Forums - Sony Discussion - PlayStation 4 sales still screaming, Sony says PS4 ‘generally sold out at all retailers’

My local gamestop (ebgames) in Quebec still have no ps4, plenty of xbox one, he also told me that 1/3 of its xbox one sales were from people looking for ps4 but still could not get one. They wanted to switch to next gen quickly so they had to get an xbox.

I've got both here....best of both worlds.



RIP ps3, xbox360.

welcome home ps4 and X1

Largely sold out, not sold out in every store known to man , you are trying to hard. Stock checkers show they are right.

Sony also said that it has increased its market share among what the company categorizes as “heavy gamers.”

Be curious how one quantifies heavy gamers. Number of titles owned, amount of time per week spent playing, etc.


Heavy  gamers ~= Hardcore gamers

 

Gamers who play diferent type of games(RPG,Third person,Sandbox,Shooter,Sports,etc...) and,consequently, buy a lot of games.

 

Dudebros usually play a limited(shooters) number(shooters) of games(shooters).

 

Casuals usually play a limited(just dance) number of games(just dance).

You and your obligatory stupid digs...

Maybe if you could read, you'd be able to understand this part correctly:

“PS4’s are generally sold out at all retailers although regular supply is refreshing the channel”

All of Hampton Roads VA is exactly how they say here. I check all the gamestop's in my area constantly so I have something to tell the customers. Virtually none in my area. We still have some of the same XBO's from Christmas time. Gamestop's Layaway plan is working to widdle our XBO stock tho. We had gotten a huge batch of PS4s in last week..........gone in 2 days. None coming this weak either which sucks :/

Also, Sony needs to send out more PS4 Cameras, they are surprisingly popular. Many are saying the Playroom demo has caught their attention. Haven't seen any more since second round of shipments.

PSN:Forevercloud (looking for Soul Sacrifice Partners!!!)

Well no shit. I predict a happy investors meeting at the fiscal year's end.

Exactly.  This isn't like when MS stated they were mostly sold out, yet there were hundreds still on shelves in EU and stock trackers showed it available in several stores in the US.  Sony says mostly sold out and they mean it.



If MS said this everyone would immediately claim "they are are lying".
