sony has a number of units that they want to produce before launch date, preorders are projected to go over that number [URL]http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/13/sony-raises-its-sales-forecasts-for-playstation-4[/URL] [QUOTE]Unfortunately for those that didn’t pre-order early, however, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House admitted that “demand may well outstrip supply.” GameStop echoed this “sentiment” to the Wall Street Journal.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://uk.playstation.com/media/4nL8l5VX/33/PS4-Bundle-featured-image.jpg[/IMG] ^you wont be seeing any of these on the shelf this Christmas hahahaha
ill just order it on black market the grinch always hooks me up
I'd rather wait for V2, so that any bugs, hardware or software, could be ironed out.
i've never seen anything video game related sell out in australia i'm interested if this will change
Reminds me of how the DS and Wii used to be sold out everywhere. Had to go to like 4 stores to finally find a DS (The last one no less). This wasn't even at release either.

[QUOTE=zombini;41027644]I'd rather wait for V2, so that any bugs, hardware or software, could be ironed out.[/QUOTE] Well, considering the nature of the console (proven architecture, a proven disk storage format) I don't think there will be too much problems with the first iteration but who knows Personally I'll just wait for it to drop down to $300 to get one
And the Winner of this console generation is.......

[QUOTE=DaMastez;41027708]Weren't people fighting to get PS3 at launch as well?[/QUOTE] We had asshats buying the consoles just to smash them. RIP Merge 2013-2013 ;_;7

I guess that takes the pressure off me to get the money, they won't be around till mid-2014 anyways!
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;41027724]didn't the wii pretty much sell out on launch here? trying to get one for christmas was next to impossible[/QUOTE] The Wii was sold out pretty much everywhere. We had people fighting in stores over the last ones in stock.
I hope they can produce enough units for everyone.
Meanwhile Microsoft buys huge tracts of land in the Arizona desert and huge supplies of digging machinary.
These are gonna sell for a fortune on Ebay.
I actually wonder, I plan on preordering a month before release. Will I not get one? I don't want to preorder now so early.
[QUOTE=DaMastez;41027708]Weren't people fighting to get PS3 at launch as well?[/QUOTE] Pretty sure I saw a story where some people killed a guy for his PS3.
[QUOTE=DaMastez;41027708]Weren't people fighting to get PS3 at launch as well?[/QUOTE] Not sure, don't think so. The PS3 was pretty expensive at launch.
[QUOTE=ashxu;41027793]Not sure, don't think so. The PS3 was pretty expensive at launch.[/QUOTE] I remember that there was a craze and huge demand over it. some were going for like, 1500 dollars.
I pre-ordered just in time. I kind of expected this to happen.
this is hilarious if you remember the article where it was said that the Xbox One broke records for preorders, just another bullshit lie by Microsoft :v:
it could just be talk to get people who are on the fence of getting one to go ahead and get it while they can
I don't mind waiting a year, there's nothing in the release lineup of games that really interests me. Once we get more information about Kingdom Hearts 3, FFXV, Destiny I'll buy one no doubt. Also is the PS4 backwards compatible? I really want to play The Last of Us.
welp Microsoft fucked up hard for this to happened
[QUOTE=Zombie man70;41027809]I pre-ordered just in time. I kind of expected this to happen.[/QUOTE] It should have been expected by everybody considering the recent actions of Microsoft.
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;41027885]welp Microsoft fucked up hard for this to happened[/QUOTE] I tried to get some infos out of their support Twitter team, when they finally get thru their thick skull some people just don't have internet for days, they just flat out ignore your question and ask you if you have anything else to ask : [URL]https://twitter.com/Painonne/status/345352369963405314[/URL] Apparently, you'll be able to connect using your cellphone's 3G, there's that I guess.
I've never bought a console on day one before. I'm kind of tempted Meanwhile on Amazon [img]http://puu.sh/3fdst.png[/img]
Animal Crossing is a better investment than the Xbox One.
