I provided links. Not able to click and read yourself? All I'm doing is reading the available data. What would be crazy is to see all this data and not understand the ps4 has stock issues.

If they did not have interest in ps4 then it wouldn't be sold out at major online JP retailers. Interest is clearly there. Stock, however, is not.

A 4 year old console having stock problems, do you realize how crazy you sound?

That's no crazy at all, MS has the same issue as with Xbox one, it is not available on many sites or in many shops because of 'Stock issues' it is so sad because it is obivious that stock issues or no availability means a huge interest in Japan.

Damn, not a good week. Has the Switch YTD passed the PS4 YTD now?

Edit: To answer my own question. No but it'll happen next week. Right now it's 734,253 vs 724,178 in favor of the PS4.

Is PS4 still out of stock? wtf get that fixed Sony.



Megiddo on 11 April 2018

It is pathetic. I wholly agree. Sony needs to release some damn inventory already so its not out of stock online.

Really wondering what's up at Sony if the supplies are that low that it can't even sell 15k in Japan anymore. This is getting pretty ridiculous, the stocks eaten up by MHW should have long been replenished by now. I wonder what's keeping them from doing so?

3DS needed huge price drop in order to start selling in first place, Switch is selling good without any price drop.

was the 3ds doing 40k weekly before the price drop? it doesnt matter though. 40k isnt too bad. its doing ok i suppose

I dont know, but there is reason why 3DS had such a huge price drop less than 6 months after launch, and I dont see how 40k without new releases can be ridiculously low in any case.

very low compared to the 3ds. 3ds was doing 70-80k regularly. 40k isnt good for a nintendo handheld

Well it's a hybrid so it has the benefit of being a handheld and a home console which 3ds didn't. 

 

Anyway I really really hope ps4 sales are due to supply. Maybe Sony are preparing for a price drop, maybe a super slim is coming at e3 and Japan will be getting limited supply until then. 

 

I will make sure to say my prayers to the console gods every night until then.

 

Anyway good week for ninu kuni, far cry and siege.
