May be this quote might help us stimate PS4 sales...

“[Home] console hardware sales increased by 120 percent in April 2014 over last year,” said Callahan. "

Use last year NPD numbers and lets assume PS3 drop the same level as the 360 and WiiU is flat YoY.

Scratch that, the was talking about revenue.

The PS4 shortage in the US is 100% over.

Shortage is over for consumers but Sony is still probably working at stock stores to appropriate levels. Only thing I can think of

Shortages are far from over in the EU though, except the UK i hear. PS4 is selling for 500 on ebays here

I hope they stabilize it fast so that they can start pumping out the PS4 + Vita bundle. That way i'll convince my brother to get it and buy off his Vita cheaper than individually :D

that goes by revenue though right?

Yes, eventhoug its still possible to calculate. But it would be more compricated and less precise.

I can deal with PS4 selling betwing 150k and 200k.

Probably, but I live in Canada though so I was talking more in regards to that. Although now that I think about it he was probably talking about US stock so...

In the stores I checked in Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver all in the past 3 weeks, almost all the stores had ps4 in stock, and I checked loads of stores cause I was looking for a good Wii U deal. Also, its easily available online on so many sites. There is no shortage anymore ever since they rised the price to $449.

Ouch some people on GameFAQs spinning in the worst way possible, saying that the XB1 did not release a retail exclusive in April and that PS4 released MLB the Show, so reaching triple digits is still "quite good". Meanwhile in reality, MLB the show was only out in May, not April, and the XB1 did release a retail exclusive... though i don't blame them for forgetting Kinect Sports rivals.
