Sony preparing against PS4 post-launch sell-out
Following the news that more than one million people have pre-ordered a PlayStation 4 for launch day, Jack Tretton told Fox Business that the PlayStation business is "at an all-time high right now". But he insisted that Sony would be able to refill post-launch stock despite the huge demand from pre-orders.
"We want to make sure people can buy a PS4 on November 15 [November 29 in the UK] and through the holidays, so we're holding back some inventory to make sure people will be able to buy one," he said.
"We can pre-sell every unit we can manufacture, and the good news is that production yields have been phenomenal. We're going to work very hard to make sure that every consumer that wants one gets one."
In the UK, Sony and select retailers have warned customers that new PS4 pre-orders will not guarantee a system on launch day.
In his interview, Tretton was asked to discuss the advantages the PS4 has over its newest rival system, Xbox One. In response, he claimed that Sony is delivering a more powerful machine at $100 less with, he said, the best and most diverse console launch game line-up.
Sony has confirmed a PS4 release date of November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe. The console will be available in 32 countries this holiday priced at £349 / €399 / $399.
In Japan, the system's launch has been delayed to February 22.

570KatsumiRaciCHP i still dont know which console i want more.
You should go with Xbox ;) haha
Just take a look at the news articles based on both and take games into consideration as well, when you make the decision on what console to buy make sure it's an educated one
I would just get both of them if I had the money, I don't even have enough money for one of them at the moment.
getting both of them would be a waste of money.
i Would get Ps4.

-InsanelyAwesome- I expect both consoles to suffer from shortages, the gaming community is growing bigger and bigger every day. Am just thankful I pre ordered mine when there was stock left.
Yeah I agree with what you said BUT its precarious pre-ordering early when you are unsure what is up for grabs

It's good that Microsoft and Sony are trying to supply the demand but there will definatley be people unhappy on release day. Also there will be a lot of crime when the consoles release people getting mugged etc from midnight launch.
I agree, when I went to get GTA V Special addition they said they already sold out and that they have to bring 500,000 copies in for the demand I was shocked that, that many people were buying the game.
