Sony warns of potential PS4 shortages in Europe
"If I look at Europe I think it is potentially, for the second year running, going to be quite inventory challenged," the executive told Reuters.
"I'm not going to say you won't be able to find a PlayStation 4," he added. "I think it's going to be kind of hand to mouth in terms of that market."
PS4 launched in the west in November 2013 before releasing in Japan this February. PS4 sales to retailers stood at 13.5 million units by the end of September. Ten million of those had been sold through to consumers by August 12, Sony claims, making the system one of the fastest-selling consoles in history.
Positioning PS4 as a gamer-centric device has played a major role in the console becoming the frontrunner in the current-gen sales race, but attracting more casual adopters may be key to Sony retaining its market lead over the coming years, according to PlayStation UK managing director Fergal Gara.

Tiffxny Cant really say much, xbox for the win.
PS4 looks like garbage to me.
I have an Xbox.
Sony products are not garbage and PS4 is probably better than Xone.

DeluxeHazard Sucks for the people who want a PS4. Good thing this doesn't affect the U.S. for those who want a PS4.
We are lucky I guess. I feel for the people in Europe.
