Forums - Sales - Was PS4 overshipped in FY16 Q1 (APR-JUN ) or simply having a lot of stock ( more than 2m ) is just a normal thing ? (PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO READ THE OP )

Just think of the shelf space PS4 really occupies globally. It's more successful and it's in more markets. Every retailer who stocks a large quantity can be sure that units will sell. It's natural for it to ship a lot more.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Nah, PS4 is just undertracked. Happened to the PS3 too.

Yo dawg I heard you like to overship.  so you over shipped just after you over shipped so you could over ship!  

 

To answer the OP,  no I think it's undertracked on here. I'd guess 500-700k. Ps4 is a beast. 

At least, someone considers a reasonable number of a probable undertracking of
PS4... 500k! If PS4 is undertracked, it would be by 500k! Not 1m... lol

Official sales and educated sales assumptions ( for markets that we don't have official data ) which are very generous, leading to the conclusion of PS4 
having 2.2m on the shelves...

So, those assumptions might not be generous afterall because PS4 is such a beast, that might have attained on june what I
call a generous assumption!

It was overtracked by 1.3m on May, it cannot went from that to 1m undertracking just in 4  months...

Tbh I don't think people really care. it's doing such insane numbers that it's hard to get worked up over an under shipment.  especially when it's competitiors are nowhere to be seen.

That would be silly as the new PS4, PS4S is more profitable to them and cheaper to make. So it would be stupid for them to send out more original PS4 instead to the stores. So I don't think PS4 was overshipped.
