Sony to GameStop: "The Flood Gates Are Open for PS4 System Reserves"

In a memo given to GameStop stores this morning, Sony has given the go ahead to take an unlimited amount of preorders for the PlayStation 4.

[Xwow2008]

Release the Kraken.

[Nevers]

Damnit now I just want to see some good ole Ray Harryhausen movies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[indysurfn]

Am I the only person that caught this?
Now they are being successful by using the term:"offline game".

Did you catch that, if you install a "OFFLINE game" then you will not have restrictions, that is the condition.

What defines a "OFFLINE game" What if only one game has the label of offline game on it? Most likey candidate would be a turned based rpg.
Heck what percent of games don't have a component of online on 360 games right now? Microsoft almost required it with few exceptions.
If there is a term "OFFLINE game" as a condition. for you to not have to get online.

Microsoft qoute:An internet connection will not be required to play OFFLINE Xbox One games....If they where not trying to fool you it would
read:An internet connection will not be required to play Xbox One games. see the difference? I don't care if it drops to 199 It is still taking away my used games rights!!! plus as I pointed out the DRM issue is conniving explained to fool us? This is what Microsoft meant by they will make this CLEAR. (MORE TRICKY) This could just be a feature on the back of the box. So if they dont make a offline box like they have a 'online multi player' capable box on the back of the disc it is okay to still drm you to there hearts are content!!!

[insomnium2]

Man I wish they gave us a launchdate to look forward to.

[solidjun5]

@indysurfn Why are all your posts about the same? Me think you're spamming.

[zeee]

The Oracle gave us a prophecy. Come 2013, PS4 will be "The One".

[S2Killinit]

@indysurfn
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft is fooling everyone. They know once you make the mistake of purchasing their hitlerbox you wont be likely to return it.

[ThanatosDMC]

Anyone know how much the pre-order is? I really wanted to order this on newegg instead of Gamestop... but looks like Gamestop it is.

[FFXI101]

ThanatosDMC.

GameStop is $100 down, Bestbuy is $25 there are no limited spot for preorder of PS4, but there is limited spot for Xbox one.

[Benchm4rk]

@indysurfn

Seriously dude give it up already. That's like the 3rd thread where you have posted the same dribble. It has nothing to do with this topic. We all get your but hurt about the Xbox One reversing there DRM. Get the f#$k over it. If your not gonna buy one fine. Mine and thousands of others a still pre ordered and I couldn't care less what you think. Shut up and go get your PS4 on launch day

[ThanatosDMC]

Thanks for the info.

[fr0sty]

indy, give it up. It says "offline game" because PS+ is required to play a game online, so they can't say you can play an online game with no restrictions considering that requirement. If they did just say "game" instead of "offline game", it would be false advertisement. Your argument is dead. Go find a new one.

[The_Con-Sept]

PS4 pre orders are going fast... At my gamestop it is at 78.

Unlimited doesn't mean jack squat. How the hell are they supposed to hold as many pre orders for a console in those tiny stores????? Even a semi truck can barely hold a few hundred thousand of them.....

( oh come on that was funny!)

@ indysurfn

No one really cares about what Microsoft's evil plan is because it hasn't been widespread yet. In due time people will realize what the hell is going on. But for now let it simmer

[s8anicslayer]

@Xwow Man curse you because when I read that comment all contents in my mouth like my coffee had to be cleaned off my monitor and workstation...thank you! :)

[Sitdown]

They just better make sure I get my launch day edition before they go to crazy.... I got the email from Amazon, but would have a serious problem if orders being allocated to gamestop messed it up.

[b_one]

Kraken died in God of War 2.

[MWong]

The Kraken always dies.

[bganci]

Spoiler Alert Thanks a lot lol

[b_one]

@bganci, damn its and old game... ;)

[Nevers]

Kraken also dies in
(spoiler)
FF1

Methinks this Kraken thing is stronger than we first anticipated.

[MegaSackman]

Then, unleash armageddon.

[kreate]

There's another kraken in resistance 2.

[ThanatosDMC]

Kraken doesnt die in Tactics Ogre: Let's Cling Together because it becomes one of your soldiers.

[Timesplitter14]

@MegaSackman
Armageddon died at the hands of Bruce Willis

[wenaldy]

WTF, no one mentioned Pirates of Carribean :(

[Daves]

Still needs a good unleashing!

[badz149]

Clash of the Titans, anyone?

[Wintersun616]

Pffft. Kraken is a pussy. Release Cthulhu!

[MazzingerZ]

SONY is a HW manufacturer as well which positions them with a unique advantage over MSFT, they have better relations in that area at lower costs as a result of long time partnerships.

That's why they can deliver quality HW, higher specs at lower costs even when there might be a loss it's not as big as if it was MSFT delivering that HW... no power brick and still a slim console says everything about design and component used by SONY, X1 has probably no lock for the disc...by the way, has X1 still a disc tray besidesgigantic powerbrick?

[slazer101]

^this. Now they are considering selling off some of there entertainment holdings to strengthen their electronic division. Just goes to show where they want to go in the future. which is great to hear. I hope the shareholders approve it.

http://www.theepochtimes.co...

[nunley33]

Slazer i read some big investors suggested spinning off their entertainment properties into a separate company and sell off things like the insurance and the medical device co. Pepsi spunoff their kfc,taco bell, pizza hut restaurants plus frito lay into yum brands and that has worked well for them.

[thehitman]

@slazer and nun

I think they were only considering that because some bigshot investor was threatning some type of take over where Sony wasnt pleased about hearing. They want to divide their assets to protect them w/o losing too much control on them.

[YNWA96]

Sony orgasms people?

[badz149]

those line used to produce the PS2 is not going to do nothing now, is it?

[Death]

Sony is selling off quite a bit. They sold off their award winning world headquarters in Japan and the hq in the U.S. for 4 billion so they could post about a 1 billion profit this year. Had they not, they would have lost over 3 billion.

There is a reason Sony did not design the PS4 hardware and instead went to AMD like Microsoft. The higher specs at lower costs is not accurate, both systems use an AMD Jaguar CPU and an AMD 7000 series derived GPU. They both have a Blu-ray drive and 8 gigs of RAM. The performance difference is due to the different RAM used by each. Sony went with GDDR5 which is GPU RAM and Microsoft went with DDR3 CPU ram and added a buffer to increase speed. The "raw" power of the PS4 looks better on paper since GPU ram is faster, but there are latency issues that prevent GDDR5 from being used for CPU's. For a CPU, DDR3 is much more efficient. Neither console has better ram since neither is ideal for a combined CPU/GPU configuration.

Slim is nice, but airflow is nicer. We will have to wait and see if the compact PS4 is better than the more spacious XboxOne. Both are PC based and the best PC's are not slim in any way. If the PS4 runs hot, the pen and paper power everyone is using to determine it's specs will need to be scaled back in order to run cool enough. Only time will tell.

These two consoles are all but identical right now. Both have the same specs and hardware. Both have paid online. Neither has the dreaded DRM that would have made gaming better or worse depending on your perspective. The only thing seperating them is the games. If you are not making your decision based on games, you are deciding for the wrong reason.

As far as lower cost, what are you comparing? As we get closer to launch, both are going to be priced pretty close to another. The $399 launch PS4 is all but "sold out" and being replaced by forced bundles. Being to buy a game or controller you don't want isn't much different than buying a camera you don't want.

[N4Flamers]

@death.

I think you overlooked that the ps4 has the better gpu 1.8 tf vs x1 at 1.2. The other thing people freaking forget all the time is that the x1 runs 3 separate operating systems at once. This puts a strain on their already slower ram. They've allocated 3 gigs of ram for this where as sony is only using 1.

[josephayal]

the kraken is on the reacta

[GribbleGrunger]

I think it's a given that Sony can manufacture more consoles than MS considering the yield problems but I don't think it's just because of that Sony are doing this. I think what Sony are doing is channelling more consoles through Gamestop, making them the primary source. There will probably be less stock going through none gaming sources such as Walmart or ASDA.

[thehitman]

I just believe the more consoles that are pre-ordered the more stock Sony can prepare for during launch and I believe Sony wants to meet total demand. They are probably revving up the production like crazy atm. Its just good business sense to ship as many as possible and capitalize on the lead they have in terms of hype and demand.

[dmeador]

@hitman

Thats not really true. Companies are very careful about the amount of product they have out there. In a perfect world they would have the exact amount they need to sell. Every unit that isnt sold has a cost attached to it. Game Stop knows this as well. Its a complex guessing game

[thehitman]

@dmeador

Yes good point but having pre-order helps eliminate that guessing of what the demand is. I know that not everyone who pre-orders will follow through but its the ultimate measurement test that Sony can get and will ever get when it comes to demand. After launch they wont be able to gauge what the demand will be so they dont want to under shoot the demand potentially giving the competition sales due to lack of availability. When it comes to consoles they will be selling lot hotcakes throughout the first 3 months nov-january so its very hard to over shoot supply in Sony case.

[cervantes99]

By Kraken I assume you mean Mark Cerny's beautiful beast - wait that may have sounded wrong :)

[FamilyGuy]

With everyone distracted by GameStop having so much in stock hopefully I can walk in on launch day and get mine from Walmart. Walmart isn't currently accepting Site-to-store pre-orders, only pre-orders that deliver it to your house, and I don't want it sitting on my damn doorstep lol.

I'm adamant about walmart because I get a 10% discount there making my total cost $392.36, that's with tax included.

[SIX]

Looks like Sony nailed production.

[Oldman100]

They seem to have nailed everything so far!

[opinska]

Lol +bubbles for funny

[3-4-5]

I see what they did here. Smart move.

Now that XB1 is a better option than it previously was Sony is thinking maybe some of the people might go with XB1 because they couldn't pre-order PS4..

This way....if the only reason they were getting an XB1 is because PS4 pre-orders were full....this cancels that out.

They want to take advantage of the hype going on right now before it settles a bit.

[showtimefolks]

the gamestop in my area is getting 65 ps4's and 8 xbox one's

as of 4 days ago 61 ps4 were pre ordered

[nosferatuzodd]

lol they don't really want me to unleash the dragon

[Enigma_2099]

@indysurfn

I'm sorry, but yeah. That's common sense. The only way you can play an online game is with an internet connection. I hate to sound like a Microsoft apologist, but the thing here is that they're not, to my knowledge, requiring an internet connection for ALL games. As in, you won't have to be online to authenticate the game before you play it.

[DOOMZ]

XBOXONE pre orders are open now as well, awesome!

[MRMagoo123]

yay the 7 MS have ready to be made will sell like hot cakes

[fr0sty]

Got em' by the strings.

http://s10.postimg.org/s7c2...

[Themba76]

the kraken one of my favorite drinks.

[MRMagoo123]

if you mean that newish rum i would have to say no , i had a whole bottle of that stuff and it did nothing to me considering the price i was pissed off and will stick to wild turkey from now on.

[Arai]

Maybe there were some truth to those 16m shipment DigiTimes reported after all?
This is rather interesting because it seems like there is an unlimited supply, which is great news for gamers obviously.

Global launch and domination inbound?
The stars certainly are aligned for the PS4.

http://alien.untergrund.net...

[kneon]

What I think this means is that yields are good enough that they can fulfill any pre-orders. And pre-orders are good enough that they are willing to ramp up production.

[MegaMohsi]

wow looks like quantity won't be an issue for Sony this holiday saeson

[Testfire]

Good news, it means scalpers on Ebay can suck it lol.

[MWong]

Man that reminds me of the outrageous prices on the current gen consoles during the holidays and the Ebay scalpers.

[LordHiggens]

Hey...people will pay what people will pay for...

I simply offer the product at a price...I make the delivery and receive payment.

With this news though...it's certainly sad to hear for my wallet.

[Armyntt]

I do it with every single console release. I personally preordered 6 PS4's. Only 3 at first but demand went up so I did so with my preorders. I also have 4 X1's. If they dont sell worse case i return with full refund. Its free money.

[Consoldtobots]

lol keep it up geniuses, soon you will be getting hit with a summons by your local cockroaches for doing business as a reseller without paying them off first.

[Mikelarry]

just hope i get mine on time no delays

[ginsunuva]

Stop feeding the troll below me. I whoever actually replies to him is stupider than pisquounet, himself.

| | | | | | | | |
vvvvvvvvvvvv

[NihonjinChick]

Damn it. And I ordered an extra PS4 to sell when the supply got low. I guess, I'll just keep it incase.

[moparful99]

LOL I bought two as well thinking I'd do the same thing... Ohh well one for the living room and one for the bedroom I guess lol

[Dancinsolo]

Money bags McGee

[ironmonkey]

Oooo gonna preorder another one.

[whoyouwit04]

Why?

[NihonjinChick]

Always good to have a back up.

[dumahim]

Why not? It says they'll accept unlimited orders for this weekend and until further notice. That doesn't mean supply won't be limited 4-5 months from now. And on the rare chance supplies won't be limited, cancel the order.

[MooseWI]

Take that, people that sell theirs on release day for ungodly amounts of money. Lol.

[teedogg80]

Great news for those that were not able to preorder. Jump on it now people.

[ShowGun901]

heck, even with the horrific price of the ps3, it sold out day one... unless im mistaken, even the wii u sold out day one, didn't it? (if not that was its best selling day lol)

they probably figure if m$ sends 20 to each store, and they send 100, day one they'll outsell xbone 5:1... you can always count on people who don't care either way, and will buy whichever one is in stock. If theres even one person like that in each store, (and there will be, trust me!) thats X amount of extra sales stolen from M$...

americans have a problem with delayed gratification lol!

[socks]

WiiU never sold out. At least not in DC.

[infamousinfolite]

Where I live at both Wii and PS3 were sold out. Couldn't find any anywhere 'til late next year.

[ShowGun901]

tbh im not sure i didn't follow the wii u too close lol

[THEDON82z1]

RIGHT I live in the dc/metropolitan area and that sh@t never sold out, it just sat there collecting dust, hell I bought one for my son and everybody keep talking to me like I play the dame thing!!! Even though I WILL BE ON ps4 my son loves all games and as long as he brings me good grades I don't really care what he wants!!!!
*except that xdone console*

[T2]

I just walked into ebgames a month after ps3 released and picked one up... Gonna do the same this year . Never fails even though people insist on the preorder

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

A veritable tidal wave of PS4s incoming.

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

If only I knew how to make gifs. I had the perfect idea for this. lol. :/

Can someone else make it? a HUGEEEEE ps4 tidal wave made up of only ps4's with Kaz riding it like a surfer. that would look dope. lol

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

Haha, I had the same image in my head but I can't make gifs either.

[sway_z]

This is great for everyone with an intent of purchase...but I value reliability over high quantity.

I was not impressed with the early PS3 and 360, mass hardware unreliability.

Keep it Quality Sony :)

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I believe the "standard" architecture this time will help out both units, especially for the PS4 without the extra workout that Microsoft had to go with for the RAM, and with GDDR having a lower power/heat source. As long as they put proper heatsinks in, I don't think failure rates should be higher than the usual expected bad eggs.

[sway_z]

Thanks for taking the time out to reply :)

[sic_chops]

Yep... I see another win for Sony yet again this generation. They are starting strong and as always, will finish strong

[Majin-vegeta]

Nuff said.
http://youtu.be/xSLlZh9yelk

[MasterCornholio]

Dang and some rich guy said that he will give them away for free at his birthday party.

I hope he can get enough of them and maybe i will sneak into his party.

Edit: Wow ever since the unveiling of the XBOX One the XBOX fans are getting extremely aggressive.

[killacal13]

I hope I can get mine by january. PS4 FTW

[Jamaicangmr]

Yes gonna get my 2 preordered T.O.D.A.Y.

[Cryptcuzz]

I already preordered my two at Gamestop the moment it was available. Had to deposit $100 each for them but well worth it if you ask me!

[buynit]

I wonder if thats good or bad.. I really want a ps4 day one, are they really going to be ready with enough consoles? I probably will reserve today but when it launches i dont want to have to wait weeks or months for mine.

Seems like sony was really ready so far, i think ms thought they had another yr. How else can you be so un-informitive about all the restrictions.

[WeedyOne]

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. I really hope they don't take more orders than they can deliver. I'll be super bummed if I don't get my console on launch because of this...

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Well why haven't you pre ordered already?

[WeedyOne]

@KwietStorm

I preordered about a week ago, still worried that they may let too many people preorder which could possibly lead to a 1st come 1st serve at launch scenario among those who preordered. I don't plan to be there at midnight but instead after work the next day, I don't want to be screwed out of my launch console.

Probably being paranoid but unlimited preorders kinda scare me.

[jts1891]

You guys honestly think that Sony actually has an unlimited supply of the PS4?

Haha...

This is all about driving up demand by creating shortages.

[harrisk954]

I don't believe that they said "unlimited supply"... but the implication is that they have a lot more supply planned for the pipeline. As it gets closer and those the new supply dries up, they will probably stop taking pre-orders again. I would assume that Gamestop, Amazon, BestBuy, etc. knows what their initial allotments are going to be.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Obviously they don't have an unlimited supply. Jack Tretton isn't crapping them out. They said unlimited reservations. They probably feel comfortable being able to quickly restock the stores after they'll first batch sells out.

[RedHawkX]

im thinking that sony will have 6 million consoles ready just for this year of 2013. sony knows what they are doing. they probably even said speed up the production and such.

[jessupj]

Can you explain to me how 'opening the floodgates' creates a shortage?

[RiPPn]

Wasn't there a story a couple days ago that was a presser from Sony stating demand will outstrip supply?

[Double_O_Revan]

Yes there was. Those words were srraight from Jack's mouth. Now let's flip a coin and see which crazy side is right. Jack or GameStop.

[sic_chops]

Not unlimited but apparently they don't have yield problems like somebody else does.

[MysticStrummer]

They're not changing business plans less than six months before launch, so there's that.

; )

[JW1080]

I think they were originally planing on a world wide release. Now they are only focusing on Europe and United States for launch, if I'm not mistaking. Since that is where the majority of Microsoft's biggest fan base resides. Does anyone know if the stand will come with the PS4 console?

[calidredz]

This is a marketing move, supply is always short, always has been on day one. They just wanted to match MSoft,s add of supply for the media win. I have three of each pre ordered and will make a killing come this holiday season.

[WickedLester]

Does it confirm if these "unlimited pre orders" are launch day guarantees?

[ginsunuva]

I'll take 20

[madara0sama]

I'll take 100.

[o-Sunny-o]

I'll be pre ordering my 5th PS4 then! ^~^
(I got 3 on Amazon for free and Gamestop only one)

[Cryptcuzz]

What why so much man!?!?

If you are giving them away as gifts, can we be friends??

[americanGTA]

Xbox is officially dead

[ruefrak]

I think Sony is a lot further along in production than anyone (other than digitimes) thinks. They have a few bombs left to drop. They still have a massive line-up of games from their studios that have yet to be announced. And then I think they will shock everyone and say they are launching the last weekend in October or the first weekend in November in the US. Then Nov. 13 in Europe.

[devwan]

GS will definitely be pushing the cheaper, better value and more powerful ps4 - not just because of those reasons, but because they know they can sell magnitudes more units and therefore games along with them vs the trickle of machines from ms.

[PositiveEmotions]

OMG THANK YOU SONY YOU SAAAAAFED ME NOW I CAN WAIT UNTIL AUG BUT FUCK IT IMA PRE ORDER IT AS SOON AS FUCKING POSSIBLE!!!!

[Destrania]

Great news. Let Playstation domination commence and continue.

[ironmonkey]

One for the 60" tv in the mans den and another for my computer room for more of a competitive gameplay using a monitor. It will look nice beside the computer.

[Sarobi]

This should be interesting.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

Esp. if xbone's yield issues are still a problem,

[Prcko]

crazy stuff...
sony domination is so huge!!!

[jasonen]

Sony's going for the Kill.

[WickedLester]

To quote an industry insider...

"Sony's design team absolutely smashed it this time. No PS3 style production issues or expense. Amazing job by Mark Cerny!"

[wynams]

Was just told this by Gamestop this morning as I traded in my fat 40GB PS3, extra Dual Shock and blu-ray remote ...

158.60 towards a PS4!

[reko]

nice nice!

[isyourhouseonfire]

Sony better cash in while it can because when the reviews start to come in the purchases will stop.

[reko]

MS better watch out.

[Cryptcuzz]

What are you saying? Can you speak present time language and not your future time language? Since I cannot understand how you would be able to know this.

Kthxbai.

[isyourhouseonfire]

Refer to current generation's results.

[Lionsguard]

You mean how Sony beat Microsoft in worldwide sales? Or you mean in just America because to you, that's the whole world?

[reko]

@iseeyourhouseonfire

sony beat ms in worldwide sales ms troll.

[Zechs34]

Refer to this generations results?

Ok... Here goes.

Overtook Xbox sales WW? Check
Best and highest rated exclusive games? Check
Still the best Blu Ray player? Chek
Actual high def and 3D output? Check
Console most used for movies (Netflix, amazon)? Check

K. Thx. Bye

[S-T-F-U]

^^^Wut?

Where did you get that ridiculous information from?

"-XBOX 360 sales are nearly double the PS3"

No. PS3 has marginally over took the 360 in world wide sales. Considering the PS3 came out 1 year later than the 360 I would say that's quite a achievement.

"-XBOX 360 puts out 1080p, PS3 720p"

No. Both output MOST games in 720p. There are a select few that are 1080p across both platforms.

"-XBOX 360 higher streaming audience on Netflix/Amazon"

I've no idea about this so I won't comment.

"-XBOX 360 highest fan and critic ratings for exclusives"

You've been smoking crack haven't you? Naughty boy.

"-PS3 has Blu-ray"

10/10 for observation. It also has a power button that when pressed makes it power on and play games.

[Zechs34]

Poor Kid, he must still be living in 2007... SMH

This is why we cant have nice things people! Please take note of "isyourhouseonfire" on how not to behave so that you may be a likeable person.

[NothingToGainButLove]

LOL, that guy just pulled some 360 stats out of his ass. Worst trolling ever.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

you mean SKY-ROCKET, from word of mouth.. and friends showing friends..?..!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cryptcuzz]

"Refer to current generation's results"

Last time I checked the PS3 worldwide sales are ahead of the Xbox 360.

Your comment makes no sense.

[Rockstar]

He may be referring to north american sales. I think they are somewhere in the area on 44 mil to 26 mil in favor of the 360.

He's still full of it though.

Don't feed the trolls.

[ryanhoward6]

The only way Xbox will win this gen is with a HUGE price cut. They have lost hardcore gamer's trust with the DRM (even tho they reversed it), and if u wanna get casuals, you hafta be cheaper than Nintendo's box.

[shadyiswin]

hardcore gamers actually understood the drm was for the good of the community it was only you idiot cry babies who didnt get it,so instead of developers making more money and gamestop making less,cheaper new games and cheaper used games,we will stuck in the normal way of here $20 store credit for a game we will turn around and sell used for $54.99 and pocket 100% really idiotic of the industry to allow this and people want game prices to drop,dont happen anytime soon,if the policy didnt change you would of seen new releases for $39 more frequently till we eventually got away from gamestop all togther,but of well,my money goes to walmart anyways,i never buy used and there games get marked down fairly quickly,that said can anyone give e a legit reason to own a ps4? what are the must have titles for 2013?

[T2]

Haha you cant even pick one intelligible statement outta that mess ... Where did you get the idea ms would gift you cheaper games ? Kookaid drinker right here !
One good reason to buy a ps4 ? HAHAHAHAHA

[MasterCornholio]

"hardcore gamers actually understood the drm was for the good of the community"

Yeah which is why hardcore gamers started campaigning against Microsofts DRM plans which lead to Microsoft dropping their DRM policy's due to an incredibly low number of preorders.

[Heavenly King]

Unlimited Pre-Orders?

UNLIMITED POWA!!! XD

[Fakdafakinfakerz]

My wallet is wide open too.

[T2]

Thats what she said

[PurpHerbison]

I said I wouldn't support GameStop last gen and I did on a few occasions.. But this gen, I will not. Amazon is the way to go.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

this is where a man preordered because he gets free shipping

[Chevalier]

My store it's definitely the case. I came into work and was told to take as many preorders as possible.

Results so far:

PS4 = 136 preorders (sold 47 units in day and a half)
Xbox One = 16 preorders (out of allocation of 30)

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

http://n4g.com/news/1282320...

So then I guess this Article is obsolete now lol THIS IS INSANE THOUGH!!

Now, how about you do the same for online retailers sony lol now a days alot of people have preference of online shopping over walk ins. well, atleast it looks that way.

I am beyond excited. this is going to be an amazing year.

[MohammedAlShalan]

quantity over quality?
I DON'T GIVE A HACK JUST BRING MINE!

[ElementX]

Once again people have to start a sales war. Both consoles will sell at the end of the day it doesn't matter how many, just as long as developers are making enough profit to continue making games.

[shadyiswin]

the ps4 will be delayed,you'll be lucky to get one before xmas preordered or not,guarantee it. Isee the xbox one in limited supply for 11/15/13 or very close too,i run the electronics dept,i dont pre-order anything,ill have the consoles at my disposal before they go to the sales floor,one of the many perks of my job. Ill be posting pics of the ps4 and xbox one when they do come in.

[Lionsguard]

I certainly hope they're churning out PS4s by now.

[Darkshader01]

C'mon Nintendo gamers, time to pre-order your PS4 :)

[Kos-Mos]

Where are the pc loyalists? I reckon this is a mediocre system compared to normal specs today. Isn't that why it's cheap to produce?
Uncertain to agree or disagree to my post? Let me give you an even more difficult standppint: I'm no fanboy to Sony, ms or pc.
Objectivness ftw.

[mrmarx]

buying 3 selling 2..canou say "COME UP"!

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I really hope I do get my launch console for sure through GameStop then... I'm fully paid up!

If you preordered before our cutoff that we had then yeah you will for sure. We were told by Sony to push for sales because EB?Gamestop have a deal in place that guarantees our units. They will pull stock from every retailer EXCEPT us. Hope that helps ease your worries!

Thank you! I sincerely appreciate it... it's just I remember when I preordered my 360, I wasn't even going to get it at launch but then a dude dropped out of his reserve so it freed one up for me and I was next in line!

I was just hoping it would be a smoother transaction this time around!

Hmmm, sony how I love you so.

I just hope Sony gets the sales they deserve, since they always cater to their core gamers by providing games all through out the generation, unlike a certain other company.
