Forums - Sony - Sony: PS4 in limited supply until April

I really wish the system was a bit more available. The impulse buying consumers are buying XBO simply because PS4 isn't available anywhere.

Also where are the Cameras???? So many people are asking about when we will get more Camera's in so they can fiddle with PlayRoom and Just Dance 14.


Going from X1 sales (more so in the major Euro markets where it has launched ) I don't think there can be many of those "impulse buyers".

If what you say is true then I hate to think what the X1 sales would be like in that region. Actually at 10K I don't think it can get much worse.

The anti-Sony brigade had been trying hard to make out the PS4 console is readily available but recently they seem to have given up.

Fits with recent expectations this.

They said before that they expected supply to be sorted by Feb, with ~5 Million done by the end of the FY.

With the PS4 blowing away all expectations, it makes sense that the supply situation would be reworked.


the mere fact that they beat their FY projection 2 months early (and without the japan launch) just highlights how much more ps4 is selling than sony's expectations.   logistics are a bitch but they'll get it sorted out eventually.

It's going be rather unusual if the manage to hit 7 million by March 31st (which is within the realm of possibility). That would exceed the intital projection by a massive 40%. Crazy stuff.

I would think the 7 million as long as Japan numbers are good will be very easily sold plus more.

7 M would be immense, still remember people laughing that Sony thought they could do 5M before fiscal year, Crazy sales.

It's still outsold in my country and most of Europe till March. I'm going to be really pissed off if i still can't find one by the time that MGS Phantom releases!

In the Netherlands no online shop has PS4 in stock, mostly talking about 'pre-orders' and not even estimating a date of delivery. I still don't understand the hype, expected sales to bomb by now. Why does everybody want one? Can't be because of the games can it?

Wait, Sony is now so epic that even the Kazekage is working for them?
