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.

Alberici I hope they dont get to much of a hurry and mass make them and there is a glitch in them all


I could see that happening to sony, and then have them loose a ton of money again.


Hopefully this doesn't happen to either company. I would like to see both consoles have a steady launch with minimal glitches (despite it being unlikely)

I'm sure they won't let it happen. They want to make that monayy


Both consoles will have some glitches at the start, its obvious.

I guess for all the problems in the world to have this is a good one to have. I am sure they will fine a way to boost production to meet the demand with the amount of money that is involved in this console.

Aussieguy That's not the case at all, PS4 has is outselling Xbox 1 4:1 at most shops and others are about 3:1. I originally thought it was becuase the XBox1 had most stock but it's not , PS4 had more stock and just seems more popular.

I mean who would want a Xbox1, when it costs $100 more and is less powerful then the PS4. Also you have to buy that Kinect which comes with the console even if you don't want it.

Yep that is why Australians are one of the smarter Countries :)


omg... please take that back i beg you, i don't want people too think Australia is full of annoying fanboys like you ://


costs $100 more
less powerful then the PS4

he brought up some pretty valid points in that comment.
You got to be a complete dumb*ss if you think the Xbox One is better than the PS4. Whoever is buying the Xbox One is just someone who doesn't know better or is mentally unstable.


Both are good consoles, they have different things for different people to enjoy, I personally love the kinect while others might not, its personal preference.


It all comes down to the individuals personal preference. I personally think that the PS4 is better while boar thinks that the Xbox One is better, yet we have never had an argument about it.
