According to a Walmart press release that just arrived in the inbox. I assume many other retailers will also end up with stock for the weekend.

Santa's presents are about to arrive for all the little boys and girls waiting on their new console.

Considering my Walmart had 4 PS4's at launch I don't think this is necessarily an accomplishment.

Odd sense of deja vu, it's a bit like the Wii. Now all I need to see is a "PS4 in stock" sign in the window of a high street shop and people queueing up to get one.
There was a queue in my local Sainsbury's yesterday evening when I went to pick up some booze, word had got out that they had restocked the gaming section with new PS4s. Not sure if they sold out or not, but there was a queue coming from the gaming section and a Sainsbury's guy shouting one at a time please and only one per person over and over again.

Check your local Targets. I found 2 PS4s at mine in Jax, FL. Clerk said they had just come in.
My local Sainsbury's got one PS4 in out of the blue yesterday and were so excited they actually announced it over the PR system. I saw a couple of dudes leg it towards the electronic section but I didn't see which one of 'em won.

I'm starting to get worried.
Travelling to Florida Feb. 18Th. I hope supply is plenty by then.

Best Buy's stock locator was basically sold out in my area before the stores' official open times. It was estimated by one district's average units per store that BB probably sold through around 60K on Sunday. The store by brother was at got 66 and the store a friend was at got around 80.
Walmart being walmart I'm guessing they will go through even more.

So 80-120k is what we're talking here?
The electronics department here has a sign up behind the register. I was checking out laptops and noticed the sign said Xbox One and PS4 on it, so I sidled over to check on the DVD display nearest to it and waited until there was nobody watching so I could lean in and check it out. It was kind of disappointing - one shipment coming before Christmas, expected to be the week before, no pre-orders or claims and first come, first served.
They underlined and capped the NO CLAIMS part. Does that mean no workers hiding/reserving one for themselves?

nah.. I'm guessing Sony is simply holding back units (so to speak) so that they can dump these massive shipments on the big stores. You constantly see stores getting 1-5 units, but then you get these press releases and Sunday ads from Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc.
I know on Sunday my brother was reporting people getting to Best Buy after they let the ticket holders in (and the tickets were gone) pissed that they couldn't get a system. I mean... yeah... they showed up like 15 minutes before the store's opening time... Still, one would think those same people could see this Walmart ad and show up again right before Walmart opens, and at least have a better chance getting one than they did last Sunday.

Good stuff. Looks like Sony is back in the groove of things as far as NA supply is concerned.
Not really, Amazon has not had stock in over a week
Someone else was saying a good chunk of the stock is being sent to GameStop.

Wonder when the UK will get more? Pretty sure I have checked the big places every day since launch, but to no avail.

Man Sony is making these things like nobodies business
That was Pachter. He estimated 60% of Sony shipments were going to Gamestop, going back down to 40% (or was it 30%?) after the beginning of the year.
In the same brief he said he believed Sony was at about 1.2M per month capacity with a 3 week lead time. So if that's to be believed Sony is getting 300K units to the world every week.

sigh. my luck with getting a ps4 are terrible. It being really cold here these days isn't making it any easier. There are a handful of wal-marts near by so I'll it a go.

You don't need to get a warranty if you buy from Walmart....just keep the receipt they will take anything back as long as you keep the receipt.

I think we are going to see a significant drop in sales for both consoles now that the hardcore are done.

I still have yet to see a PS4 or Bone in my two local Target stores.
Why would you pass up the #1 online shopping site in the US for that? I am not saying it is not happening, but it makes no sense really.

Do not get Walmart's Product Protection Plan (Their extended warranty). The PPP is actually through a third party, not Walmart and have a long history of not honoring their coverage. I would get the warranty though Sony since it costs just as much AND is the same length.
