Sony putting extra effort to supply KNACK bundles due to overwhelming demand.

Pretty much. People are so desperate for one even if they don't really know what knack is they still buy it. That's what it has been like at work anyway

Working at GAME through this launch period has been insane. A lot harder to move the Xbox Ones in comparison. We have spurts of One demand but the PS4 demand is consistently strong

Hm, yep!
Seems like they had them in stock, but I guess not 1000+

Standard is second, after KZ bundle, KZ bundle sold more that 1000 units in the past two days, maybe Amazon put the >999 stock for the stand alone before send the pre orders.

Probably just an error to have them available as stated above. Wasn't due until end of month. If they did sell them all and at that rate then... yes, that's some serious numbers.

I guess it is not a error... I checked and there are 16 units in stock yet.... I think some guys didn't confirmed the purchase or these are cancellations.

And if you look the best selling you will see the PS4 are the first items right now.... so real sale.

Also the best sellers doesn't update straight away, which is why the standalone is now #1 in best sellers above Killzone, which we know sold 1000+ units.

Well don't forget that there was pre-order this standard one for few days past. They must have using this stock for backordered. Maybe that's why it went down very quick.
 
Not sure I buy them selling over 1000 PS4 in less than hour...

My anecdotal tracking...

* 13 hours ago Amazon.uk had in stock the Standard consoles with OVER 999 units left.

* 1 hour ago Amazon.uk had in stock the Standard consoles with OVER 999 units left.

* Right now? SOLD OUT.

Yeah, there has to have been a mistake on their end. I guess it's possible we'll find out on the 30th. If they put the standard back as in stock, we'll have our answer....

Yea, XB1 has been in stock in the UK since before christmas, the thirst has gone.

EDIT: It's 46th in current bestsellers, not far away from the Knack PS4 bundle at 54th.

I wonder if US will show similar signs now when the thirst will be gone or whether US will be the only battleground of this gen. UK seems to be pretty much lost after the fanboys bought the consoles already.

Not surprising. MS really shot themselves in the foot by pricing it above £400. It'll continue to sell as poorly as it is until they put the price down or make the £429 bundle a more attractive proposition with value adds.

A £399 Titanfall bundle might see demand increase....

In year totals, every single PS4 bundle is above XBONE.
1- PS4
11- PS4 + Killzone
39- PS4 + KNACK
45- XONE
47- XONE + FIFA

how to get year and months bestsellers..??
Thank you

Month you can't, only the cumulative year.
In best sellers page on the right "Bestseller archive" (Top 100), then on the left choose 2014.

On the 2014 German Amazon, the Wii nunchuck is before the Xbone...

PS4 sitting mightily on Place 7 with the 500€ Killzone, DriveClub, Knack bundle, which is the only one that's up for pre-order.

Surprise that PS4 bundle that high, you can't buy PS4 there since long time ago, right?

Xbox One is at 75, the first Xbox One game (Titanfall) is at 88. PS4 Killzone bundle (which is not in stock) is at 7, there are numerous PS4 titles in the top 100 (three of which are in the top 20).

MS has a problem when they've got tons of Xbox One consoles (plus better launch games) on retailers' shelves, but consumers want the competitor's product that's been out of stock for almost two months now.
 
Standard is £409.59 whilst the Knack bundle is £384.99 yet the standard is selling better? People are paying more not to have Knack?

You can only buy the standard version from marketplace sellers, that's why those prices are much higher.

Poor Knack. They should rename the Knack bundle into "Ultimate Mark Cerny Playstation Version 4".
Click to expand...

You really shouldn't be sorry for Knack. When it is all said and done the game will be Sony Japan Studio's best selling title in like a decade if not more. Yeah it's a launch title and heavely bundled, but it's far from a flop. Well commercially that is.

I was half joking. I know Knack is doing very well thanks to the bundle in Europe and UK in particular.
 
Now that we know demand has been met everywhere and it's just languishing on shelves in the US Best Buy and over in UK, what do you think they should do with the excess stock? Probably a few lives can be saved using them in place of sandbags during floods. Any other ideas?

You made this joke like 5 post up. We get it.

I'd love some more shipments to mainland Yurop, Sony!

..... the Standard Edition was available a few hours ago.
That's the reason why it's No.1 this time.

I wonder how many people in the mainland are ordering from Amazon UK? Could explain how they sold 1000 is such a short amount of time.

Although I'm still not 100% convinced they did...

Only other explanation would be an adjustment on stock levels by Amazon just as people were ordering in bulk.

Good that you get it, but nobody cares beyond that! Every day we get new shipments of PS4s, they are staying in shops longer and longer. We can gain some perception of how the demand is by how long they stay in shops. This period is the longest I can think of with them still on Best Buy and Amazon UK for days now. Days, jim!

Do you have a bet on when they will be sold out in this shipment? It seems now that we're starting to cross the line from demand cannot be met to slowly demand being met. we're not quite there, but we have to plan for the future!

Edit: Obviously I'm exaggerating for effect, but I do think we're starting to turn a corner.

This seems like a real possibility. I guess we'll see what happens on the 30th. If it's not available for sale then, it'll be clear they sold the entire shipment.

Incredible achievement if they really sold 1000 in such a short time-frame.
 
The price tag on amazon just went up. The console itself was £350 just this morning. It's over £400 now.
Looks like I lucked out. I bought my PS4 yesterday, and got it delivered this morning (Killzone bundle).

Edit: I see its the marketplace seller's price. This thing is selling madly.

To be fair we can say that the demand has been met when I can leisurily walk into a gamestop and buy a ps4.

I know, I'm just exaggerating for effect. I have noticed now though that every time a store gets stock, we're starting to see longer and longer periods between when they sell out again. The current situation where Amazon UK has gone for like 4 days and Best Buy has gone since the middle of the week is the longest I've seen yet. I don't think that means demand isn't still high, but I do think it means we're turning a corner and things are going to stabilize soon. I think by the end of February we'll probably be looking at stabilization for most territories, and probably April for the few stragglers that remain. Unless Japan and a few of the other territories it still has to come out in has a more insane launch that we think.

Sony has had an impressive run by any standard. The question is what does it stabilize to? Does it have healthy month-to-month numbers after? That's what we're watching for I think.

Yeah that's good, finally the supply is catching up to demand. It lasted basically until Sony needed it seeing that it is from now on that new retail games are starting to be released for the PS4.

it'd be helpful for them if they could hold the thirst until march, then they'd start having games coming out. Not sure it will hold that long though.

Where is my Diablo date, Driveclub date, etc? Come on!

Yes. I hope that means they start being more proactive. Not only for the things you mention, but for the firmware updates. The system is desperately in need for a lot of tweaks, including fixes for their share button and record functionality.
