So Microsoft claimed to have sold 1 million Xbox Ones, worldwide, in 24 hours...
...a claim I found rather odd since there were still tons of Day One systems and regular systems at every store I saw here in Berlin. Apparently it's the same in New York City... and Chicago... and pretty much everywhere else.
Now they claim "most retailers" are sold out...
Except for Toys R Us... Gamestop... Best Buy... Target... and Walmart in the States... and EVERY retailer in Berlin.
Back during the early Wii days Nintendo pulled a fake "Controller Shortage."
Apparently what they did was send every controller on the planet to the Virgin Megastore in Paris. (I made a thread about this at the time and posted photos of controllers piled to the ceiling upstairs and downstairs at that store.)
But I've never heard of a company just flat out LYING about how well they're doing... I can't wait to see sales numbers from independent tracking groups.
