GameStop no longer taking PS4 pre-orders

4.6
A spokesperson for GameStop has said that retailer has stopped taking pre-orders for the PS4.


A GameStop spokesperson has told GameInformer that "due to high demand for the system, GameStop is not currently taking additional store reservations for the PlayStation 4."

The GameStop website has listed the console as "sold out," but interested customers can submit their email address to receive new information.

Last month, a memo from Sony was leaked telling GameStop to accept an unlimited number of PS4 pre-orders, and to ignore previously defined PS4 allotment limitations. This came after Sony already warned that PS4 demand "may well outstrip supply."

Gabardine Well, here's some legit evidence that the ps4 is 'winning the console war'.


Not necessarily. And yes, this is an Xbox gamer speaking, but I do play both consoles.
SONY saying this does not instantly mean they are "winning the console war", theoretically it means they can't keep up with the demand needed, this could be for plenty of reasons, maybe they quite simply can't build the systems fast enough.

I can almost guarantee you this is just a temporary claim by SONY because it makes the company look like they are demolishing the opposition, when, in reality, SONY and Microsoft, whether you like it or not, really are neck and neck in this so-called "console war"

Please SONY fanboys, don't start quoting me and attacking me, I'm more than willing to have a civilised conversation. But don't start throwing insults like most fanboys of consoles.


To be honest, PS4 has more pre-orders than the Xbox One at all game shops/retailers. Play.com has PS4 in 3rd position in pre-orders with Xbox One 4th and at Amazon PS4 is 4th with Xbox One 13th. Its pretty clear that the PS4 currently has more pre-orders as almost every retailer seems to be running out of pre-orders for the PS4.

They are both going to be great consoles but the PS4 definatly has the edge over the Xbox One.

pyroboy926 Man. I'm an Xbox fan and will probably always be. PS4 looks great and I had no idea they had this many pre-orders. Still like how some of the people in the comments aren't taking sides though.


So am I, i've always been on Xbox side. But this year, PS4 have just made everything better. I don't really want to pay 100 extra then the PS4 price.

This is either good or bad news for Sony. They're either cracking the sales and out-selling Microsoft or their supply can't keep up with their demand.

Famous_Energy Wow PS4, you are stepping up your game :clap:


Sony has really raised their game this year when it comes to hyping up their new console.

KatsumiPosted:

The PS4 sure has been a success in sales. I should pre-order one at EB-Games quickly before the same thing happens over in Australia
