Xbox One can be found on the shelf next to the table salt.

"Maybe if Xbox One was sold in the cold cut aisle, people might actually buy it."
That was such a weak dis I'm imagining you're gunning for that person's social media job.
OMG, first time I've seen this one. XD
The last time I saw a console in a supermarket/discounter was ~6 years ago (Penny market). They had a console and a few games like Skyrim and Burnout (good prices iirc). Doesn`t happen to often, just as a special.

Was expecting something funnier at least.
German / Austrian humor isnt very funny. Very cut and dry.

They are a discount brand. Tesco and Walmart are not. It's like buying a PS4 in Home Bargains, and MS pointing out they are too expensive for such a store.

It's alright you know, the PS4 won't have its feelings hurt or anything of that nature. It's fine, I spoke to it this morning.

they should just have used Blablurn's twitter pic..
(that is from Germany)
That picture is old.
It gives a pretty clear picture though, which console got more space
Xbox was still 499.
You can get one for 329 with 2 games now.

Wait. Who sunk?
Here, in Canada, there's 4 places where I can buy an Xbox with cold cuts and cheese. The Loblaws grocery chains, the Shoppers Drugmart pharmacy chain, Walmart and Costco.

Uhm Xbox is doing pretty good in Austria, probably better than in most European countries but the UK.
Missed a great G-A-F opportunity there OP.
Hey, look! Are those Day One Xboxes?

I think everyone knows that PS4 is massively outselling XBO worldwide. Doesn't make things like this less enjoyable. People really need to lighten up.

Can't tell you about Germany, but in Poland it is sometimes considered funny/stupid to go to Tesco or something specifically to buy a game/movie/TV when, if you're in are where these have them in the first place, a specialized electronics store with better offers is probably around.
Fun fact: one Tesco around there used to carry 360 but no games. I wonder what were they thinking, hint hint.

We all know the reverse would be hailed, loved and laughed with.
Personally, I think it's a pretty funny jab.
How well did 360 do in Austria compared to the PS3?
The Xbox thirst for 40 % console marketshare in germany (or was it german speaking region?) is real but...
from Pal Charts thread.
I guess Austria and Switzerland are similar...

Xbox AT sunk to the level of people making fun of people that go to discount stores.

Ughh, I find it pretty lame. But I don't know what some of you are talking about, Interspar sells games, blu rays other tech stuff. And for those haha market for the poor, has been correct few years ago, now they have bio food (same price as from other stores), fresh baked bread (which is very good in my opinion).
Overall. Good for the ps brand, new market, new customers.

Keep in mind that a position in the top 10 is probably worth more than #11 to #50 combined (usually).

The big news here is why the hate for Aldi? I just started going here in the US last year and now I learn it's trash. What's wrong?! Somebody tell me why. Ahhhh
Well I go for food.

Microsoft is pretty much advertising the PS4 here.
It's a PS4. It's the same device, no matter where you buy it.
If Hofer is the cheapest, Hofer it is.

This was a meek mill level diss.
Yes, similar like the UK charts where games under the TOP10 have really low numbers.
It's still baffling and the Xb1 has constant sales in germany/Switzerland (although the PS4 has them too for the last 3 month). X360 gained a respectable foothold in germany but it completely evaporated.

Actually it is quite popular amongst university students where I live
. I don't know how big Hofer is, but if this was an Aldi offer it would be huge for Sony, definitely.RichiRamjag

I'd rather buy my PS4 or XBOX items at a grocery store rather than gamestop lol.
