We're not going to be seeing arrogant Sony again. Not with the current state the company is in.
Not to mention that most of the former team that's in charge of PS1 to PS3 (like Ken Kutaragi) aren't there anymore.

"Generally" sold out at retailers? I saw two when I was just perusing Walmart. Demand is high but a statement like this is just weird.
Are they holding stock back for Japan launch?
Meanwhile Walmart has Xbox One + free game for $499.

No one does. I have been to various retailers in the Houston area and I have only seen two in the wild. Both were at Wal-Marts. Since Nov, I have probably hit up 25-30 stores (Target, BB, Wal-Mart, Gamestop, Frys) if they weren't scarce I would have ran across them countless times. Oddly enough, I haven't seen an Xbox One at Wal-Mart outside of launch week. Seen plenty at BB/Frys though.
A couple of thousands maybe.
BLOWNY and PHOWNY are my favorite console war terms. I wish they'd get more widespread and that people would use them seriously instead of ironically.
My local gamestop is created a layaway plan for Xbox One.
Yes, a layaway plan.

I've been seeing Xbox Ones available in the majority of stores that sell them. EB, Best Buy, 3 at a Wal-Mart today. Still never seen a PS4 in the wild. Driving me nuts.
At least try and hide the trollism syndrome, I will call it now...you won't last but 2 days. lol
Like was said in the other thread they aren't having trouble. They are making and selling more consoles than any company in history to this point. If you look at the weekly charts in the PAL thread you will see ps4 games are taking over the charts. If there wasn't any supply this would not be happening. It just sells that fast.
Gamestop *snip*
Just because they're selling fast doesn't mean they don't have a supply problem. It just means that they did not gear up their production line for the amount of demand for the console, either because they didn't forecast such strength of demand, or because they had no capacity to do so. Either way, that's a problem because they're leaving money on the table, and money is something Sony could use right now.
I've seen PS4's available at Target and Best Buy for the past couple weeks now. I live in Minnesota btw.
Sure, but normally when people cite supply problems around here they refer more to things like yield issues or other production problems - i.e., something that wouldn't allow them to meet their production goals.
Not having enough product to sell is a problem of course, but not a supply/production problem in the sense that things are (apparently) going according to plan - although maybe the plan itself fell a bit short.
Yeah, don't get me wrong, it's a good problem to have. But it's something that for instance Apple gets dinged for by investors all the time when they can't make iPhones fast enough to meet the initial demand. My guess is that Sony underestimated the launch demand, and thus the production capabilities are geared for an interest level that's lower than what it is. When Japan launches the stock issue could get worse before it gets better.
Huh, I wonder if that's a store wide thing?My local gamestop is created a layaway plan for Xbox One.
Yes, a layaway plan.
Gamestop
If you did see some they aren't there any more

They’re advertising a layaway program for the Xbox One, but not the PlayStation 4. The Xbox One’s $500 price tag just might be enough to justify such a promotion, seeing as Gamestop probably drew a fine line between $400 and $500, on what could be considered affordable for a game console in one lump payment.
LIAR. I saw one at my local target. You liar Sony you lie you think you can get away with Lying but you were wrong Sony you were wrongggggg because I found a playstation 4 and now everyone and I mean EVERYONE knows about the time you lieeed on the internet in your internal presentation
Wow, I think that's definitely thread worthy.
It's kind of dumb since money on layaway for the PS4 could potential be held longer due to the shortage, missed opportunity right there.

It's a joke based off another member here being a tad disingenuous about how PS4's were selling in New Zealand
