Isn't it simply down to the fact that Sony have to supply 48 countries now??? So obviously stock will be spread thin!

Love how this thread was hijacked. Considering the OP had no case at all and no conversation to start/continue then i guess it is for the better

Sony is supplying into nearly 50 markets now. So that means spreading themselves thin in each market. The problem they are having is manufacturing capacity, but they're not having technical problems, like the rumoured "low yield-gate" of Xb one.

The question is whether Sony brings factories on line for PS4 in advance of their original plans, or whether they stick to the programme. I think it's too early to bring things forward, both for MS and Sony, because they need to see what happens to demand in Q1 2014.

probably yield issues

In other words you made it up based on other consoles.

My position is unchanged due to lack of alternative evidence.

My source in the uk I have been following this site: http://www.stockinformer.co.uk/checker-ps4-playstation-4

Any stock that comes in lasts literally  minutes.

Sony is having shortages because they are closer to the brink of failure as a company then people realize. If they made 4 - 5 million to start and they did'nt sell, they would be screwed big time. Its what happens when your TVs stop selling, your handheld flops hard, and 90 percent of your 1st party games cant even crack 2 million sold. It may sound harsh but if the PS4 isn't a massive success over the course of its life, the PS5 may never come.

Looking pretty good so far.
