PS5 vs. Xbox Series X/S Customer Demand Ratio?

[firstadopter]

Retail store employees,

What is the ratio of customer demand inquiries for Sony PS5 consoles versus Xbox Series X/S consoles?

Thanks.

Wouldn't this be mostly anecdotal and even if it wasn't, largely irrelevant to anybody aside from console warring?

I'm seeing on twitter from store employees that PS5 is in demand more, but it's ultimately a stock issue at the moment. They're both selling out SXes and PS5s. The XSS is the one that hangs around a while but even that is out of stock in some parts.

I'd imagine its about the same its just that Microsoft has been better at sourcing parts to get stock in stores.

Yes, this is entirely pointless.

Yes and a retail employee would only know about the dealings of their store and maybe the surrounding ones.

Even then, it ignores other factors like why would as many customers ask for a console if it was in stock? I would imagine no one is asking employees for the Series S because you can just buy it online or walk in and grab one.

lets start at the top

most people want milk, bread, eggs, and cheese

then you have your staples like pasta and rice, stuff you can buy and keep in the pantry, same with canned foods

then you do meats, large protiens, things you plan a dinner around

then toilet paper, cleaning supplies, laundry soap, etc.

toiletries like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc

then you got pet food and pet supplies, treats, maybe a toy

then you have specialized items, desserts, ice cream, frozen pizza

This reminds me of the Reddit AMA threads and the comments would go along the lines of "....well I'm not a retail store employee, but...."

True and lastly, unless we get actual verification that a commenter works in retail, they could be sprouting lies.

Surely it would just depend on what the specific store has available on shelves at the time? I don't see customers asking about a PS5 if there's one right in front of them. Not exactly sure what the purpose of this question is meant to be?

This you?

Just look to reseller market to gauge demand. The cost of a PS5 is higher.
PS5s are still in way more demand. They've sold more than the other versions and the Series S is now in that part where it has to go on sale to drive demand at times.

people might need an occasional restock of basics

salt, pepper, sugar, spices, flour

but you dont need to rebuy these too often, they keep for a long time and are usually used sparsely

next is maybe fresh fruits and vegetables, you need to buy these weekly or by-weekly

This is useless and will only be used for console warring. We're not doing this here.
