PS4 in stock now on Amazon
- Thread starter Yoyoniner
- Start date
Pointless to sit around measuring some "time".. you'd need to know how many units they were supplied with for that to matter.
Good for those interested in getting a PS4 though.. not that anyone seems to care here :lol:

Just checked. It's still available. Demand isn't making it sell out out like how X1 would pop up on Amazon and be sold quickly. Checking X1, it's still sold out.
Last time X1 was in stock at amazon it took at least 10 hours to sell out. Its been in stock at Best Buy for at least a week.
Well the XBOX ONE has been 1 through 4 on the Amazon top sales chart since it has launched for its category (still in top 20 right now, but has dropped due to no new systems available for the last 4 or 5 days). The PS4 hasn't even been in the top 20 since it launched. MS obviously is doing a great job of restocking, which is probably why it is currently ruling NA in sales.
Good to finally see Sony taking care of a region that is most important in the world. I may even get a 2nd PS4 to go in my bedroom.
No one can deny how well the XBOX ONE has sold in NA. Keeps getting restocked week after week and sells out rather quick. Interesting how MS hasn't restocked Amazon for about a week now though. Then again it seems like they blasted BB, GS, Target and Walmart with stock (Walmart/Target are now sold out though).
At least Sony finally came back to NA with stock and by stock I mean a bulk shipment, not one here, two there.
How do we know XBONE is ruling NA in sales? The only NPD data we have is from Nov and PS4 won that.
You obviously didn't even read the NPD article since it said the XBOX ONE sold more units for the 9 days it was on the market in NA than any other console (of course the PS4 won the month overall. It had 7 more days). Then we look at the top sellers list at Amazon and how the X1 has been in the top 20 for a while now (usually was between 1 through 4 until this week when limited restocking happened) and well it is pretty obvious that the X1 has been dominating NA since it launched.
I did read the NPD article, MSs claim of being the fastest selling system makes no sense to me. Like I said I'll wait for NPD numbers for Dec.
"How fast it sells out on Amazon" is meaningless unless you know the shipment/stock size, which you don't. Has anyone here but you used Amazon sell out times as proof of anything? I doubt it, knowing your eagerness to fabricate strawmen.
You must be trolling.

It's VERY easy to understand, it just doesn't mean much:
1. PS4 sold roughly 1.1 Million over the course of 16 days.
2. X1 sold just over .9 Million over the course of 9 days.
Therefore, X1 (on average) sold more console per day. It is, therefore, the fastest selling console of November.
So from a sample size of 1 you can conclude this, I dare say its you and not the console.
This only works if you decide to restrict the definition of november to being the days the console was out.
Why would anyone want to buy a used PS4 or Xbone for more than they are worth? Both have been readily available since Sunday.
Just comes off as spin to me, we all know Sony and MS sold most of their respective sales on the 1st day. So averages
in this case seems dumb.
No, that actually doesn't make sense. All you need to do is take the number of consoles sold, divide by the number of days it was on the market, and you get a number. That number is higher for X1 than.it is for PS4.
That's factual, nothing wrong or misleading about it... Just the facts.
But as I said, it doesn't mean much.
Exactly.
Faster doesn't necessarily mean more. Only emotional people who are too lazy to check for more data get caught up in statements. MS never said X1 sold more than PS4 in November. They just said it sold at a faster clip at 110k/day totaling about 900k. If anyone took two seconds to look for some more details from NPD or Sony themselves, they would have known PS4 sold more. If Sony PRed a bit better and actually told people how many PS4s they sold to trump MS it would be more clear, but they quietly just said "PS4 sold the most in November". They could have easily come out and said PS4 sold 1.1M beating X1 (assuming GAF math is accurate), but instead they said nothing more. Kind of surprising as Sony PR is typically loud when things are winning, so I was surprised they didn't rub it in MS' face PS4 sold more.
It's like a race car saying it is faster than Honda Civic. The race car can travel faster, but the Civic will get you farther on a tank of gas.
It's no different than a maker saying console or handheld X had the biggest % gain in sales vs month ago or last year. Doesn't mean it sold the most. Without even looking at the data, I wouldn't be surprised if Vita selling 100% more then its usual sales (double), while 3DS sold -50% than a usual month that 3DS might still sell more.
People have to do a bit more digging instead of just skimming for a headline or blurb. I know it's the internet and kids now are brought up with gadgets, but it's not hard to read. There's only 26 letters and 10 digits in English to understand.

Well of course it's spin, but it's also factually accurate. All companies put the best slant on the facts they can, so it puts them in the best light. Sony has done just as bad if not worse, but we're all smart enough to know the only data that matters coming out of the November numbers is that both sold out, and neither had a weak supply. Roughly a million on either side for one region during a world-wide launch is awesome.
Very true, its like Sony last gen with the "PS family" sales.. And yes healthy competition will make sure gamers win.
