Cool update... in line with others guys that I asked.

Can you say if your store is receiving more PS4 supply? Because it is sold out in almost evevrywhere.

Apparenlty news is circling that PS4 has some "Kinect-like" capabilities, as well as the nifty Playroom App/Game. Many have started to snag PS4 Eye Cameras for it.

My local store only reeived 2 PS4 Eyes. I'm still waiting for one. How is the supply of the camera in your case? Any new shipments coming in soon?

The problem is we don't know whats coming in before it does. We get a list of ambiguous box bar code numbers and we only discover whats inside once we get it. There might be a way to tell but I don't know it and I imagine its tedious.

Officially, we don't have any till Black Friday, even tho we have some in the store right now.

I believe we got around 12 of them. I sold the last one this morning to a girl getting her BF to get it so she can play in the Playroom and Just Dance 2014.

No idea when we will get more but like most retail, selling games and accessories is the most important because thats where we make profit. So I expect some more soon.

"Mid afternoon today we got a shippment specifically for Black Friday.  We can't sell any of it till the 29th. Aggrevating really. We get shipment every day so there is a strong chance we can recieve almost what our original amount was for release."

Hot damn. They are planning a huge BF week. This PS4 week will be absolutely monstrous WW if this is true for the entire NA. EU launch + basically a second NA launch . Glorious


I seriously believe Sony will have a 3.5 million minimum before Year's end(if they can get enough supply out. With EU launch on the same day as US Black Friday(Do they do BF in EU?) it should double day one at least. Anyone remember what Sony's extimate was for now till March?

At this point its up to Sony how much they wanna sell. They have to ship the consoles first :P

Europe doesnt need black friday to sell as many PS4 day one as US on BF :p

 

What numbers do you expect this week ? Do you think thy had supplies to counter the One launch or did they keep that for BF ?



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
