Blood_Tears on 19 March 2014

Hmm game data pages didn't update this week for sales, hopefully it's not a revisit to the trend we had of that last year.

The more time goes by, the more sad that excuse is. Sony is a multibillion international corporation.....and they can't hire another factory to make more consoles. Please.

Yahh "hire" a factory (wtf) and boom a million more ps4s just like that, truely the mentality of a child.

lol please. You know what I mean. You lack supply, then you ramp up. I am not familiar with exactly how you do that, but I believe Sony does, and is just moving slow on this.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

2 weeks ago the gap was 2.4 million between the PS4 and the X1 and in those two weeks the PS4 has sold 150,000 more consoles than the X1 but that gap is still 2.4 million. How does that work out?

Maybe some adjustements.  

Though it looks a bit strange.

As you said yourself, you've no idea what you are talking about. It could be that Sony's internal analysis suggested opening a new factory would not be beneficial.

It's not that simple. Nintendo didn't "just ramp up" Wii production in the first year for exactly the same reason.

It costs a fortune to set up a production line (and takes a long time). It's likely the launch frenzy would have been satisfied by the time the new line would be ready to go and so all the money would just be completely wasted.
