Dominating That`s a lot of consoles. Seems like it would be hard to keep up with demand.


pretty sure it is extremely hard to do that lol


Well you need to think of how many people are looking to purchase a current generation console at the moment. Millions to say the least, i'm surprised that either company is currently able to meet the demand of consumers.

Knack This is a pretty high number, surely the PlayStation would have been higher than this?


It would be a lot higher if they were to keep up with the demand.


They could have sold WAY more but they decided to wait till the new year to replenish their stock.



I know a lot of people who did not get consoles because of this


It wouldnt surprise me but Im not saying that they would sell more im just saying they were waiting to send out more.


Yeah, they would get more money if they kept up with demand i agree
