Nah Amazon got a lot of bundle stock in the UK, there were meant to be 300k ps4 on release day, some got delayed until that week, I should know my ps4 players bundle arrived and so did many others according to Amazon chat.

yes, it represents almost 50% of sales in Europe, and when we know that the PS3 was dominant in Europe  while it was the Xbox360 in the UK, 74 000 looks too high.
 
 


So..., PS4 sold 102k in USA and 73k in UK???. This means 2 posibilities....

A) UK Overtracked (VGC's fault).
B) Confirmation USA is suffering huge supply issues (Sony's fault).

If it's B, Sony MUST start fixing this problem inmediately, because they should've sold 2 or 3 times more easily in USA.

It's not just USA, in France and Belgium the PS4 is sold out in all the stores, and when I read the comments of members or other social networks it looks to be the same in other countries (UK, Germany, Spain, Italy ...)



Hey the 74k is certainly possible, almost all the Amazon uk bundles were processed in week 2. There was 50k of launch stock which was held up mostly bundles. Mcv and eurogamer both quoted 300k and I read somewhere only 250k arrived. So that explains the large amount and considering killzone was 50k it's well doable.

I think it has been seriously overtracked. It's been sold out since launch over here basically.
