I already proved that the ps4 was out of stock online at every major retailer last MC thread. Also had someone in Tokyo corroborate that all ps4 were sold out at their Bid Camera and 50-60 Switches were sitting on the back shelf.

Pitiful sales, stock or no stock.

Ya, sadly no excuse to not at least have 20,000 for console in its 5th year. I can understand having stock issues (Same with the Switch), but the level it is going to is concerning. Also decent Kirby Sales. 

I think the whole market is concerning in April. Vita, 3DS, XB1 are obviously pretty bad. But even PS4 and Switch sales are ridiculously low compared to the expectations we have for both consoles.

Ya Switch needs to at least gain 10,000 to be at the sweet spot for baseline with nothing releasing.

He was mocking wanting to buy a PS4? Didn't seem like a mocking post. Even helped me out by locating BicCamera's online store. Probably the most helpful person I have come across on these forums.

I dont see how 40k without new releases can be ridiculously low in any case.

You cant honestly believe a single store had 60-80 units of hardware in stock.

very low compared to the 3ds. 3ds was doing 70-80k regularly. 40k isnt good for a nintendo handheld

I've been to Akihabara. I can easily believe that. You know how big Tokyo is, don't you?

3DS needed huge price drop in order to start selling in first place, Switch is selling good without any price drop.
