Yea we should wait till NPD we had the samething happen with amazon tool, maybe its falling of a cliff based on the tool, but in NPD it will be fine, just look at xbox results last month, it looked it was falling off a cliff but it was close to switch.

Yeah, I posted before that the Pro and One X both are getting an evergrowing part of the sales of their respective consoles.

Not sure if the Gamestop isn't tracking the sales of all their shops combined or not - at least I thought it does. If just Target and Walmart would have good and regularly update videogame sales charts like the other 3 (well, 2 of the 3 at least) do, we would have a clearer picture. However, Nowinstock has just the one at Gamestop in stock, either - apart from a scalped Arkham Knight LE for almost 500 bucks: https://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/ps4/

There it's also visible that it's not just in the US, though because most countries are only represented by Amazon there it's a bit hard to judge those. But some like Canada, UK and Mexico have other shops and those also seem to be short on stocks.

Same is also true for the XBO S it seems, as it only shows availability in the Microsoft store, and sold out in Canada, UK and Germany. The ONE X, on the other hand, seems much more available - but is also tracked at a higher variety of shops. Still, it can be bought at places the S model is shown as sold out, so probably the X is the only option next to the Switch in many cases.

Partially, yes, but nothing near as huge or abrupt as it happened here now. As explained above, it looks like there's starting to be some more or less serious stock issues

Perhaps something similar to what happened in Japan earlier is starting to happen worldwide. I did say at the time that I thought the scarcity was due to Sony having to reconsider their allocation of manufacturing resources between the Pro and legacy PS4 SKUs.

It is very possible that there is a glut of legacy PS4 SKUs but a scarcity of Pro SKUs for those making the leap to 4K which would fit a significant portion of the PS4 userbase mostly enamoured by the eyecandy of high end graphics.

Sony report's for fy is send 16 mi ps4 to world, compared to last year, 19 mi or 20 min, it's a substantial number of consoles decrease. Maybe the effects already start to hit market.

This would have very little to do with the NPD predicting tool, and more to do with europe and ROTW,  shipping numbers in 2 weeks will give us a great indication of whats going on. 

I'm not too concerned right now, PS4 does have its drops from time to time and some people still have "Doom" at the ready. It's bloody boiling in the UK right now and if its the same elsewhere I can see why the Xbox and PS4 are not that high. It's also true that June/July are dead months generally for games, so really it would make sense if Sony is messing around with stock or new products they do it now rather than later.

If its still like this when August/September hits (when the games start to flow and hopefully the heat has died down), then perhaps something else is happening.

yea it s funny, you would think these people could at least wait till  real official numbers out .

@Symbios63 Do you have a spreadsheet of all the daily point values? I think it would be cool to compare the weekly point ratios to what VGChartz has for each week.

You're one to talk, Mr "Fall off a cliff"

I do have one (there would be no graph otherwise...). The comparison might indeed be interesting. I can share the spreadsheet if you are willing to do it.
