There are only 2 colors for the PS4 in Japan so if one is sold out that means half of the supplies is sold out assuming they have the same shipment. And there might be some stores that only ordered white models for all we know so for them the PS4 has been sold out for two weeks now. Shortages don't have to be nationwide to have an impact on sales. It happens progressively before it becomes what it is now. It's as the word implies: "a deficiency or lack in the amount needed, expected, or due". So we have the confirmation now that the PS4 has been seeing shortages for the past two weeks. I didn't blame shortages last week and this week because we didn't have confirmation but now that we do I don't see why it should be overlooked. |
I don't think it was ever 50/50, the black model always felt like the standard and still will be based on all leaks so far, maybe someone from Japan can comment like Hiska about past weeks. (Wait is HIska from Japan?, or someone who was following it closely).
