in my country it is not sold out you can find it in any electronic store.


Same and I can vouche for 7 Gamestops friends work at that they got enough stock to cover pre-order + and extra 25% to sell at door.

This seems like a myth used to justify low sales. Not sure how sales increse with no stock from 93k to 165k, its impossible.


Considering both the X1 and the PS4 are quickly catching up with the Wii-u which has been out for a whole year I dont think anyone is trying to justify their sales numbers in a defensive way.

 Once pre-orders are filled by fans that buy regardless of games, then sales are nose diving hard.

  93k and 165k in peak sales month are not great, damage control is needed.

Live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The PS4 is sold out here, have heard of sporadic drop shipments that are gone as soon as they appear. Was talking to an employee of a major retailer, and he said by the time their inventory updates the units are already gone.

The real story no one wants to talk about is that Sony is a financial disaster and even they do everything right with the ps4 its unlikely they will see out the ps4's lifespan. Because they are in such a big hole that they can never dig themselves out off. Only hope is breaking up the company and selling it off or they will lose everything.

Just outside Vancouver. Found 20 at a local best buy. The guy working there told me they just shipped in and that they'd be sold out within the hour.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Great. You know, people have been saying that for years, I can't even count how man times I heard about how Sony is never going to release a console after the PS3 and how the company is on the brink of collapse, it's getting old. Sure, I think nobody is going to deny that Sony as a whole is not in the best financial position, but their gaming division is here to stay, they just gotta realize that the Vita is not a viable platform in the west and looking at how western support (aside from indie games) is dwindling, I'd say they're pretty much onto that.

Also it's hilariously obvious that you want to see the PS4 and X1 fail, just to feel better about the Wii Us mild reception, really mature buddy.
