GameStop: PS4 May Be in Short Supply at Launch

[jscynder]

Console gaming is dying now that you wont be able to get used games and you HAVE to have an active internet connection to play single-player games. Now you can just buy new parts for your PC when the next gen consoles come out and save money.

No way, a shortage of a console on release? That is completely unheard of in the gaming industry, Sony should be ashamed.

/sarcasm

I remember the insanity when the PS3 was released.

1. People camping out for several days.

2. People bidding up to $15,000 for one on Ebay.

Sooo 900k users interest in the latest news on the PS4 equates to having NO or LIMITED stock?? Do they even know how many they will have when it launches? What a marketing tactic that they are doing here. Like I will really care that much. Sorta reminds me of the the whole Wii limited supply issues (assuming we are going to have the same issues).

Of coarse all of this might flame out when they post the cost of the PS4, so who knows. If the PS4 lists for $499 or more, there won't be a shortage of PS4's.

So name all those really cool AAA gaming titles that are out for PC... other that War/StarCraft,SIMCity and other few MMO... the goodies are on consoles.

I'm waiting for the next $150 ATI 8000 card to ship, I expect it to last me for 5+ years. A PS4 is planned for the living room. I still prefer the keyboard... but no games = no need for Windows or latest graphics cards.

Yeah, never been a shortage for a new console at launch, way to predict the future there Gamestop.

I love my PS3, but I work a lot and don't have a lot of time to play games, I'll wait for the first or second price drop.

 

[mobrocket]

so make as many pre orders as possible, so u can sell the surplus on ebay

 

[tobalaz]

just an excuse to sell "bundles" for $3k that include a Sony LCD tv and 6 games you wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole just like with the PS3.

 

[jnkweaver]

have they come up with a price yet?
