No need for this stealth troll attempt. We all know no other games are ever being made for PS4 right? 3 million must have wanted to play fighter within.

sony should have waited to launch in the smaller countrys. and have enough ps4 for north america and the uk to suplly demend


I somewhat agree with that. The other places are still certainly important, but in America and UK the lack of supply is drawing consumers to the competition.


Now that we see how things turn out, we can say Sony should have done this and should have done that. I am sure most of us got taken by surprise with the numbers the PS4 is putting in terms of sale. I do think that a lot of people got tired of waiting and probably went and buy an Xbox One.

I thinks Sony was so focused on not letting Xbox One have any territory years or month advance that they decided to launch in a lot of regions and countries. But MS realizing Sony is not meeting demand decide to make sure to have enough Xbox One available in case people were tired of waiting.


Sony is making more consoles than Microsoft. A lot more. If they didn't release in as many places they could have had boxes stacked higher than XBONES. I totally agree that back when these decisions needed to be made, releasing in a lot of markets made sense.

Yes. What else would they do? Wait for Titanfall?

Err you do realize that the PS4 is a future investment right? People are buying to play Infamous Second Son, Uncharted 4, GT7, LBP 3, and so on. Did people just buy the XBO because they HAD to play Ryse? 

Why mention a bad metacritic score game??? Why not mention Killer Instinct, Forza 5, and Dead Rising 3, 3 big games that clearly out-variety PS4's one worthwhile exclusive FPS? X1 has great 2014 upcoming games as well.

Just saying people are buying it for the price and the name, not for what is actually available. Which is nice for Sony and allows for bragging rights from fans.

Ok, then why not mention Resogun using that logic? It's the highest rated exclusive on the PS4 and XBO. My point was that most people buy these consoles as a future investment, to get games that are coming later. Most people bought the XBO to play Titanfall or Halo. They didn't pay 500 bucks for Dead Rising 3 or Not Turismo 5. 

I wouldn't have bought the PS4 or XBO if I could only play their launch lineups. I bought so many more exclusives for the PS3 than 360 so that's why I felt comfortable getting a PS4. I know the great exclusives will come, Sony has some of the best developers in the world. It all begins in March with Infamous Second Son. And XBO owners get to enjoy Titanfall, so everybody wins! 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

How nice it would be when you don't have to see people selling them for 500 bucks. Also did Sony just slow down production of the PS4? I really don't understand how supply hasn't caught up to demand. I know there probably saving more PS4s for Japan but still.


It takes a while for shipments to get from the East to the west. In order to have more for Christmas, they shipped some of January's stock by cargo plane making it arrive early.

It's outsold the X1 in every market we have data from, VGChartz or otherwise, except Australia.



chapset on 22 January 2014

Lies, the hype is surely over and the ps4 has no games there's no way it's going to sell more than 50k next week



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Still sold out at places I've checked here in Canada. But you can buy it from Amazon but it ships at the end of February.
I agree with those that say that they should have waited to launch in all those other smaller territories and should have just launched in the major countries. I mean, there was no rush to launch in every territory, since X1 won't even begin to be shipped to those regions till the middle or end of 2014.
