PlayStation 4 "in good supply" throughout holiday season

Unlike Sony's previous console, there will be enough PlayStation 4 units for everybody throughout the holiday season.

Sony Computer Entertainment CEO, Andrew House, told Game Informer (via Game Kicker) that production is "good" on the next-generation console and that with their goal of moving five million units, there will be enough to meet demand.

“[This is] the first platform launch that I’ve ever been involved with where we’ve had such a good production ramp up and a good sense of supply,” he told Game Informer. ”I think that we will be in good supply in the countries that we’ve launched in. 

“I think through the holiday season that we’ll be in good supply. The sales target that I announced for the company is five million units sold by the end of our fiscal year. March 31, 2014.”

That's great news to hear compared to the PlayStation 3 launch. Sony ran into a shortage well under the one million mark they hit for PS4s in the first 24 hours.

Sony Files 'PlayStation TV' Trademark...Again

The Xbox One won't be the only console focused on content outside of video games.

For the second time, Sony files a trademark for "PlayStation TV" back in late June. IGN retrieved the status of the trademark. Computer and Video Games reports that a trademark was created in the same year the PlayStation 3 was launched, but the trademark was allowed to expire last September because nothing became of it.

Andrew House, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, is singing a different tune this time around. Last Wednesday, CVG had an interview with him and he described the market on PlayStation Network that's filled with over 110 million users.

"It's a testament to how far we've come with PlayStation 3 in building a really substantial community of networked gamers, who are also interested in other forms of entertainment.

"Whereas I think you could have slightly accused Sony of a bit of forced synergy, if we'd been trying to enact this collaboration several years ago, the fact is now, with 110 million PlayStation Network accounts worldwide, that's a substantial business opportunity for Sony Pictures to reach a different audience."

Unique content could be on the network, similar to other subscription-based programming like Netflix's Orange is the New Black or new season of Arrested Development.

We'll see if Sony actually capitalizes this time around on the PlayStation 4 and Vita, or if they just let it fall by the wayside like their new camera will probably do.
