PS4 US shortages disappoint Jack Tretton: it breaks my heart

4.6
PlayStation 4 appears to be in short supply in North America, according to comments from PlayStation US boss Jack Tretton. The exec appeared on an official Sony podcast and stated that it breaks his heart to turn paying consumers away.


You can listen to the recording over at PS Blog US, during which Tretton said, “You have competition out there. There are lots of things that people can spend money on, especially during the holidays; and the holidays only come around once a year, so that’s really when you want to take advantage of the market opportunity…It breaks my heart if somebody’s got $400 in their hand and they want one and we can’t sell them one.”

Meanwhile in Europe, PlayStation’s Andrew House stated that PS4 will be in “good supply” over the holiday season.

It follows claims that Sony has been holding PS4 stock back, a rumour that Tretton denounced during his interview.

I know PS4 is very hard to find at the moment the Xbox One is in stock on amazon and all other sites. I really want a PS4 when my dad gets back today I'm going to go look for one at walmart i checked the in stock tracker and it said all me walmarts have them in stock so i hope its true.
