Over in Europe, Sony may not be able to fulfill all the pre-orders for PlayStation 4 that were guaranteed to be delivered during launch day. Now that shortage could creep into the United States.
European store ShopTo via Softpedia made a statement on Tuesday saying that all orders placed from that day onward would not be guaranteed to be delivered on the launch day, but will still accept orders with impending cancellations.
That shortage threat could reach the United States, according to Softpedia.
It’s unclear whether Sony has enough PlayStation 4's in production to fulfill orders in the United States or if a similar warning will soon be linked to worldwide pre-orders.
Analysts believe that pre-orders for next-gen consoles are much bigger than those for the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
There's multiple reasons to why this upcoming console generation is already healthy in sales. The economy is thriving compared through the majority of the last console era, financing is available all over the place (like Amazon, Best Buy, etc), and the launch prices are considerably cheaper -- especially the PS4 marked $200 less than the PS3 was at launch.
For those that need a PS4 at launch here in the US, it's strongly recommended to take action now. Otherwise, those that have a little patience can save some money with an early launch bundle.
