Despite what side of the console war you are on, one thing is for sure, it looks like supply will definitely not meet demand. Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop and others are reportedly completely out of or dangerously low on consoles for reserve. Much has been made about what console will "beat" the other, but regardless of who sells more this holiday season for those out there not planning on reserving yet intending to purchase a shiny new system before Christmas are going to have a 'Jingle all the way' holiday season.
Its unfortunate, but the cold reality is that many unsuspecting consumers will not reserve their console expecting to just buy one in the weeks that follow. Few will succeed, and many will in turn resort to Craigslist or eBay and end up spending upwards of $1000 for a $500 electronic, while some scumbag rides his pinto into the sunset with his system scalping blood money.
All that said don't worry! There is still hope.. As of this afternoon Walmart is still taking console reserves, and If you are planning on buying the Xbox One, Microsoft is still taking Day One edition reserves on their official website. So to all of you out there who have heard my warning, I wish you the best of luck this holiday season!
