A few things that have happened recently:

PS4 has been in stock on Amazon UK for several hours now, still over 1k available

Knack/KZ bundles have also been in stock at Amazon UK for a while now, and tracking shows they aren't flying off the virtual shelves

PS4 has been in stock at Best Buy.com (one of largest USA chains) for at least 32+ hours now, still in stock.

More anectodal reports of PS4 stock at American brick and mortar stores.

Thread topic says it all. The evidence seems to point that PS4 shortages may be near the end. But they still sell out quickly at Amazon USA.

If anything Amazon UK is getting PS4 stocks, and visibly a decent amount of it, not really the same when i checked the French or German Amazon website.

And somehow Amazon UK and France seems to be the only one getting stock of the infamous bundle, tho the French one is about to run dry.

So the thread is invalid after 30 minutes? Well...

Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Haha! I'm not sure it's invalid, but there are too many variables to take into account when trying to gauge the demand for the console. As I said, a lot of us folk in the UK are broke this month as we have a six week period without pay, plus Christmas falls within those six weeks! A lot of people struggle at this time of year, but the Killzone bundle did just sell out so people are obviously still spending. I imagine more consoles will sell once we hit that first pay-day at the end of the month!

Oh boy, were going to need tin foil hats for the end of January sales data, that gaps going to widen even more, then split wide open next month for Japanese launch.

Ps4 found its stride and that stride is seemingly an all out sprint compared to Xbox ones brisk jog and the wiiu's post McDonalds walk.

I have seen ps4 and Xboxone in store since 8th. I find online stores to not be a good way to judge demand. Amazon is always under stocked.

I think many Brazilians are buying through Amazon US...

Wow! I never would have thought the PS4 would sell that much! How much exactly is a Brazilian?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Looks like people are no longer desperate enough to buy whatever bundle is on offer. Though perhaps once the more popular bundles go Knack will sell out, followed by the vanilla PS4. Seems like the FPS bundles are almost all gone. Only Knack and the vanilla console are actually in stock with Amazon. The rest are all through 3rd party sellers.
