Sony is very good at PS4 distribution, even third world country like Malaysia gets PS4 very early compared to previous gens.

I might have been exaggerating it when I said third world, but definitely a developing country.

Still very impressive for a PS4 to sold out to even such small territory.

Eh, that's okay. I'm sure they'll have them in March when Infamous: Second Son comes out.

Four Worlds

After World War II the world split into two large geopolitical blocs and spheres of influence with contrary views on government and the politically correct society:

1 - The bloc of democratic-industrial countries within the American influence sphere, the "First World".

2 - The Eastern bloc of the communist-socialist states, the "Second World".

3 - The remaining three-quarters of the world's population, states not aligned with either bloc were regarded as the "Third World."

4 - The term "Fourth World", coined in the early 1970s by Shuswap Chief George Manuel, refers to widely unknown nations (cultural entities) of indigenous peoples, "First Nations" living within or across national state boundaries.

Yeah, they are going to be waiting for awhile. I did find a ONE PS4 at Best Buy yesterday. There were NO XBox Ones at all. I got the PS3 for my sons. It was the LAST ONE. WTF is up with Sony. They can't even supply enough PS3's, never mind PS4's. Gamestop did still have a few XB1 at the location I checked, but those would easily be gone before the weekend is over.

I don't think the PS4's shortage will end until end of January or sometime in February. Glad I preordered mine right after the E3.

LOL!! What?!?!? They after sold out in most of the countries they shipped to around the world. Sony did not ship a huge amount of consoles to all those other 45 countries. The majority went to NA, UK & European countries. In Australia they will have to wait until middle of Jan to get more PS4's.
