http://www.independent.ie/business/technology/gaming/it-could-take-months-to-meet-demand-for-playstation-4-here-gara-29783561.html

So this is basically going back to that one statement I made about Microsoft and Sony starting manufacturing to late and both will be having issues putting out supply.

I mean until April? Sony still has pre-orders not met and only a few stores have extras (not including the inflaters on website dealers.)

This could potentially hurt both companies, especially in europe. I think both parties were way,way, to late.

Yet there are companies saying that they still have unfulfilled pre-orders for both. And the fact MS made a SPECIFIC batch for those who did not pre-order. Or I can use your logic of being an idiot and say because I can walk to my Bestbuy and target and see PS4's, the PS4 has no demand.

Not very smart are you? How about sticking to the topic subject?

Why is sony finding it so hard to meet demand when they kept bragging about their high yields.

Sony being Sony as usual.

Because the whole world wants the PS4, they don't want to settle for inferior machines like the X1 and the WiiU

To put this in perspective. London's population is nearly double the entire populaton of Ireland, don't know why they can't throw a few thousand more consoles over there.

sony had a batch for day one people too. And its a known fact that sony is releasing more systems that ms is

sony will have likely have 2million + units sold by the end of this week

It's pretty much " off the shelf " hardware this time but apparently Sony's shelves are to high to reach .

No excuse for droughts really .

its going to be so funny when it doesnt, cows are so wrapped up in their bubble i honestly hate to break it to you but right now the majority of people are either happy with the current gen offerings of the PS3 and Xbox 360 OR just dont have the money right to afford one its plain and simple.

Im also sure that the One has actually so far outpaced the 360's launch thus far in terms of sales.Just some food for thought.
