PS4 and Xbox One pre-order sales declining

So...question for you guys:

I'm assuming there's going to be at least one more batch of consoles made ready for preorder before launch, right? Or is this "it" until launch?

If there's more on the way, when you foresee preorders picking up again?

This is it for now. Gamestop expects to get PS4s every week for the first 3 months though. How many nobody knows. They have told Sony that they are willing to buy every system they produce. My buddy at the local store to me says he expects to sell through the reserves on day one and have nothing for a week and a half and then get a couple every week until he stops selling them out. In which case another store that is selling them out will receive the allotment for his store.

For the XB1 I have heard rumor that it is a little more complicated to produce so supplies are a bit more limited.

I'm basing this off of past console launches: if you want one for the holiday, pre-order. Not only will the PS4 be a hot item for consumers, scalpers will also be ordering them by the dozens.

If the timeline doesn't matter to you, if you don't care about having in time for the holiday, then I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I still can't believe how retarded people sound on other sites in regards to the new consoles. People saying stiff like "Xbox requires on line and you have to pay for used games" and "ps4 has free online play" and "Xbox will have 10x the power since you can be online".

Where do these people get their ideas from?? I mean all these things were clearly ironed out and changed. Literally anywhere you look for info.

The average person isn't too bright.
