Forums - Sony - Sony apologizes for PS Vita stock shortages (Now with Media Create!)

KingKazuma34 on 12 April 2013

Pretty good news, happy that the Vita is finally starting to sell. Hopefully a price cut comes to US and EU so sales can really start picking up. Vita is great and I am so happy with mine!

So the latest 19k in Japan was due to shortages. Good.

Stop copying, Sony. Nintendo created artificial shortages first!

It will still stabilize at about 15k a week.

I'm sure sony could have found 10 chinese kids to produce those 5 to 10 thousand extra units a week..This is really bad management.. Its not like they need 100.000 extra units a week..

Well that's a good sign. Hopefully a bump next week then


Unfortunately there might not be a bump until the end of the month if they're saying they will be ready by Golden Week. Many retailers are still out of stock.

Sony Store - Only Blue available

Yodobashi - Only Black available

Amazon - Only Black available

Not counting the Toukiden special edition preorders for June.


Why are you using the word only. 

They are available. The end. 


Because they are the only color that are available? If you say blue is available but not reassuring that other colors are not available that means the other colors aren't sold out. Pretty simple concept to understand.

All this proves is they have scaled back production due to poor sale levels and perhaps got caught out by a few weeks of a boost. How the hell can they not keep up with such low demand? Anyhow, they will catch up soon as sales are dropping alarmingly.


not really they are always faily low.. but there again atleast Sony is suporting its platform with lots of games.

Shortages? I don't know if I should laugh or cry cause if they can't produce 20K a week for the shops in Japan then there is something wrong in production.
