Ah, well that sucks. I still think the PS4 is going to outsell the Xbox One by a large margin.

Perhaps at first. Just hope Sony's learned from their previous venture in not making enough to sell! http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=211

I am glad to see Microsoft cave on this stuff. Honestly the way to go for these new systems is to wait 12-18 months. Then you get to see a sizable selection of games for both, and all of the launch run glitches and bugs get worked out. And hopefully the price comes down $100 each in that time frame as well.

This is what I did and I knew they would likely cave before launch day. All my buddies that were complaining had also pre-ordered the first day of E3 and couldn't understand when I was telling them that these companies only existed to make money and complaining meant nothing when you already committed your buying dollars to them.

It's going to be a lot closer than you think and besides... who cares? The closer the competition the better for the consumer anyway unless you're some sort of a brand-loyal fanboi. It's going to be a fun winter for gaming!

I'm thinking I should pre-order an XBone just to see if the resale value sky rockets after launch day...

I'm thinking you should not. I don't see supply as being an issue, those days are over I think.

Very little risk to play the game. I made over $10k on the release of the original 360 and I don't see the One coming anywhere near that demand but that doesn't mean I won't buy a few just in case.

Don't lie. You're thinking I should not because I'm a broke mofo. Not because I won't make money.

I agree with the little risk part. I don't know... I do know I'll be pre ordering a PS4 though.

You're not the only one. I have a lot of friends that are current Xbox 360 players who have said they are pre-ordering PS4 and just keeping the 360. Microshit really kicked a lot of gamers in the crotch and they are pretty pissed about it.
