They don´t have 3mi to sell before Christmass. They probably don´t have 2mi untill next week.

If they waste all PS4 suppply at smaller markets they are screwed.

There is no magic tree ripped with PS4 to pick and a magic supplay chain ready to delivere then to every custumer that wants it.

it is a lot harder and takes more time to plan and deliver for 30 countries than it is for 1. If you think Sony couldnt have just included a crapload more units if they decided to concentrate on 1 market then you are flat out wrong. 


Yes, and that is because countries in South America and  some in Europe will reciave only a small supply of token unities.

And there is the marketing and advertising to go arround also. 

And no, I don´t think Sony could have sold more than 1mi in NA day one. That is the hardcore market. And it was the easy part. IS the Europe hardcore market 1mi also? Will Sony sacrifice NA blackfriday for it?

I have my doubts Sony will sell much more than 500K next friday in Europe.

I said it before: day one is not important. It´s just a marketing tool to get people atention and debate.


You said a post before that Sony could sell 3M if they had stock, and then say they couldn't sell more than 1M... please decide yourself.


IF they had 3mi they would sell 3mi in two or three weeks.

I think a safe number is 2mi (2,5mi if you are realy optmistic) and Sony has to feed the NA market for BF and prepare fo Christmass WW.

So, how much is left fo Europe day one?

I don´t recall if Sony estimative of 5mi until March takes into account the Japanease launch. Any way, I´m using the Michael Pachter model of 1mi units for month, production starting in september.

1mi day one NA 

1mi day one EU  

1,5mi hollydays NA 

1,5mi hollydays EU 

500k Japan 

1mi rest of the world hollydays

So, unless Sony is underestimating their potential, that´s the reason why I belive Sony won´t give "second tier" countries that many units as some here belive.

That is what we will have.

1mi day on NA

700k day one EU

1,2mi hollydays NA

800mi hollydays EU

500k Japan day one

300k rest of the world
