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.

I seriously want to make a console 1 million preorders is like 500 millions dollars!

A million pre-orders is just insane! Like Mortar said, I wonder how long it takes to built a console, they must be really struggling to meet the demands of their fanbase.

Agreed, I love the PS4 and can't wait to get it.

Yea ps4 is better and $100 less can't wait to get the ps4 :)


I don't really agree with your statement. Each console has their benefits and downfalls just like how the PS3 and Xbox were pretty even, and were each unique.

It would be interesting to know how many units are ready at the moment as well as some other interesting facts like how long it takes for a PS4 to be put together. Hopefully Sony will succeed in meeting the number of pre-orders.

ZENU96 A million preorders! that's insane! i wonder how many pre orders the xbox one has.


It had 800k from gamestop alone. Ps4 is doing better though, but remember Xbox isn't launching in every country at first.
