Sony needs to up thier production not having enough consoles is hampering their sales here in the US i have a bunch of friends still trying to get a ps4 and a couple are close to saying F it and grab a X1 from one of many retailers who have them sitting on the shelves.

Technically, Sony doesn't have a production issue.  They have pumped out way more consoles at launch than any other console to date, yet still can't keep up with demand. 


thats true but i just think instead of launching in so many areas they should have focused more on the US and Europe,  i know that alot of those territories arent getting alot of systems but its systems that we need to help fufill peoples wants,  i just get the feeling that in feb when it comes out in Japan supply will only get tighter.

Its the opposite at my Target. PS4s are left in stock while Xbox Ones are being sold like crazy. I work there so I check every few hours and see the same arrangement of PS4s, but the Xbox Ones disappear. It helps that I hear that they have been sold on the walkie too.


city and state please. 

yo must have obnoxious electronics team members if they talk on the walkie fr irrelevant things such as selling something.

It could be for security reasons (easier to catch people trying to steal Xbox Ones/PS4s/big screen TVs/etc if the store security watching the door are aware that nobody has bought one in the electronics department recently).

Are we really still having threads on this?  I thought these systems were both readily available at this point.  I've seen them numerous times in the Cleveland area.

OK, I guess I'll take your word for it, but not so in the Cleveland area according to my experience.  People offloading them at cost (or 20 above) on Craigslist even.

if they arent in a glass case (which they all should be) they should be spider wrapped which makes a blaring sound when tampered with and should be put in a large bag when sold.
