Announced on their FB Page last night!

Reading around the internet apparently there's actually many people lining up at best buys LOL

This reminds me of when Wii had lines back in Jan 07 whenever it came back in stock!

Could be a twitter excerpt from the Nov release.

You go make Chad Warden proud.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Ugh. If you want proof just go on twitter and the hundreds of tweets yesterday about people waiting inline for a PS4.

But Dark Feanor says demand and supply have been met in the US.

From what I saw at Target last night.

10 X1s
0 PS4s

I would expect the ratio to be the same at BestBuy and Gamestop, which are all within 0-2 miles of each other.

Every time we see proof that there is great demand for PS4...there's that one guy that just doesn't want to believe and will fight endlessly because it's not his favorite console, truly sad and pathetic.

It's funny how no matter how much it's shown that PS4 stock is lower than demand, it's just "anecdotal", no matter how far and wide people are from and how many stores they've been to that have no stock; and no matter how much it's shown that XBone stock is just piling up, it's just "anecdotal", no matter how far and wide people are from and how many stores they've been to that have loads of XBones available.

Even though the numbers show the PS4 is selling significantly more than XBone and sites like WiiAlerts.com, NowInStock.net, and ZooLert.com all show the PS4 is out of stock and XBone is in stock

Now it's only two pics, but when a random guy says he hasn't seen PS4s on display you scream PROOF!!!! Jesus dude, why don't you go and investigate some other conspiracy.


My friend, I will tell you for the last time here.

Anedoctal evidence is anedoctal.

Don't you remember the week before Christmass? It was the same thing, after 2 weeks with low supply Sony had a big shippment of PS4 for the US. We have the same kind of reaction here. And on that case, there were more retailers with stock (Amazon, Walmart and BB) and the stock last longer.

What about the BlackFriday week? It was a doom and gloon because there were a much more XOne after that week and no PS4.

And, at the end of the day we had two NPD reports that showed that I was more close to the real figure than many of you here (and NeoGaf).

The fact that the PS4 has been sold out dosen't mean it's a very high demand. Is this that hard to understand? OR you won't be satisfied with next month NPD numbers again?

how do I economics?



AnthonyW86 on 20 January 2014

I expected it to be sold out until the end of January but this is topping even my expectations. Even if they could start meeting demand in the next month, the have a Japanese launch to prepare for. PS4 could be in short supply till spring it seems.



kitler53 on 20 January 2014

ignoring all the arguments leading to bans...


...i just think it's pretty cool that ps4 can have this much demand. i was very pessimistic and worried about consoles this gen after the vita and wiiU did so poorly and even the 3DS which did well but still saw a pretty big contraction GenOverGen. seeing ps4 (and yes even xbone) doing well makes me happy.

i like playing games, morever i like playing deep games that can only be found on consoles/PCs, and i want the industry to do well enough that i can keep playing. this is reaffirming.

Maybe this is certain parts of the country because I'm in So Cal and saw PS4's sitting out no problem in both Gamestop and BestBuy yesterday. No crowds, no lines, no issues. I was out buying a used balance board for our Wii U.
