I just took a trip around to all my local stores that sell video games. After a trip at 1:30pm to Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Gamestop, EB Games, and Circuit City, I found that they ALL still have Elite systems in stock.

I know some of these stores got as little as 4 units, and they all have systems in stock. Is the demand not there? I would have expected the stores with the smaller quantities to at least sell out, but it doesn't look that way.

I can only speak where I live and target was sold out this morning at 8:15, both 2 eb games were sold out by noon anf 6 gamestops were sold out anywhere from 11-5.

Also circuit city is sold out.

FYI, Keep in mind this unit is for a certain demographic and not for all.

Most of the people that are buying the elite are xbox360 owners already.. or people who would have buy the xbox360 premium anyway. My 2 cents.

The Target near my home reportedly sold 35,000 Elites within 2.34567 nanoseconds of the store's opening.  Totally serious.

You could still go online and pick it up. I am amazed  that it hasn't sold out on its first day.

 Nobody wants one anymore. The thing is like, what over a year old? It's like you are going out to buy a brand new car, you won't want to buy a Nissan 2006 when it's 2007.

Most of the people that are buying the elite are xbox360 owners already.. or people who would have buy the xbox360 premium anyway. My 2 cents.loco145
HUH, why the hell would a Xbox360 owner go buy a second 360? Whats the point in that. Man you sure think weird.

[QUOTE="souledge474"][QUOTE="InfamousC"]

I just took a trip around to all my local stores that sell video games. After a trip at 1:30pm to Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Gamestop, EB Games, and Circuit City, I found that they ALL still have Elite systems in stock.

I know some of these stores got as little as 4 units, and they all have systems in stock. Is the demand not there? I would have expected the stores with the smaller quantities to at least sell out, but it doesn't look that way.

A quick trip to Ebay shows systems selling for a premium over the retail value. Could my market just be an anomaly?

Let us know in the comments if you find Elite's on the shelves.

who cares? ps3 is still in last place

hold on wasnt the elite suppose to kill the ps3? looks like that wont happen :lol:

I aint picking sides, but trust me, sony doesn't need any help from anybody to be in last place. It doesn't need the Elite's help in any way.

I personnally don't see how anybody thought it would sell out in the first place. It's not like it is a new console. The only people going to want it is people that don't have a 360, and the hardcore gamer that just has to have the best 360 made.. I wouldn't mind having one, but I am playing the waiting game on this gens consoles. The 360 breaks down all the time, the PS3 looks like it may flops, and the Wii could turn out to be just a fad that fades ina year or two. So I will just play PC and Nintendo DS Lite and wait and see how things play out. BUt at this time, the Elite has my attention the most with the Wii looking good for a second console for my kids (and me too).

We had about 8 people waiting in front of gamestop this morning that had aparently camped out over night,unfortunatly we only had 4 elite systems in stock and had to turn several away.A few people filtered in here and there throughout the rest of the day asking for them as well.I didnt really expect a big showing for this thing considering the 360 has been out for about 2 years now but it seems like theres a little bit of a demand for it,nothing like weve seen for the wii around the holiday season but reasonably respectful.This will mostly sell to new 360 owners and a few hardcore fans who just want the bigger hardrive and the black case.Personally im not gonna get one because i already own a 360 but if something happens to the one i currently own ill get one.

If I was you I would wait for the new 65nm chip to start being made for the 360, which should happen sometime this spring. I would get an Elite probably late summer, early fall.

And the PS3's 1080p support are....NBA 07 (a god awful basketball game)....

Yup, well there will be some good games in the future running the 1080p...I can't remember if Motorstorm runs it too but what type of arcade racer has no split screen and only 8 tracks eh? Soon, Lair and that will be in 1080p...but soon Hal0 3 will be in the 1080p as well, at least the rumors say...

Stunning.  It hardly sells well at $400, I didn't think a price INCREASE would help it. MS wasn't thinking on this one. And I can vouch for the lack of demand. I walked in to Best Buy today and they had tons of Elites all over the place being advertised as well as fully stocked in the regular Xbox360 section right next to lots of Premiums and Cores. I asked how many they had sold, and they told me about 5. I'm a 360 fan, but I aint going to lie to myself, for whatever reason, nobody but hardcore gamers want this console, which is a shame, because it has the best games.

Yes,that's why it sold 3.4 million consoles in 6 months....? Wii's "dominance" is a myth,the consoles havent been out for a year and the competition are already claiming victory lol.If the Wii is still selling like hotcakes in 2010,then we can all agree Wii was a good decision by Nintendo. Until then,let's look at the software and what the companies will be offering us who purchased their systems.

3.4 million to retailers and warehouses hooray! I guess if it's doing so well, the man you'd take a bullet for was squeezed out by a welsh CEO of a Japanese electronics giant. Plus I wouldn't expect the wii "fad" to die anytime soon, because casual gamers are dumb by cow logic and if they can make 50 cent bulletproof a greatest hit, they can make the Wii #1.

But your right it's all about the software....whenever it gets there...if it doesn't jump to other platforms.....or if consumers are willing to pay that 600 dollar price tag......

but hey tomato tamatoe

You must be mistaken,it's Ms who are supplying false numbers: http://www.informationarbitrage.com/2007/04/microsoft_phili.html Ken Kutaragi was an amazing figure at Sony,and whilst we're all deeply saddened by his announcement of retirement,we are all pleased to welcome in Kazuo Hirai,a man with an incredible and challenging view of the future of the Playstation brand. It is all about the software,look at the top 360 games for this year:Halo 3,Mass Effect.Shooter,and Shooter.Then look at the Ps3 titles,MGS4,Final Fantasy,Ratchett and Clank,Heavenly Sword,Lair,etc.(I didn't include Wii because the top game,Mario,has already released)

So ironically, the Elite is a repackaged 360 premium with a gimmicky HDMI. Why would anyone fall head over heels to own such shoddy hardware?
