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.

Ampz Well of course they are.

It's funny, but Xbox wins this one as well, not wasting their time on the lesser demand countries. It seems like Xbox One is also just more supplied.


Haha yeah, but Xbox wins on everything.

That is where you are wrong kid as ps3 as some stuff what xbox does not have eg free online i think ps4 beats that.


I would rather pay for an online service on the 360 than use the PS3's PSN. PSN is awful compared to Xbox Live. And why are you comparing free online in a PS4 thread when the PS4 will not have free online...

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 :)

Gmlukens Its the same for the Xbox, the demand is high on both


Nope no one cares about Xbox1, well not over here anyway. They are getting far less Xbox1 consoles (all retail stores here) and they still have launch consoles available. Where the PS4 sold out over 1 month ago.


Source? You sound pretty bias to me. Both consoles are selling well.


Go on Amazon. PS4 is sold out, Xbox one still has stock available, THEREFORE, making PS4 master race.


Or Xbox One just has more stock lol


shhhh. You're using logic. Don't you know that's frowned upon here?
