PS4 to face 4 months of shortages due to high demand in UK
Quote:
The PlayStation UK team is in crucial talks to secure more PS4 consoles, after admitting it had underestimated how popular it would be.
Sources close to the platform holder have told MCV that the current number of units expected in the UK is unlikely to satisfy demand. The machine could be in short supply for up to four months after launch.
Pre-orders have already surpassed the firm’s original predictions, and the company has had to turn off day one orders in an effort not to disappoint any eager gamers still wanting to get a machine on launch.
But Sony is worried that if potential customers cannot buy a PS4, then they may choose Xbox One instead.
“We are very excited. We are very pleased to see such a shift towards PlayStation. But we now need to think about the gamer, our retail partners and manage those expectations as much as possible.
“It is pretty inevitable that demand will outstrip supply. It’s a good problem to have, but also a tricky one.”
Hey guys which is better ps4 or xbox one? I'm not really a gamer and I want to start again but idk which one to get
Don't get any of the new consoles till a few years down the line when they're cheaper and have a more established library(like what I am doing). Get an Xbox 360 or PS3 because they are cheaper and already have a large variety of games to choose from. Plus they have GTA5 which isn't going to be on the next gen consoles...yet

I see the number one Xbone fan has decided not to buy anything... What kind of change of heart?
