Those that still wanted to pre-order the upcoming PS4 in Japan got a last chance before launch today, even if it was a rather short-lived one.

Amazon Japan tweeted this morning that a “last batch” of the First Limited Pack was available for preorder. Two hours later the allocated units were already sold out.

According to what was said today during Sony’s earnings calls, the Japanese launch of the PS4 is expected to bolster the already considerable sales numbers of the console. Given that it sold out pretty much immediately every time it was made available for pre-order, that wouldn’t be very surprising.

Can't wait for the numbers

Can be anything between 10 units and 500.000 units...Why not just tell the numbers?

Are there any indications to what the total preorder numbers were? Wii U sold around 300k in Japan at launch, so I am guessing 500k to 1m for PS4 is possible?

It depends stock ^^

If SONY brings 200k, it will sell 200k

If SONY brings 400k, it will sell 400k

Ok, wild guess time. Assuming they make 1.5 million consoles per month, and assuming they have been producing since the beginning of October, that would mean they would have roughly 7.5 million consoles manufactured by the end of February. Since about 4.5 million were already accounted for by the end of 2013, assume another million will go to Europe and another 1 million will go to the US, leaving us with 1 million consoles for Asia / Japan. Assuming about 250k go to Asia, Japan should have about 750k consoles available at launch.

So my wild prediction is that they will sell 750k in Japan in their first week. Anybody with me?

600k first week. 50k second week.

Damn I hope Sony are bringing the stock. This launch could be huge =D

When does it launch?

22nd Feb
