PS4 shortages in US in some places according to a retailer insider

I can understand console shortages during the holiday season, but how do you do that outside of season?

Sony don't care. They just want to sell full price what they manufactured and planned to sell for the period. No stocks, maximum profits.

Wonder how March really ends up. It seems much closer than previous months towards the end. Until the PS4 SKU went out of stock.

Gray Switch is sold out on Amazon, so now there's 2 sold out SKU total with the Slim at Gamestop



Maybe they are selling out because they are about to announce a new model and/or price cut and they want to clear stock.

So, Pikachu now also invading Best Buy it seems.

Will those be counted normally, or will they be counted at a lesser degree than the main SKU?

I don’t there’s need to count them with different value. The month is almost done and even if the Let’s Go bundles makes a return, the monthly average won’t change much before the end of tracking period.

The real ratio between the Switch and PS4 will probably be closer than what the tracker will show, but I doubt I’ll make a big difference.

@op keep doing the good job !
