Has anyone seen a ps4 on the shelf in the wild yet and if so where?
My buddy is driving me crazy about getting three ps4's and I haven't seen one anywhere. Thinking my best bet is GameStop on weds when the delivery truck normally comes

Gamestop gets daily delivery. Replenishment product can come any day. The store will know ahead of time because they see it on the distro list for product in transit.
 
Never seen one. Never seen an XB1 either although on black friday around 10:00 am the gamestop I went into claimed to have a couple of XB1s. The guy said they were selling much weaker than the PS4, for what little that's worth.
 
I've seen Xbox ones at GameStop but not a single ps4 anywhere. I'd like to get one just to be done with it, especially since I can get $170 in trade credit for my ps3, ghosts and 2k14 right now
 
Why do you need 3 of them?

I haven't seen one on the shelf at all. I've seen X1's at quite a few stores though.
 
One for him, one for me and the other for our buddy that we play with. I was fine with waiting til next year when Madden came out but they found out how much we can get from GameStop for our ps3 stuff and may as well just do it. I can get $170 for my stuff but they are getting almost $300 each in trade credit so I honestly don't blame them for wanting to do it.
 
My area has Xbones all over the place. No PS4s. Tough to draw popularity conclusions from that, since it could just boil down to distribution and/or manufacturing numbers. That said, I saw it reported yesterday that BF4 had 177k PS4 players and 100k Xbone players. I'll try to find the link.
 
I haven't seen any... I only look when I'm there to see deals on other stuff though. If I walk by the case that is supposed to have PS4 / XB1's in them, I look.
 
I have noticed alot on craigslist.. the ps4 is same price as the One.. that surprised me.. but there are like 20 ones, and 4 ps4's for sale.. I would like a PS4.. but wont pay $200 more for it. my understandingis they will be shipping quite a few more in the next few months.. only like 1 game on each side worth playing anyways (right now)
 
My craigslist is the same way, $550-$650 for a ps4, no way in hell I'll pay that price. If I have to wait til after Christmas then so be it the system isn't worth that much to me to anyways. I've got a feeling tho tomorrow might be my day to get one at gamestop
 
Some areas definitely have more stock than others. I read an article about how some parts of the country were completely sold out of both systems while large amounts of them were sitting unsold in places like New York. My guess is that this week supply will start to spread out more evenly and seeing them on the shelves should be common.

MS had said early on that they were planning on delivering very large quantities as well as not preselling the entire initial shipment because as they said early on that they wanted extra for people that may not have preordered in advance but wanted a shot at getting one. The fact that that you can find them on the shelves has more to say about MS's ability to manufacture them and less about demand.

I don't think people should look to much into it. Both systems are selling very well, in spite of disjointed demand in some countries. Also, both systems have outpaced the adoption rates of their own predecessors and should each enjoy a healthy share of the console gaming community in total.

I barely got $500 for the 2nd PS4 I sold. I sold it about a week after it came out and prices plummeted after the first day.

Why is your buddy not looking for any? Why is it your responsibility to get 3 of them? Get one for yourself and tell your buddy to pound sand.

They had some at Futureshop up here in Vancouver when I was in there the other day. I just checked and they still have some in a few of their stores. No PS4s though.

They are going so fast my local Wal-Mart doesn't even have a place on the shelf for them as they sell within minutes of them coming in.
 
Amazon has been getting the xb1 systems in pretty often the past week or so. Haven't seen many ps4 availability though.
 
Still haven't seen any in the wild yet, so much for Sony saying the stock would be there thru the holidays
