250k?? LMAo its going to do more then that.

It's crazy Sony is going to have no stock for the boost that Infamous will create.

I prefer to be wrong with a lower amount than wrong with a higher amount.

Titanfall is coming out right around then. I think Sony would be smart to limit PS4 shipments for the end of Feb so that March can get a bump from infamous and not push people into buying XBONEs.

Just don't be misled by all this high demand. It is a short term thing. We live in a console age where front loaded sales is the norm, and this will also apply to PS4. AND last gen was so long that there is much more pent up demand this time than there has been for the start of previous generations. People who bought PS3 in 2006/7/8 are all ready and willing to buy a new console. Whereas in the past only people who bought in the first year or 18 months were ready to buy a new console in the launch period.

Demand will taper off fast once all that early gen craziness has worked itself out. Just like Wii was a fad that went on for a quite a while, PS4 demand is also a fad, of sorts, that will fade.

PS4 will not outsell PS3 lifetime. Growth in the console market is a myth, it's gonna shrink this gen.

Having said that, current numbers are still impressive and I will enjoy them while they last.

While the PS4 is currently outselling the Wii when aligning their timeframes, Sony has also been better at producing supply.  Nintendo was also burned so badly by the Gamecube's modest sales that their production of the Wii ended up way behind demand.

PS4 demand is extraordinary and is still not readily available at all times, but it has been available for days at a time here and there such as the big Amazon shipments last month and last week at many Best Buy stores, no waiting in line necessary.  To my knowledge, the Wii was never available for days at a time throughout any of its first year.

Kinda outta touch with reality, huh? Must be nice. The real world suckssss =(  lol 

Yeah... I kinda 100% agree with everything you said. PS4's haven't been available here though, but it's a densly populus area and I'm sure the demand is much higher than the supply available here. Most places, small cities, towns, what have you... there will be some demand sure, but the supply can more easily meet the demand. I think that is why we have some reports of them in stores, and some others saying how they are sold out within minutes. I think both are correct. 

Again though.. I totally see where you're coming from with your comment and it's kinda hard to argue against it. I do remember trying to get a Wii like 8 months after launch and STILL having a hard time. I think it's scary and hard to imagine that a traditional console like the PS4 could have the same demand for something as revolutionary as the Wii at the time. So far, the numbers don't lie. But I too, see it impossible to keep this up and soon demand will subside considerably. Although I also NEVER thought it would be anywhere close to where it is already. So I'm just gonna wait and see! 

@bolded:  Yeah, I completely agree with your point here.  I've said that as well; the Wii was a phenomenon at a mass-market price and came bundled with a game that was revolutionary that everyone was talking about.  The PS4, on the other hand, doesn't have any particular game that is moving the console en masse and is not in the "impulse buy" price range, yet its sales are amazing.

I think that it comes down to two main things:  First, the PS4 is a sure thing for the 8th gen, regardless of what the competition does.  Even if someone is considering picking up a WiiU or an XB1 somewhere down the line, the PS4 is definitely a safe buy for anyone who is anxious to jump into next-gen because it'll have all of the big 3rd party games - and the best versions at that.

And second, most people are aware that there won't be a price reduction any time soon, and the price is not prohibitively expensive at $399.  Sony is in no position financially to take a loss by dropping the price, and even if they could, it would be absurd to leave money on the table when the console is selling the way it is currently - not to mention that their closest competitor is the one who will need a price drop first.

I have to say, I don't get it at all. I don't understand what's selling the thing right now given the complete lack of games out (not that I'm complaining exactly, I want the PS4 to crush the competition). I thought the supply issues would be completely ironed out by the second week of January. I thought we were going to see sales drop to around 80k per week.

I keep thinking that time is finally going to come, and perhaps it finally will come around April or May... But man, these sales are just bizarre. I know we're at least at the point where if you really want a PS4, you can use online trackers and nab one without too much hassle, but it's just retarded that you can't just walk into any store that carries electronics and pick one up in the middle of February with no hassle.
