A WHOLE hour, even with the discounts?! PS5 wouldn’t last that long.

PS5's last all of seconds/minutes. Super frustrating.

There seems to be less available for sale at least in Canada. Xboxes seem to pop up from time to time but much less for PS5.

All understood. I was just poking some fun at the ever-so-slightly-veiled yet goodhearted shade toward Xbox in the quoted post.

Rumors are Sony is possibly redesigning the heating solution and limiting the old design to customers due to major problems with overheated memory....

I'm kidding everyone, but honestly my PS5 runs crazy hot compared to my series X

I managed to squeeze in and put an order in. We'll see if it actually comes thru though.

Crossing fingers!

I can’t stand how it lets you add it to cart but that doesn’t hold the stock for a few minutes to get your information in. I was crushed on launch day at all 3 of Wal-Mart, ToysRus, and Best Buy where I thought I had it only to have it slip away.

Got a PS bundle at Wal-Mart tonight. Was way easier than the BB queue earlier in the day. Right in & checked out in under a minute. Was similarly easy about a week ago on Wal-Mart when they released a late night XB Series S/X drop.

In the spirit of the Thunderdome, first sales numbers are out and PS5 dominated. Xbox Series debuted lower than Xbox One did in 2013.

LOL at the Switch being the top selling console in November. Looks like it was just a supply issue for XBOX and PlayStation, but I love how a 4 year old console beat out both of them.

The Switch is a monster. It easily overran the Xbone in a lot less time. Great little system.

Oh yeah I imagine PS5 would've easily been the top seller of the month if they could've got enough into stores. Still, Switch numbers are crazy. Should easily top 100M lifetime sales.
