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.

Seems to be plenty of em at the stores in my area. Anectodal I know, just saying.

There is potential for it...

Well I don't think you're going to have any issue finding a PS4 and I think that's good for Sony

The retailers in my city have enough (Saturn has about 30+ as of yesterday, I'd say), maybe smaller european countries will run into stock problems, I think the big markets will have enough supply.

Hmm. US sales are doing "as expected" in December, while November sales apparently suffered due to XB1 deals. Too bad we have to play the guessing game...is 1m/week in line with such expectations? 750k/week? 500k/week?!

Wow saturn still exist? In belgium they are replayed by Media market and.....Saturn >>>>>>>>>>Media market

It looks like their are enough PS4's in stock here aswell.

"I think it's going to be kind of hand to mouth in terms of that market."

That's a surprisingly good way to put it lol

Its a sweet problem but at the end of the day its a problem.

My local media markt got a shitload of new PS4 the other day, they are EVERYWHERE. But they are also selling really really fast. Oh, and the Vita is sold out! But only because they discounted EVERY bundle to 99 €... I got myself two of those. :P

They will lose many potential console sales if the PS4 is sold out again. They may be able send a few 100k consoles from other markets.
