Man, what are you talking about? If both are selling out, they both have a demand. That is pretty clear. lol
My point is that since both PS4 and Xbox One are sold out, we can't see the demand because it's limited by supply available. We have to wait until neither is sold out to truly see the actual demand

This is the funniest comment in this entire thread.

Yes, people here are dumb. How can they not see that you can't figure out the demand of a product that keeps selling out right away.
To his defense, it seems like he's arguing you can't tell actual total demand, not that there is no demand.
e.g. is demand 5m units? you don't know because only 2m units are supplied. you only know demand > 2m units, not the exact level of demand.
At least, that's what I think he's getting at.
Well he came in here all fired up about "more people would buy it if there was no kinect". How does that work when the supply doesn't keep up with the demand even with the kinect included?

finally, someone with an iq above 50
thought you were done? again, you should go take an economics course because you have no clue how it works. start with econ101.
OK i am done. People are simply too dumb here. I am saying you can't put a figure on the demand (i.e. How many people WANT a console and are willing to buy at current prices) because they're sold out! Demand could be anything above supply. If sold out at2 million, demand could be 3 million, 5 million etc. The only gauge is the price. The PS4's price compared to retail is higher than Xbox One's markup due to scarcity. PS4 is selling for about £450 whilst Xbone for £450 too, but Xbone is £430 retail whilst PS4 is £350.
I'm doing an Econ degree. You guys are so dumb it would be better if you never knew what the word meant. Lesson learnt: people on forums are dumb morons that just want to call others trolls without any attempt at understanding what I'm saying.
If you could figure out this demand then you'd be a product market researcher, which I'm sure both companies have. You think Microsoft and Sony don't do demographic research? They can only make so many consoles, and right now, neither company can make enough consoles to keep them in stock across the world. So in summary, the demand is high. lol?
yes, but HOW high? We don't know. The pricing indicates PS4 is in slightly greater demand (in the UK at least).
of course, MS would be mad NOT to bundle Kinect given that it's selling out. But in the future, when supply >= demand, they may consider a kinect-less Xbone to boost sales
I'd probably opt for the kinect-less one, but I don't mind buying the Kinect. It does get minimal use now, just not enough for me to buy it separately.
But in my view, MS doesn't really care about its fans, it just wants to maximize profit at any cost.
Exactly. You still buy it even if you don't explicitly WANT Kinect; thus paying a higher price than you need to. MS taking full advantage because they will still sell all their units produced. In the long run, they'd benefit from Kinectless Xbone. But in my view, MS doesn't really care about its fans, it just wants to maximize profit at any cost.
Oh dear
