[PS4] Official PlayStation 4 Thread

PS4 in October makes my little dick move.

FYP

I really don't want to. But Sony basically forced my hand with the price. I can't foresee that thing dropping in price for years. That was one of the main things I wanted to wait on. But it will still be a "game time" decision because I can always cancel the pre-order.

Same here. I usually never buy anything right at launch, whether it's a game or a console. But Sony is teasing me hardcore on this one.

Record Breaking Amazon Video Game Pre-Order Last Week

Last week, the Amazon Video Games store made history with its biggest pre-order week ever thanks to the launch of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. In fact, at the peak of demand last week, Amazon customers were pre-ordering more than 2,500 Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles per minute.

In addition:

· The E3 week pre-orders of the two wildly-anticipated gaming consoles brought a year-over-year increase in orders of more than 4,000%, compared to consoles ordered during E3 week last year

· Day-one pre-orders for the two consoles was nearly two times that of all video games sales on Black Friday last year (2012)

Two things that really stood out with this were the number of exclusives in the first year. I thought the MS guys were trumpeting how many more they had this go around?

Another thing those guys were shouting about was the hard drive. So Sony's is removable again, like with the PS3? Any word if they are supporting external?

And the PS Eye will only be $60 if you want to purchase it separately? I'm guessing it's nowhere near as accurate as the Kinect?

If you're not including PC games in the exclusives, Titanfall should be taken off the list.

EDIT: Nevermind. Didn't realize it was called Outlast.

it has an asterisk....plus in reality we are comparing PS4 vs XBOX.

Is Amazon's PS4 BF4 Launch Edition bundle going to be released on Dec 31st, or is Amazon's date not updated? Either way I preordered.

Just a placeholder date. You can more than likely count on sometime between October 29th and November 19th.

I noticed that too. I'm sure it's because Sony still has announced an actual date so companies always use December 31st as a placeholder date.

Sony gave GameStop the go ahead to take an unlimited amount of preorders for the PS4

In a memo given to GameStop stores this morning, Sony has given the go ahead to take an unlimited amount of preorders for the PlayStation 4.
Here is the information GameStop stores received today.

1. PS4 Reservation New Information
Starting now, through this weekend and until further notice, Sony has allowed us to take unlimited preorders beyond your current allotments. In other-words, the flood gates are open for PS4 system reserves, we will let you know when to stop preordering based on limited quantities.

A source gave us this information and has been verified with a second source. We've been told that many GameStop locations weren't close to fulfilling their PS4 preorders due to a high allocation count. One store was cited to have initially 24 PS4's allocated for preorders, which then increased to 138 systems throughout the week. Currently that location has 66 preorders for the PS4. In contrast with the Xbox One, there's 12 preoders with an allocation of 18.

Last week, Andrew House, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, told The Wall Street Journal that "demand may outstrip supply," after Sony raised their internal sales projections for the next-gen console. Jack Tretton from Sony was told by GameStop executives that the chain would buy "every single unit" that Sony can produce if they could.

According to this leaked memo, it seems like GameStop may just be doing that. Either Sony has just given GameStop a huge supply of PS4 systems or this is a push to fulfill their previous allocation numbers. Either way, this seems like out of the norm for a console that is expected to be in short supply.

Either they are super confident in how many consoles they can manufacture by launch...or some people are going to be really bummed when they're cashing in their preorder in March 2014.

I'm thinking it's way more the latter. How on Earth can you tell the biggest game retailer in the World to just go ahead and take "infinite" pre-orders? You know why? Because Gamestop will come out looking like the bad guy when all those orders aren't filled. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of G$ but in this case that would be a really shitty thing to happen to them.

Who are customers going to be screaming at? Sony for not meeting demand or GS for not filling the pre-orders? Exactly.

It's a win-win for Sony and quite possibly a lose-lose for GS.
