wow! http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/55039/sony-to-gamestop-the-flood-gates-are-open-for-ps4-system-reserves Looks like Sony has confidence to fulfill the high demand for PS4 Also Amazon announced last week, at its peak that they received 2500 reservations per minute for PS4 and Xbox One. the majority of it goes to PS4

Amazing, I already preordered the PS4, and it's no surprise it's beating the Xbox One preorders

They just do it to get higher numbers in media "oh look Ps4 got more pre-orders than Xbone". If they do this i doubt all people that pre-order will get one at release day.:|

if that's the case, then why won't MS do the same thing. It can be 2 things 1. There's no demand for Xbone 180 2. Rumour is, and this is a strong rumour, that MS has production yield issue, they cannot go into mass production mode, because overclocking issue

Thank you based Sony. :cool: Ensuring that the fans get their hands on PS4s unlike crappy M$ dancing around and fooling themselves. I guess Sony's body is ready for the tons of returning fans they're gonna get this gen. This is expected when you are for gamers by gamers. Live, learn, and love the Sony way. :cool: SDC. #ThankyouBasedKaz

Sony had already given max numbers to stores for pre-orders what i guess is relative to how many they can make. How can they just change those numbers to unlimited?

This is why I think it's iffy, especially coming from gamestop. Or maybe they are exceeding their own expectation, who knows?

Well they are already doing that (amazon at least). It's called the standard edition.

ok let's do some math game Sony said they can go to full capacity mode for PS4 production by September, producing 1M a month. so let say July = 500K Aug = 800K Sep = 1M Oct = 1M Nov = 1M so that's around 4.3M by launch window (5.3M if we include December) gamestop has 4800 stores in North America. so even if there are 500 perorder numbers per store, that's only 2.4M, and there's no way there's 500 preorder per store. So with 4.3M by November Sony has all the capacity to fullfil maximum preorders in North America, Europe and Japan

Xbox One has yet to sell out... Where as PS4 is selling out everywhere.

Now that they are going all out... Everyone is happy. No standing in lines... No ebay price gouging and no shortage!

Hope Sony put's out the NDP numbers. It might even beat 360 in sales for the month.

Don't believe me then. Believe your fanboy lies.The combination of the shortage of PS4's, lack of interesting launch exclusives(from what was revealed so far), and etc will slow the PS4 down.

It's possible what I'm predicting may happen.Supply constraints have affected literally every console launch.

Anyway I don't believe the PS4 will strugle like the WiiU, but it will slow down in terms of sales at the start of next year.

He's just butthurt because even 1980s cartoon rehashes can't save kidtendo now.
