Yeah, forgot about the PSN codes thing, that seemed to be resolved quite quickly though.

I still see no reason why Amazon would deliberately miss out on PS4 sales though, makes little sense really as the damn things are obviously still selling gangbusters.

Depends.

If Sony for instance would have cut down a more or less large chunk of the retailer margin, shops like Gamestop are in no position to argue as it still represents the largest part of their income by extension (selling hardware means selling the same customers the games also most of the time - and it's the games which normally have the better margins for retailers) but Amazon or Walmart who sell lots of different things have stable income from other stuff they sell and thus can fight back like not stocking Sony articles anymore.

That's a good point.
