Sony factories 'running flat out' to meet PS4 demand

4.4
Sony’s factories are “going to be running flat out” to manufacture enough PlayStation 4 hardware to meet demand, Sony Europe boss Jim Ryan has said.

Speaking to EDGE about the demand for the console, Ryan said, “Factories are going to be running flat out the way demand is looking.

“There’s an awful lot of core gamers out there now and we will be selling to them certainly in this part of the world.”

Sony has already secured over one million pre-orders for PS4 – a figure it could struggle to fulfil for launch day.

The platform holder has previously notified retailers that any orders placed after August 5 may not be delivered in time for launch day, but additional stock may become available as it finalises allocation.

PlayStation 4 launches in the UK on November 29 for £349. Official bundles will also be available.

That doesn't show anything, it just shows Sony doesn't have the amount of resources Microsoft has.

Sonys PS3 Had Its Fair Share Of Problems Aswell Such As, Red & Yellow Light Issues. Same GPU Issues As The 360s RROD.

Frog They can't make enough PS4's for the release date? Maybe Sony is doing better than I though xD


Same here, i originally thought SONY would make too many consoles and barely have any orders but they already have 1 million :o
