GameStop hikes price on PS4 Camera amid supposed 'high demand'

4
GameStop, US game retailer, has recently added a $10 markup to its remaining supply of PlayStation 4 Camera as supposed demand outgrows supply. The product normally retails for $59.99 and has been honored by most outlets since the console's launch but it seems GameStop had different ideas when they listed the product for $69.99. Sony has avoided commenting with exact sales figures or even opening up to offer an explanation for the obvious supply shortage of PS4 Cameras.

While we do not comment on the sales figures, shipment or monthly production quantity, PlayStation Camera remains in high demand.Sony

lilrichard22 Isn't this why a lot of people bought a PS4? So people wouldn't have to spend extra money on a camera they wouldn't use? Why would it be on high demand?


A lot of people bought it due to Microsoft's DRM fiasco. It's also the stronger console, and it's cheaper.


Why do people keep bringing this back up?
It's really not a stronger console. Maybe by a very small

It actually is though, by about 50%. It's already been seen in games (1080p on PS4 vs 720p on the Xbox One or Tomb Raider 60fps on PS4 vs 30fps on the Xbox One).


You're so lost, I feel bad for you.


Care to elaborate? I hope you didn't buy into the cloud nonsense.
No one wants to hear this fanboy crap : /, you chose the console you wanted to pick so just shut up! Both are great consoles!

Not sure how posting facts to answer a question qualifies as a fanboy. I never stated which console i own or prefer, simply facts.
(I own both)
You didn't post 1 fact. You clearly don't have a clue why games are 720p on Xbox One and 1080p of PS4. I don't visit this site anymore because of skids like you

10$ isn't a lot but "high demand" lol. I wouldn't have bought the kinect if it didn't come with my xbox one.

This is stupid that they would raise the price, I don't understand the use of this anyway, there will be aftermarket cameras soon.
