Xbox Ones readily available

If you're only willing to play games on one companies platform, you're not a gamer kid. You're a fanboy. Gamers play games, regardless of what its on. I saw your GOTY list in the other thread. You had Knack second to KZSF, then after TLOU. You're telling me Knack is better than TLOU? Every game on that list was a Sony exclusive.

In other cases, I'd be right alongside the "rational" people chiding the ridiculous fanboys fawning over a "piece of plastic." In this case, however, it is about what that "piece of plastic" represents. It represents a potential direction in gaming I do not endorse and do not believe suits the best interests of gamers. So, is it over-the-top? Yep. But does meaningful change require passionate fervor? In some cases I think it does. Fire away cows, fire away.

microsoft has to be bullshittin about the million sales in less then a day

But that sell out, though. LEL!

To be expected, 1 million sounded to good for a console with bad publicity

The Walmart in my area has them, I guess the xbox one did not sell out. I guess its good that MS has stock for those who want the console, there just doesn't seem to be many who want it.

Lol , so much made up misinformation .

Can't wait for the numbers but would be surprised if MS could keep up with Sony this time .

@XboxFails: well it had a better launch then the 360 and that sold more then 80m so hardly a fail

Sigh I wish this wasn't fanboy drivel. I was looking all over today to no avail though!

It's pretty simple, the Xbox One costs more. It's selling well considering the price. Probably a lot better than the PS3 at that price.

lol cows getting really excited to prove this as a measure of popularity.

That's because they are not supposed to say they have them, but trust me they do. They hold them for black friday to intice people to come in, buy them, and take advantage of other sales too. $400 bait but still bait.

The Xbox One is going to get Xboned by Sony come the 29th. It's going to be a slaughterhouse.

OMG my head is explode right now WTF cows care about xbox sales geez even microsoft ceo don't care about it and xbox revenue is minor for them

geez just play your ps4 and shut the hell up no one care with your opinion

Selling like hot wii u's

Must be a fluke. Most likely 99.999% of other retailers are sold out of XBOX ONEs just like consoles are always sold out for the first few months after launch. This launch is no different no matter what Cows would like people to believe.

And BTW Cows, right now XBOX is better than PS4 because XBOX ONE has launch games. Deal with it.

Not good enough. Lots of people (including me) will not be interested in buying One until it costs around $200-$300.

The XOne is not going to compete in sales anyway, just by looking at the world wide release dates and the fact that groups of friends are deciding which one to get together.
I.e. selling the most upfront matters more than it used to, and there simply won't be Xbox Ones around to sell while there are PS4's to sell.
In Europe I would have to wait till the end of March 2014 to be able to buy a Xbox One. PS4 is available in 4 days.
Sony is only late in Japan IIRC and that is a market that MS won't focus on anyways.

in ur dreams dude

I still haven't seen any real proof that they are sitting on shelves unsold. Everywhere is sold out I have called. Targets online tracker says in stock but they said its only cause preorders still count as in stock

hahahaa... The denial is strong on this one,this was reported by a site dude move on the xbox one wasn't a sell out and sony did not ship all its units to NA since they have a launch 2 weeks later from NA launch,in fact this Friday they release on most of the countries less.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-25-xbox-one-outsells-xbox-360-two-to-one-in-uk-launch

The xbox one outsold the xbox 360 2 to 1 in UK,sadly 2 to 1 means it sold 140,000 units,for example the PS3 sold 165,000,and the record holder is the PsP with 185,000.

The demand is way slower than the PS4 from what it seems,so it is confirmed that they did ship less units than the PS4 to NA and still didn't sell out.

lol cows keep saying that. PS4 is still going to be the same console with little to play, no matter where it's launched.

Maybe MS will get the hint that no one wants that POS they made.

Might be stock in other places but around here it is sold out. Come black friday in the states it will be good to have some stock out there though.

From what Kotaku is saying no is not,they receive 150 emails from people with damage units,for the PS4 just a few docents.

(I've received about 150 e-mails in two days—for context, last week after the PS4 launch, Stephen asked anyone affected by hardware failure to reach out to him, and he received a few dozen e-mails in two days.)

Does anyone have official numbers of how many consoles each company sent to dealers? Otherwise these threads are pointless.

You mean that game i can have on my xbox 360 without investing more than $60 dollars.?

You do know than an actual gaming PC is as cheap or cheaper than an xbox one with live and Titanfall,and yes you have to count live mandatory because Titanfall has no offline mode is and online only game.

I don't think a multiplatform game will change anything specially when xbox fans can have it on their 360 already,if anything a 360 version will hurt the xbox one version,a $620 investment for 1 half game isn't quite great or something most people will want,look at the PS3 launch for reference.

Yeah because there is so much to play on xbox one..lol

I don't care. I have my XBoxOne, and I will say from first hand experience, It is a great piece of tech.

I don't give a damn if the PS4 can produce higher frame rates - the PS4 is just a hardware upgrade while the XBoxOne is a game changer.

@XboxFails:

I guess those don't count since all those features have to do with GAMING.

Until we see real numbers I wouldn't say what side is "Winning" once the holiday season ends we will see a clear divergence or a neck to neck race in progress.

I'd wait until then to start playing the sales game.

I have yet to find an Xbox One in store, and that's after checking three Walmarts, two Best Buys, Meijer and Gamestop.

Man, I remember such a similar event. The year was 2006, and Jack Tretton (then a part of Arrogant Sony) was going on about how the PS3 was a successful launch, and he would pay people if they could find a PS3 at retail. Several pictures later (and a hilarious post on Penny-Arcade) and the amount of egg on Sony's face was embarrassing.

I won't pretend I know anything about the retail side of the biz - not any high enough colleagues to know the going ons at that point. Clearly, something isn't adding up about their claims that they are "sold out at most major retailers", when people are reporting that just isn't true. I see two scenarios going on here with these wide spread reports of being sold out, while pictures are showing up proving otherwise:

Theory A) MS sold over a million, they just produced way more and over saturated their demand with quantity. Depending on how well their production yields actually were, this could be a possibility. Considering they reduced the amount of countries they would ship to from 21 to 13 over the summer, I think that might not actually be the case. It could be they weren't ready to support the online + CSR needed for those territories, but considering all those areas are places the 360 is readily available, I don't see how they don't have a system already in place for them.

Theory B) MS might be doing some magic math involving unfulfilled preorders. Okay, it has been our understanding for awhile that the first batch of pre-orders were going to be 'Day One Editions', while the green boxes are standard. I find it interesting that so many units of Day 1 editions are turning up in these photos, particularly in major metropolitan areas. One thing to note is that it is now past Sunday, and on Sunday most retailers were told to free up their unfulfilled preorder allotments so they could sell to customers and advertise in the Sunday adverts.

Now, this all depends on how many D1E's MS produced for preorders vs. their standard edition, but i'm curious as to why we're see so many of a supposed pre-order sku that we were told was sold out months ago.

The other, and I say most damning thing about something being up with MS' claim really, is that they made their announcement in the early-afternoon (or late, if you're on the East Coast) on friday. There was simply no WAY to know how your retail sales in your biggest market, NA, was doing at that time. Especially if we were seeing reports on friday that there were retail chains that WEREN'T sold out.

Something fishy is up. Nothing fans should worry about of course; If you got an Xbone over the weekend and are enjoying it immensely, I am very happy for you. I can't wait to rock your world in March with the game i'm working on ;)

So how is having a better supply chain a bad thing. The only thing that should matter is number of units sold.

Yeah it shows...hahahahaa

1. XB1 is more than "just a console".
2. Metacritic has no place in SW - only gamespot scores count
3. You cannot rebut that the PS4 is just a hardware upgrade.

That's the difference between you and me. If I am going to spend $300+ on a device, it better do more than just play video games.

PS4 = hardware upgrade

XB1 = next gen system.

No one is saying that,but store having xbox one available show the demand wasn't as high as MS want people to believe specially when they shipped less units to NA because they release on 11 other countries,when sony shipped 1 million to US and Canada alone.

1.Who cares so is the PS4,sadly i do care for games mores,and that TV crap is what people flamed the most.

2.Please refer to Beyond 2 Souls review thread.

3.You cannot rebut the xbox one is just a hardware upgrade with even worse policies than the xbox 360.

@kingtito: hahaha look at the 5 cows in this thread trying ao desperately hard. Fact is the perception is that the xbox one is more innovative and next gen than Sony and this is sticking to the craw of cows. Desperate thread is desperate. Also no xbox ones avail where I am I have 3 friends asking me where can I get one and I dont have an answer. Lol cows be desperate

I can't fin any....my brother was looking for one.....nothing online and nothing in stores...I am glad some place in New York has them but that doesn't do me a shit of good now does it.

@XBOunity:

Speaking of desperate threads, have you seen this one?

Bu...bububububbubu teh INNOVATION!11!!!!!!!11!!11

You're such an idiot that you have no idea what the conversation is about. You must be scared of the Xbox, why else would you continually post about. I'm not even sure you'd bring the 360 into this conversation. Fact of the matter is all stock of launch XOnes are gone. I've checked Target, BB, Fry's, checked online and they're all gone. I made several calls and no one had them in stock. In other words you dolt, sold out.

Are you seriously still crying about that thread? Just because some people used MC then doesn't mean it's ok to use it now. Take your butthurt head out of your ass for once el tormented. Forza 5 9 KZ Shadow Fall 7......GET OVER IT loser

PS4 = next-gen gaming console

XB1 = next gen watercooler

Well when I went to the Best Buy launch all preorders were picked up and all the extra's were purchased. I would say Xbox One launch was pretty close to as good as PS4 launch. I think Microsoft actually had more consoles at launch which is why there may have been extra.

It is actually a good thing that they are available at retail. A lot of the general consumer are probably not as informed as the people on this board. With the holidays around the corner, the One being readily available could be a positive press for the system.

*looks@source* lulz

Ummm all I know is asked at 3 different stores (Best Buy, Target and Gamestop) in my area and all were out of the XB1 and PS4.
