PS4 US shortages disappoint Jack Tretton: it breaks my heart
You can listen to the recording over at PS Blog US, during which Tretton said, “You have competition out there. There are lots of things that people can spend money on, especially during the holidays; and the holidays only come around once a year, so that’s really when you want to take advantage of the market opportunity…It breaks my heart if somebody’s got $400 in their hand and they want one and we can’t sell them one.”
Meanwhile in Europe, PlayStation’s Andrew House stated that PS4 will be in “good supply” over the holiday season.
It follows claims that Sony has been holding PS4 stock back, a rumour that Tretton denounced during his interview.

BRS It looks like Walmart still has them in stock in my area, although only in some stores and not online.

x32 Sony shudda made more consoles, But then again what if they made too many? Then they would have the same kinda issue
They should of been more prepared for this but hey SONY broke sales records for a launch console all they need to do now is get them back on the shelves quick. Its a shame that some wont get their hand on one this Xmas but thats the way the cookie crumbles!

ODSTx32KatsumiVPN-V2 Well Microsoft has really been on the ball with stocking the Xbox One on Amazon. PS4 I have no idea what they're doing.
I'm sure that they are trying to get units to everybody. Failing.. but trying
Yeah they will, But at the moment people on Ebay are charging 3x The store prices, Because they know how hard it is to get a PS4
WOAH, WOAH ,WOAH, there! Your facts about eBay and all are completely inaccurate. The price on eBay right now averages $50 above the normal price for a PS4 which makes almost no room for profit on the seller's account once you add tax to the original sale of the console. Just an FYI, The PS4 has had tons of shipments into stores and around online, you're just not fast enough to grab one because they are selling so fast. Keep your facts straight man because you're just putting out false rumors and that's the last thing this site needs on it.
Another note, Amazon has had at least 5 shipments of PS4s. Gamestop has had at least 3 that I'm aware of. Best Buy has had 5 shipments so far. Your facts are complete lies.
Yeah. I got my ps4 a week ago no problem.
