Forums - Sony Discussion - GameStop RAISES price on hard-to-find PS4 camera

Gamestop is a shady company, frequenting the store makes you susceptible to their behavior. If only people would stop going there en-masse.

It's selling so much better than expected. The playroom is such a killer app.

Lots of devs were kinda bummed when they found out the camera wasn't bundled. The great sales however are bringing back developer interest. Heck even the next major PS4 update takes care of a lot of minor camera issues. We never would have seen things happening this fast if it was selling poorly.

It would be really funny if the camera outsold the Kinect in the long run. I know it won't happen, but the possibility is there.

Yes, yes, spill the beans! Is it coming in this century at least? I was going to ask you about firmware update news btw.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Whos buying these? there are like Zero games that use it lol

broadcasting + playroom. its apperantly pretty popular. playroom is becoming the PS eyes "killer app".

Sony should open up a new XXX rated streaming service and allow playroom to be streamed through there.  


that would make them shit loads of money, because basically amatuer porn is a gold mine.

man is live broadcasting becoming a huge thing. i dont think Sony anticipated the demand for the camera, this is obviously a pleasant surprise for them and the camera so far has been a huge success.


yeah but seriously, what is a realistic attach rate?!   30% at the most.  it's not like there is anything you can do with it aside from twich broadcasting.  so how is it they can't keep the damn thing in stock?!  it's just a f*&#ing camera.  how hard could it be to manufacture...

dont ask me lol. i guess maybe they are playing it safe? just producing a little and selling them without over producing? idk. the thing is, if somebody wants a camera, they will get it once its available, sony will most likely not lose the sale, just delay it a bit. but i dont know, im just talking out of my ass here.

..and yet kinect (via the associated extra cost) is to blame for xbone's lagging sales.   this defies explination.

If Kinect was unbundled, they'd be sold out of Xbox Ones AND Kinects.

I seriously doubt that. Maybe now that they finally added Twitch streaming that might be the case but the PS4s camera is selling well due to the PS4 having that functionality at launch.

If the shoe were on the other foot the PS4 camera would have been DOA.



That is because their are some people who love that people watch them, their are even some Japanese girls who just sleep and still let the camera on, seriously who are those perverts who watch those streams?
