^^ What banana said. Sony need to give Amazon a much bigger commitment of stock. Hopefully they are seeing the response and are increasing production.

i hope the demand is also present at other stores. if sony push this like they did with the destiny bundle we could see a huge burst in sales. if things keep going the way it is i dont expect that much of a bump in june. 

How many do you think Sony can realistically produce? And for a global market.

They can't box up and distribute the bundles yet because they don't have a game that's gone gold yet (have they?). So if they are stockpiling the consoles they are sitting waiting to be bundled and boxed and shipped. This isn;t like a destiny situation where Sony can just pump out plain white consoles and sell any surplus as stand alone units. There's a bit more logistical complexity in making an actual limited edition console for global distribution.

Still, I think Sony would be mad to produce anything less than 250K of these bad boys. They would possibly sell that many in the USA alone.

Availability of the bundle in NZ is currently pretty decent, so maybe it is just an Amazon thing. Perhaps it's Amazon that is only doing piecemeal ordering.
