Is Sony uncapable of shipping 5k weekly? Have their financial condition been so bad they can't produce more?/joking

Hope to hell they are axing it, but possibly just no stock as they switched to new model and old sold out. Plus its not like they were running production at high capacity.

probably the first shop in the us sold through its launch stock



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

They probably stopped manufacturing the damn thing and are just shipping the spare stock they've built up. This will be it's last year outside of Japan and we won't see another handheld from them again.

I wouldn't be surprised if stores just didn't order any units at Sony

They only want to produce just enough to meet demand

Sony is probably thinking that if they stop shipping Vitas everyone will just forget about the handheld.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Got a lot of great answers, even the joking ones have a big amount of truth on them.

Sony knows there's not enough demand so they're shipping small numbers on purpose.

Sony has been using VGC for tracking, so they thought they only sold 5K instead of 50K in May, and figured that the stock will last them until New Years.
