The head of Sony Computer Entertainment, the Japanese electronic group's video gaming division, said holiday sales of its PlayStation 4 gaming console in Europe were so strong that it was fighting to keep up with demand.
"If I look at Europe I think it is potentially, for the second year running, going to be quite inventory challenged," Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House told Reuters on Friday.
He did not give specific numbers, and said the company was doing its best to bolster production and logistics to deal with the strong demand.
"I'm not going to say you won't be able to find a PlayStation 4," he said. "I think it's going to be kind of hand to mouth in terms of that market."
House said December sales in the United States had been in line with the company's earlier expectations, but conditions had been "tougher" in the previous month due to aggressive pricing by its competition.
