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.

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.

My source is from asking the shops, becuase I wanted to preorder a launch PS4 and called about 15 different shops and they all sold out and all of them still had Xbox1 consoles. Your welcome to give them a call as well, EB GAMES Australia and JB Hi Fi stores, and Harvey Norman.

-InsanelyAwesome- It was obvious it was going to sell millions so I am surprised at how they have not made that many, they should of learned from shortage of PS3's after release


They likely didn't expect so many consoles to be sold. The demand for the PS4 has been absolutely huge


Well the console is cheaper than the Xbox One and People usually go for the better price .
