Is there an expected shortage leading up to Christmas for the PS4 or XOne?

Very possible. I would recommend preordering now. Amazon looks to have the best prices. The ultimate bundle I'm getting is £20 cheaper than at game

 

[Dead-Man]

They Didn't even show the Boomerang Controller on that ad making players mad

Most likely will be selling out during the holidays

Both systems or just the PS4? I have done system launches in the past but I've not kept up with demand/shortages of this coming gen systems.

Probably both. That's how it's been with pretty much all new console releases. Even the Wii U had a ton of sales when it came out last year. Though past console releases were restrained by how many consoles they could produce and they're making more available this time around. It's likely though that we won't find out until after Christmas how popular the consoles really are. Until then, if they are on shelves they will probably sell really quick. If you want one though you can preorder, it won't be a launch console but you could get one after the launch when they restock.

I've done many console launches and camped out in the past. Fun times but I'm not camping out anymore. Amazon FTW. Oh the fun of tracking down PS2s, PS3s, 360s, and Wiis. I remember when the N64 launched you could buy the system but you couldn't find any games. TRU was buying games back at retail just to have some to sell to other people.

 

[darthviper107]

I never had money at the times other consoles launched so I got to miss out on that fun, but I don't mind. Amazon is awesome

 

[darthviper107]

A couple of PS4 Launch Day bundles are available on Amazon right now

I always wondered if they shorted launch systems to create more demand.

 

[darthviper107]

They manage it in some way, but last console launches all of the consoles sold out and they could have sold more if they had more production. The ideal situation is to sell as many consoles as people want without having any extra, but they would rather sell more consoles over having the idea that it's so popular that it's sold out.

I've read a few times that Sony are holding back Ps4's because they want customers to be able to walk into a shop & buy one. How long they will last in shops though is another thing

That's possible, rumors are though that they're going to be pushing more in the U.S. which is why they aren't launching in Japan until next year so that they can get more inventory to the U.S.

 

[RagingBull]

I'm still shocked Japan aren't getting there's until after the States, Europe & Oz. I wonder how that went down over there as I've always grown up envying them getting everything way before the rest of the world

They kind of have to. If they run out in the rest of the world come late nov/dec many people will buy whata available for the holidays, and before they didn't have to complete with another brand new system. They have Japan locked up so this won't hurt the sales there.

 

[darthviper107]

And they also won Europe with the PS3 so they probably don't have to worry about that either.
