Big shipment of PS4 at Target today?
- Thread starter BFIB
- Start date
For the first time, I've seen a PS4 box in the flesh, at a local Target.
Looks like they got their shipment. Another local Target had jack shit for PS4s. Both had plenty of Xbones, including a lonely Day One Edition.
A local Best Buy had just one Xbone sitting around. Didn't see any up in the higher areas like in that one pic from the other thread, so iunno if they were just hiding or if it's really the only one they had.
Also, here are some ducks.

I'd say awful, because it means some retailers are still selling stock received on launch day.
I was able to walk in to my local Target in Redmond and pick up a PS4 pretty easily yesterday, and I even took a night to think it over since I saw they had a full display Saturday evening.
It's the first time I had seen either console in stock in the wild in the greater Seattle area.

Or perhaps it was purchased as a Christmas gift and it was returned.

Damn where did you find ducks? They're all sold out at the targets near me.

MS gonna have to drop that price sooner than later.
Well it could be that the new shipments keep selling and every person coming in since launch to pick up an xbox purposely avoided buying the day one edition maybe because they like the green box more than the black. I don't know but it could be a possibility.

Or the Day One edition was returned by a scalper who couldn't make a profit off it.
There are various possibilities, but I can't think of one that paints a rosy picture for the Xbone.
Looks like GameStop is getting plenty of returns, but are smart in bundling Vita's and second controllers with the PS4's. Maybe they aren't allowed to sell them for $350.00?
For what it's worth, that pond had way more geese in stock.
Geese obviously shipping more units.
Oh, oh, I got it, he just wanted the Day One cheevo and then returned it for #TeamGreenBox

Next-gen ducks.

I am literally tripping over geese at all the stores near me but I have yet to find a duck in the wild

Tssk ... A good number of those geese are photoshopped. The things ornithologists do to suggest geese are more populous than they actually are ...
I can't say anything about the USA, but in the UK the high street and online seem a bit sparse, apart from Argos who seem to have stock at the moment. I might go pick one up tomorrow, but should really wait till I'd planned on getting one.

I want the white, DayOne Edition.

That makes sense as a couple of retailers here in NZ have advertised dates of the 15/16th for the next shipment, and the shipment usually goes to Aussie and then units get re-distributed to here(for certain retailers).

I've seen quite a few day one editions and this is my thoughts on it as well. I'm buying one Wednesday off craigslist for $450 still factory sealed. Thanks scalpers.
Would you look at that? It's ridiculous how they stuff the distribution channels with these ducks.

After just two months? Somehow I doubt it. They're not doing as bad as people here seem to think they are.
It may drop by next Christmas, to get competitive.

It has been 2.5 hours since you posted this. Are the PS4s or ducks still there?

If the ducks are there, that must mean nobody wants them.
Someone please think of the ducks.

Hey we have no idea how fast ducks are being sold and then restocked. Maybe that company is just better at supply logistics of aquatic birds

If Charlie Brown made a Christmas display that would be it .... the world's loneliest display.
I bet they sold all of the previous stack and built it up again.

Major Nelson fact: Did you know geese are designed for a lifespan of up to 24 years, ensuring you get fowl entertainment for years to come?
