from the time they announced full production and the time it took them to take the picture i have no hopes that they can reach the 3 million quota

Picture has the release date on the box, they were obviously waiting to post the picture until after the release date was announced.

PS4 pre-order cancelled.

LOL NO

Microsoft

Yoshida needs to tweet:

Not bad:

Looks like 3 (maybe 4) per box. There are smaller (narrower) boxes on the rack in the background of the first photo that are probably the individual Xbone shipping boxes.

Just now getting off the line? Scalpers are going to flock to this thing.

Awe yis, soon it will be mine.

Pachter mentioned this in one of his videoes.

Pach on supply and demand

I know many simply ignore pachter, but he does know a lot about the industyr....

 

[DopeyFish]

Are you sure about that? Someone in this thread claimed to have a 360 with a manufacture date of July 11, 2005: http://www.avforums.com/forums/xbox-360/373382-earliest-manufacture-date.html

Could have sworn they announced at TGS (Sept 15, 2005) the release dates and that they started manufacturing the day prior

And you sure he didn't mean November 7th? Lol

I think in this case "Direct from the factory" means just that. Inventory is going to be tight.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Major, I believe you have the wrong shipping label on the box. It's supposed to come directly to my house. Please fix.

 

[Darklor01]

$18,000 USD staring you in the face. Yeah, there's more in the truck. There is always at least one news story about one of these getting hijacked on it's way somewhere.

Microsoft is getting a very late start on production for a Nov. 22nd launch. Much of the later production will need to be shipped by air transport (i.e., more expensive) in order to make launch.

This is similar to the late production start for the 360 launch (also Sept. production start for a Nov. launch).

 

[SymbolicGamer]

Welp that's it all 36 pre orders are taken care of. I'm joking of course. I assume they will go in some sort of retail sleeve. Can't just be a brown box sitting on the shelf at walmart. lol

...

You do know those plain cardboard boxes are just for shipping purposes right? Retailers don't have sleeves they put over it. lmao.

 

[baphomet]

Absolutely going to be shortages. It was impossible to find a 360 in the states for a long time after launch.

 

[The Flash]

Yo dawg, I heard you like X"box"

Do we know if PS4's are starting to roll off the production line yet?

Nuttin' gets shipped now here's unless we'd knows about itz. Got it?!?!

Yeah, maybe. I don't claim to know anything.

Not really , only takes about 2 weeks to ship things by boat . So they can have sept and oct units arrive by boat and the first week of nov. Should be able to ship out a few million

Simple things like this send my hype into overdrive. It's going to be nuts when November hits.

I highly doubt they will use air transportation.

The problem with 360 wasn't that they weren't able to assemble them quickly enough. It was that they didn't have enough usable chips to install in them.

[Coulomb_Barrier]

X360 started production a similar time for a similar release and they had only around 750k at launch iirc?

So XONE also needing Kinect in every box slightly complicates manufacturing process which in turn is offset by the 360's poor yields so...

In conclusion MS will have around 750k at launch.

 

[yankeehater]

Yeah the hype is going to be insane when we get closer to the launch date for both consoles.

hmmmm... no way to know throughputs on the new console production, but that's an interesting assumption.


Guessing there's 4 consoles in that case, 27 cases per pallet = 108 XBONES per pallet

These are heavy, so let's say there's 48 pallets (unit loads) per shipping container = 5,184 consoles per container.

750K consoles = 145 containers total at launch. Doesn't seem like much...

That's what's in that box.

A box in a box in a box!!!

Officially at Gamescom apparently although I can't find a source that states it

Did they announce it during the conference perhaps?

Officially the console was announced as being in production back at Gamescom.

Unofficially it looks like they've been in production as early as June: http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130611PD207.html
