Sony must be mass producing these things as we speak.
How can Sony supply an "unlimited amount" of PS4s? What does that even mean?
If they showed that MS was allocating ~ Z number of consoles and Sony was allocating Z x 2 or something then that would totally different. To me this means nothing because "unlimited" is not a number of consoles that anyone can ship.
Why? They're beating them at everything else.
Sony is gearing up for complete global saturation.
16m is bullshit number, There is no way sony can shift 16m ps4 in 3 months,That IF they released it in Oct 1st.
Just called my Gamestop.
They said "we only have a few systems left for reserve on both, $100 down"
That makes me want to bite, but I dont think I'm going to donate 100 to Gamestop to hold for 5 months.
On the otherhand, I dont want to deal with a November-February shortage. Bleh.

My god nooooo. Don't fall for it when they're asking for money, especially when we have no idea what the actual launch shipments will turn out to be since it's not a guarantee that you'll get one.
Pre order from an online retailer for free now imo; or somewhere that will take less money down. 100 seems ridiculous to hold for that long.
(this is just my opinion, depends how much you value your money.)
It could mean they're projected production is still outstripping demand by a significant amount. Or they have a certain time frame beyond launch date where they consider it satisfactory to consider it as enough supply.How can Sony supply an "unlimited amount" of PS4s? What does that even mean?

Well that's...weird. Surely they can't be that confident of their manufacturing ability?
This is purely for Sony to use for marketing purposes at this point, whereas MS seems to be asking them to set preorders based on supply.
Going to be a lot of PS4 preorders waiting until May to get their console. Just like last gen.
my gawd.. if Sony can get this thing out in October.
Apparently they will start mass production in few weeks, with hitting full stride [1 mil per month] in September.
Actually it might sound strange but I expected them to do it all along.
They "allowed" Xbox to announce first, caught them by surprise. We all know the PR disaster which may not have been caused by it but there was panic by MS and it showed.
They "allow" MS to launch first (MS=fall vs Sony=holidays). Maybe they will hit the stores early October.
Maybe not but it might be one of the last moves on this well played game of chess of Sony vs MS. The previous situation was Sony had a check on MS, MS pulled a castling.
Will Sony's next move be a checkmate?
Well that's...weird. Surely they can't be that confident of their manufacturing ability?
Checkmate IMO would have been GT6 exclusive day 1 followed by a 2014 WWS onslaught, but Sony seems to be going for a calmer route.
Can anyone explain how this will affect the pre-orders at Gamestop? Should I go in as soon as I get money and put down my pre-order or wait a bit?
Yeah, this is gonna be me at Gamestop if I don't get my shit within a 3 day period. Believe that.Updated Seinfeld scene about to be lived out this fall:
Jerry: I don't understand. Do you have my reservation?
GameStop: We have your reservation, we just ran out of PS4s.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the PS4 here. That's why you have the reservation.
GameStop: I think I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don't think you do...... You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.
Whats the best place to preorder right now other than amazon. I have a launch edition preordered but I'm afraid. I need a backup.
