No, please don't. This is fun..

Was gunna say

You're only late by a smidge. But, only a smidge.

It is interesting that the PS4 has already sold out of 4 or 5 preorder allotments before launch. We'll just have to wait til official sales are released to see if those allotments/shipments were large enough to help.

4D graphics, baby!  xD

News necromancy FTW!

Suck it haters.

Looks like a 900k opening week.

Yes. It goes back in time to pick up even more sales than ever.

A true juggernaut of a console.

Great news congrats sony

Leave him alone. This will be relevant when it's revealed that all those people cancelled their orders in the meantime, which is why all those PS4s are cluttering up Japanese retail stores now. It's the doom version of a perfect storm.

I call it the Perfect Doom.

Let's push this bit more far:

PS4 Scalpers Defeated in Japan by Widespread Availability of Sony’s New Console

Almost every console launch is plagued by scalpers, people or small businesses that purchase units in order to resell them at a higher price when a shortage happens. Quite a few tried that trick in Japan too, but it didn’t exactly go as they hoped.

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia President Hiroshi Kawano promised that the company would take any possible measure to ensure a good volume of units at launch, and the console was made available for pre-order at least five times last year.

Even if the PS4 sold out every time pre-orders were opened, that definitely dampened the need for over-the-counter availability on launch day, especially combined with the ever-growing habit of Japanese customers to order what they want online.

The result of those factors is that, at the moment, there’s no shortage of Sony’s new console in Japan. A quick search reveals that almost every single major electronics chain has units in stock.

A byproduct of this kind of solid supply is that scalpers got shafted. When customers can just walk to a store to buy a product, there’s no way to sell it online with a mark-up.

Checking the popular online auction site Yahoo Auctions we can see something not many would have expected: in order to recoup the loss, Japanese scalpers have actually been forced to put their carefully hoarded PS4 consoles for sale at a price lower than the official one, which is 41,979 yen (including taxes), or 46,179 yen with the camera.
