nOd3N1AL, do you own a PS4 or Xbox One? <---
^ ?
Here's my opinion on the entire dislike for the "forced" kinect inclusion: If you don't like the idea of having "1984" in your house, then don't hook up the kinect. Just because "Skynet" wants to watch you doesn't mean you have to let them, right? lol....
Seriously though, both consoles are selling out all over. The XB1 might be in stock while the PS4 isn't in some places, but that isn't the case everywhere. I've seen threads of people saying the PS4 was on the shelf but the XB1 wasn't. So, it depends on location, and it depends on what that area's demand is. I'm no expert in gaming demographics, but overall sales numbers say that both are doing great and there is obviously a demand for both consoles all over the country.

If you don't like the idea of the kinect being included, I'm sorry you feel that way. We all know it drove the price of the console up, but that doesn't mean you should have a choice in the matter. Until Microsoft allows a Kinect-free XB1 to sale, you have no choice. So do us all a favor and stop complaining about it. You can't spill your biased opinion in a pro XB1 thread and expect to not get some heat.
I've been loyal to MS and use their products. Windows, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Outlook, SkyDrive, Windows Phone etc. But i think a lot of people have felt betrayed. The Xbone is selling out because of low supply rather than high demand. It's also a substitute for the PS4; which is in greater demand due to its lower price but better hardware, PS Plus, F2P games etc.
And... the almighty question I have is... Do you own both a XB1 and PS4? If so, then I'd say your opinion has more clout and backing. But, until you have both and have spent plenty of time with both, how can you say one console is better than the other? If you don't own both, you're a outsider looking in and you have no valid first hand impressions or opinion. What you're doing is going off pure speculation, which isn't worth anything really.
