I went to Game Stop last night to pay for Gran Tourismo 6 Anniversary Edition for the PS3. While there, I asked them about Xbox & PS4.

The girl behind the counter said there were ABSOLUTELY more PS4 pre-orders over Xbone, but they got more calls about Xbone stock then they did PS4. As a result, she assumes that the Xbox is in more demand than the PS4.

I kind of see where she's coming from, but I don't think it's a great representation. I asked her also, but just so I could comment about Xbox still being in stock (it wasn't). So dunno.
Only time will tell which one is superior. Xbox's release was definitely hurt by the company's unremarkable presentations. All they focused on was old-hat Call of Duty bullshit and multifunctional entertainment stuff no one really cares about.

Yup no one cares about CoD, which of course is outselling every other next gen game 2:1 lol.

Was also at Game Stop yesterday to trade in my 360 (was hoping to get enough store credit with games for a Vita), asked their manager who did my trade in and he said it took them several days to sell out of XBones, but two hours to sell out of PS4's.

Ended up picking up a PS Camera for the PS4, will just wait a bit to get a Vita. Love the playroom, but can definitely see the endless need for stream banning by Twitch haha.

Brand is selling - thats all it is, as far as CoD goes its among the worse ever produced - even worse than MW3. I mean it would take another 2 years of shit CoD games for the sales to truly decline b/c people keep expecting it to get better.

Was MW3 the one where you walk through an airport and execute everyone you can? That was my introduction to the game. I enjoyed it.

Neither of the Black Ops games did anything for me.

MW2 or Black Ops 1 - either way both of those are easily in the top 5 made w/ MW 2 being either #1 or #2 for me. Ghost is terrible, i mean its like "So....how did this get released?" terrible - maps are bigger but still 6v6? How?...Why?...

I played Ghost on a PS4 at my sister's house.. felt like I Was playing the PS3 version of black ops 1/2. It was really embarrassing.

Played a whole lot of BF4 last night after playing it on PS3 at my brother in laws place earlier in the day. The upgrade is so huge.. textures, frame rate, everything. Pretty fun yet frustrating game. Got it for $20, how can you beat that?

From what I noticed trying to track down our second Xbox over the week is that MS is slowly loading up stores continuously since launch.
I don't think the PS4 is on there next big shipment yet.

Houston/Austin area is still bleak for both consoles. Took us awhile till we found a store that had one that wasn't part of some shitty bundle.

For instance Gamestop won't even sell you one unless it's on there terms.

It couldn't possibly be because MS shipped more units out and better anticipated demand, or lack of demand I suppose?

No idea how many units were shipped between MS and Sony.

Well the PS4 shortage will end up selling more XB1's as Christmas gets nearer and parents get more desperate.

Yeah Sony really need to ship again before Christmas otherwise they will lose a HUGE amount of sales to parent's that will get whatever is there for their kid. It doesn't look likely here in Australia. They said the EARLIEST we will get a ps4 is late january. So xbox will dominate the market over Christmas in Australia.
