GameStop hikes price on PS4 Camera amid supposed 'high demand'

4
GameStop, US game retailer, has recently added a $10 markup to its remaining supply of PlayStation 4 Camera as supposed demand outgrows supply. The product normally retails for $59.99 and has been honored by most outlets since the console's launch but it seems GameStop had different ideas when they listed the product for $69.99. Sony has avoided commenting with exact sales figures or even opening up to offer an explanation for the obvious supply shortage of PS4 Cameras.

While we do not comment on the sales figures, shipment or monthly production quantity, PlayStation Camera remains in high demand.Sony

lilrichard22 Isn't this why a lot of people bought a PS4? So people wouldn't have to spend extra money on a camera they wouldn't use? Why would it be on high demand?


A lot of people bought it due to Microsoft's DRM fiasco. It's also the stronger console, and it's cheaper.


Why do people keep bringing this back up?
It's really not a stronger console. Maybe by a very small

It actually is though, by about 50%. It's already been seen in games (1080p on PS4 vs 720p on the Xbox One or Tomb Raider 60fps on PS4 vs 30fps on the Xbox One).

Potion Gamestop is a horrible money grubbing company, if i was going to buy i would buy it from amazon and just boycott game stop.


yea gamestop is terrible i tried selling my new games there and they offered me $10-$20 -_-.


Well not only do they have to make money as well, they also have to look for high demanded games, clearly you don't think about that.

It's silly that only gamestop is raising the price of the camera, wouldn't that make it sell less than it's competitors?
