Best Buy PR: “We’ve Sold Many More PS4′s Than Xbox One’s

This evening iGR covered Best Buy‘s Ultimate Gamers Showdown, Madden 25 tournament. I had the opportunity to speak to Sony, Xbox, and more importantly, Best Buy PR while spectating the tourney. While company policy prohibits stating exact sales figures of any product, I was given a general statement as to which next-gen console is currently selling better at Best Buy. On-site members of Best Buy’s Senior PR team stated, “We’ve sold many more PS4s than Xbox One’s.” The staff also noted, “Both products are selling extremely well.” This being Best Buy’s flagship store in Richfield, MN, less than a mile from corporate headquarters; I take these numbers as a general trend of nationwide sales thus far.

That fact was driven home by the sheer amount of next-gen stock that Best Buy had on-hand. The retailer had nine PS4 units (two of which purchased moments later) and over thirty Xbox One consoles in-stock. Another surprising revelation was that the Madden 25 tournament was being played exclusively on PS4 hardware. And yes, before another “There’s PS4′s in-stock” article is printed; PS4s and Xbox One’s were both available at Best Buy.

The fact remains that both consoles have sold over two million units since they launched. But Best Buy was just one stop I made tonight. I also visited my local GameStop before heading home. The CSR working when I arrived pretty much mirrored the statements from Best Buy saying, “We don’t have any PS4′s for sale right now, but we have about 25 Xbox One’s.” The rep added, “I get calls everyday from customers looking for PS4′s.”

In the end both Sony and Microsoft have enjoyed stellar console launches. How things stack up long-term remains to be seen.

That just tells us that Microsoft is doing a better job of replenishing stock. If you click on the Best Buy links the earliest you can get an XBOX is the 19th...but they can't guarantee that you'll get one before the 24th.

That means Best Buy don't have these on hand. So it's not like they are sitting on shelves collecting dust.

So the fact that the One is available to order a week from now means nothing.

Stock is sittin on fukking shelves and in warehouses. That aint replenishing. That's channel stuffing to inflate figures. MS aint selling shyt no where else so they focusing (rightfully so) on the one area they have a remote chance to win. They losing the rest of the planet with EASE.

As soon as Quads pop up, they are gone.

It doesn't take a genius to see which one has the greater demand. They haven't even launched in Asia yet....and when it hits Japan.... :banderas:

Might be Nintendo Wii type of shyt for months.
Bottom line is if you want an Xbox One, you can cop one RIGHT NOW EASILY. PS4? Not so much :to:

The console with the greater demand speaks for itself....

they are doing a better job of replenishing stock, but the same demand isn't there as well.
