I have yet to see a PS4 since launch but I have seen Xbox Ones sitting on the shelf at numerous places.

I still have zero plans on buying one.

Same. Xbox Ones were in short supply for no more than two weeks. PS4 has been rare as hen's teeth almost two months now.

Ill bite on Rayman for $40. Haven't paid more than $40 for a PS4 game yet!

Just waiting for Madden, CoD, etc to be $6 used for library completion sake.

Probably depends on the store. I never see them but they sometimes have them in the back.

There are usually stacks of XB1 at the various electronic stores I've visited (live in NYC). I still haven't seen a PS4 in store. I'm guessing MS has more supply in NA than Sony but could be wrong about that.

I want Rayman but I have too many PS4 games to play. I don't need another one collecting dust.

Across many forums people post that they see Xbones on the shelfs and never see a PS4. Checking online sites that monitor for when things come in stock the Xbone has been in stock fairly regularly and now constantly for a bit in many big sites, the PS4 is sold out every where still. MS might be supplying more units to the US than Sony, but from numbers that are coming out from around the rest of the world and knowing how many PS4's Sony sold, it is estimated that the PS4 has out sold the Xbone still in the US by a few hundred thousand it seems, which just shows there is simply more demand for the PS4 over the Xbone since it has higher sales and is nearly impossible to find still.

Various parts of Indiana, Tennessee and Mississippi.

I walked into the Best Buy in the good part of town yesterday and they had Xbox Ones sitting there, yet no PS4s.

Same here in Michigan... I've seen quite a few XB1's but no PS4's.

That said, MS could just have better supply flowing. If we had some solid numbers from somewhere though, that would actually be useful.

Damn, wish Rayman was $40 here, I'd jump all over that. It's still $60 here. :(

So, through the holidays I checked tracker sites to see how Xbox One and PS4 availability was... and both were generally sold out. After Christmas, Xbox Ones started to be easier to find.

Right now, I'm unaware of anywhere that has a PS4 in stock. Milage may vary in brick in mortar stores in your area, but online they're pretty much sold out. Xbox One's are available on Best Buy, Amazon, the Microsoft Store, Gamestop, Target, Walmart, and several other retailers.

It could just be that Sony is providing less stock in the NA region... but, I have a feeling that PS4 demand is just a little higher...

They didn't have any Wii Us. OMG Sony and MS are doomed!

This fanboi crap and unit by unit sportscasting and next gen winner crowning garbage is making me want to just turn off my internet and go outside.

The Best Buy I went to yesterday had about ten Mario Bundles in stock. I want to buy one, but am not sure about the motion controls as I did not like them too much on the Wii.

Some of the games look like fun. How do the motion controls compare to the Wii? I started playing some VC games on my Wii, and noticed Mario Kart on the VC on my Wii. I then remembered I despised the controls of Mario Kart Wii so much that I essentially stopped playing my Wii entirely. I loved Mario Kart on the GC, N64 (my favorite one and have it on the VC) and SNES.

No idea. I don't do anything with motion controls.

Most of the better games can be played on the tablet or Pro controller like a regular controller.
