venus?

I think everyone knows by now that the PS4 is the default console for nextgen gamers. Get Xbone if you enjoy talking to your TV while skyping your grandma and playing COD at 720p with other dudebros.

This quote for the win! Actually the first sentence sums it all up perfectly, PS 4 IS the default console by the majority. Microsoft's stupid DRM policies and flip floppy self came back to bite them in the arse.

Honestly, between the numerous reports, polls, opinions, sales trends and analyst predictions, I no longer find this a surprise. I think people are speaking and the PS4 is the better system at the moment. However, they need to keep their foot on the gas and by that I mean, you are getting the install base and the next thing they need is that install base to give great word of mouth. Give us the games and they will put another nail in the Xbox One's coffin.

lol ok . games you are losing and its not looking good. Naughty dog game and what else? you will probably get the ND late too, so games are a strong win atm and when Titanfall hits the streets I think a lot of people will be trading in their ps4s. its a long gen bro, till 2020, fortazela sonys vr a lot more to come. the cloud which im sure SOny will start doing it, because its going to show it matters. so again 2nd rate system for Sony just like PSN.

Sure, I'll bite. Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4, plus whatever the 2nd teams is working on. inFamous, Drive Club, ya know what? I don't need to make a list. You're a lem who already knows the list of games coming to both. I hope Titanfall is a good game, but please, before you hype it like crazy and say something stupid like "people will be trading in their PS4's" just remember that it could very well be another Ryse. Also, you're right, it is a long gen. Something Microsoft clearly forgot last gen and probably will this gen again.

I generally get both Xbox and PlayStation systems rather early, but I am holding off on the Xbox One until a price drop or maybe when it hits $399.

I've gone with the PS4 this generation, Microsoft really screwed up with the Xbox One. Don Mattrick and Microsoft PR team FTW!

I walked into GameStop this afternoon and the wife got me a xbox one no problem. The were out of ps4s but I already have one

I went to the MS store in down town SLC Utah to return my Xbox One this evening and they had tons (50+ boxes) sitting next to the service desk. I asked the guy and he said they were not simply display models...they were the real deal. I was actually pretty shocked that they were not sold out. I've been checking around and can't find the PS4 anywhere. I've decided to hold off on getting either console until sometime next year to see how things pan out. It pains me to say, as I'm an Xbox guy, but I think the PS4 is going to dominate this gen. I think MS made many mistakes and compromised too much. I tried the Xbox One for a bit and was not impressed. I just could not justify keeping it, especially because of the price tag.

Lems, give it up. It is over. I will gladly put all of you out of your misery. Message me your addresses so I can stop by and end your suffering.

My local retailers had mountains of Xbones on the even of Friday.

I live in a small town and was in the city today and found an xbone at target they had two actually so I bought one and advertised it on my towns buy and sell page on FB and made a cool Hondo profit as soon as I got home, got myself no no Kuni for 20 an extra ps4 controller and American horror story basically free. I got a 15 gift card too for spending more then 75 I gave it to an elderly lady who was coming in when I was leaving the store

Didn't expect PS4 beating Xbone even on it's home market.

See and you accuse me of making up sh**..hahaha

All freaking xbox one exclusives were owned by a damn Indie game how sad it that.?

The highest game Forza 5.

. Forza Motorsport 5 80.84%

The highest PS4 game Resogun.

Resogun 84.04%

It is a disaster what has happen, now before you go into full damage control,the xbox one launch failed dude it failed,just like the PS4 as well,remember how the PS3 launch was suppose to be the worse ever.?

Resistance scored 86.70 this game was consider by lemming to be garbage and i remember well all the hate it got then for it score,and now you people want to pretend that 80% is great some how..

Lets see we have.

Infamous.

Drive Club which make Forza 5 look last gen,and will probably outscore it to.

And The order 3 exclusives for next year,i know more are coming,specially if i start to count games on PC that will be on PS4 but not on xbox one,like your doing now with Titanfall.

The fact that you have to hide on a multiplatform game to defend the xbox one make me laugh so hard,you people really have nothing for that crappy console and to think it cost you $100 more than the PS4,to get fewer exclusives and inferior multiplatforms.

Im a customer service manager at Wally and although quite a few ones were sold we still have some left. I saw PS4s being sold thursday night, havent seen one in stock since
