Sony factories 'running flat out' to meet PS4 demand
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.

HumanCommonSense_Bale Just shows how much of a brilliant console it is, a very high demand for consoles..
That doesn't show anything, it just shows Sony doesn't have the amount of resources Microsoft has.
Yeah 'resources' AKA chinese children working for $1 a day
Umm.... You know Sony products are made in China also? So both companies have factories where they pay minium wage which is around $1. They don't use children. They have to be a certain age before they can work in the factories. Anyway if you have a problem with this then I want to know how you are on the internet since more than likely the computer you are using was also made in China. If the product was not made in China or somewhere the minuim wage is much higher, it would be ridiculously overpriced.

Oh, actually the early 360s were made in Mexico and Taiwan I think. But would you rather have them made in China where it's cheap, or pay $900 for your consoles?

Well just like the PS3, the 360 was made in China. But I doubt it was made my children, common sense would tell you the kids would try and steal the consoles and put them on ebay.

You do realize PS4 pre-orders are higher than XBone's right?
Yes, but what does that mean? Microsoft could sell 1,000 consoles then say they're sold out and the demand is too high.
