^^ What banana said. Sony need to give Amazon a much bigger commitment of stock. Hopefully they are seeing the response and are increasing production.


i hope the demand is also present at other stores. if sony push this like they did with the destiny bundle we could see a huge burst in sales. if things keep going the way it is i dont expect that much of a bump in june. 

I still think there will be a good bump. It keeps going out of stock but has managed to stay in a high position on the monthly charts. It's just about how big that bump will be, and stock seems to be the main factor at this point.

Batman in stock again. How long will it last this time?

Not even a day is the answer.

I tell ya, an official $50 price cut and Wii u will rock, for a while at least.

How many do you think Sony can realistically produce? And for a global market.

They can't box up and distribute the bundles yet because they don't have a game that's gone gold yet (have they?). So if they are stockpiling the consoles they are sitting waiting to be bundled and boxed and shipped. This isn;t like a destiny situation where Sony can just pump out plain white consoles and sell any surplus as stand alone units. There's a bit more logistical complexity in making an actual limited edition console for global distribution.

Still, I think Sony would be mad to produce anything less than 250K of these bad boys. They would possibly sell that many in the USA alone.

Availability of the bundle in NZ is currently pretty decent, so maybe it is just an Amazon thing. Perhaps it's Amazon that is only doing piecemeal ordering.

Would that have been your reaction prior to seeing the success of this bundle on Amazon? That's also what Sony had to do, test the market see what the demand is then produce the product based of that. Like someone else mentioned its not just a plaime colored console it has that Batman theme skin. If there was no demand for the system Sony would have to spend tons of money repurposing the consoles and @ 250k you mentioned I would venture to say it would be a very unnecessary cost.
