And it was, but, hey, the sites need to write about something.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Yodobashi have "massive" stock, I called my local one and they said they have "over 500" in stock at that one particular store (machida) the clerk then told me their online store will have stock updates daily for the next week.

Either they were lying or Sony has been stockpiling like fuck

Is amazon as big in japan as in UK and US?

It has stronger competition in Rakuten, but it's still a hugely popular website.


Is it number 1 on Rakuten yet then?

No.

I don't know how often they update the rankings or how many units they were alloted though.

Might explain why someone on GAF wrote the below. Either massive stock or the system is not selling that well. Considering the rumor now is 350K stock, I'm inclined to believe the latter.


Went to Yodobashi Camera here in Fukuoka today during lunchtime and shelves are still full of launch day preorder systems. Also, after work, nobody in line or I just didn't see them. I would be actually surprised if the system sells well here.

Is it not midnight in Japan? I am sure they have only just finished their midnight launch event, so how could this person have seen pre-order systems on shelves at lunchtime?

Edit: I just Google'd Fukuoka and it is 01:45 there on the day of launch so i'm calling bullshit on this one.
