It's called PS+.
Couldn't MS just corner the DDR5 ram market in say July and screw them over?
What's DDR5?
It's a kind of RAM.
Or... one of those mature hardcore games that you can find on Sony hardware.

Having high hopes on its Playstation 4 (PS4) game console, Sony internally expects the machine's annual shipments to reach 16 million units in 2013 with the supply chain expected to start mass shipments in August, according to sources from PS4 component makers.
I´m going to be seriously pissed if they fuck us over again.
Was being sarcastic, there's no such thing as DDR5 yet.
"DDR5" is not a kind of RAM that exists. GDDR5 is, however.

I think we're having translation problems here. The bolded doesn't make sense: you can't reach an annual shipment in under 12 months. If they mean they can perhaps reach an annual shipment rate of 16M per year in 2013 then they may mean a shipment rate of ~1-1.33M per month by the end of 2013 (actual or financial?).
That seems unlikely, but perhaps possible? PS3 was highly constrained at launch but seems to have shipped around 1M (no firm figures, probably less) by the end of 2006. I believe their target was 2M by that time but they didn't make it.
If they are aiming for that 1.3M by end of 2013 then that could mean a stockpiled launch figure of a couple of million? That would seem about what they would want to have for a worldwide or strong US/Japanese launch.
you act as if worldwide launch is easy for Sony. you think they intentionally "fuck over" europe? Europe usually gets stuff late because it's made up of a lot of territories/countries. so there's a lot of terms and conditions unique to each country in the region that sony has to go through. This also includes stuff like accounting for all the different languages, rules/regulations, shipments per country, etc.
In contrast Japan and NA are much easier to launch in.
I'd love something like this to happen. I know it won't but it would be beautiful. :'(Are they planning it at $99? Thats the only way.

That's 128,000,000 GB of GDDR5 RAM.
Yeah, that's probably PS3 + PS4. I doubt Sony would be able to simply produce 16M new consoles.
either they are full of hubris or the PS4 is very affordable...
It's probably supposed to be 16 million for PS3 + PS4.

It's not like they've launched three consoles in Europe already and know what's needed.
Both Nintendo and Microsoft managed to launch simultaneously with their last consoles (in Nintendos case their last two consoles) and i expect no less from Sony. It´s all about prorities.

yeah, its probably just logistics. I don't think Sony would have any issues with the complexity of Europe, more with the time taken to affordably ship lots of units into markets and also supply three regions simultaneously.
I'll let you guess which...
If that means I can walk into a store on launch day in the middle of the afternoon and nonchalantly pick one up off of a shelf then I'm all for it.
But they say:
So assembly takes no time at all?
It is IKEA style! You assembly ps4 by yourself!
I dunno about Nintendo, but in MS's case, 300k units for all of Europe is hardly a sufficient launch lol.
Quite possibly. Anyone know what PS3 shipments were in 2012?
For comparison, Nintendo were expecting to sell 5.5M WiiU's by the end of March, around 1.3M per month. Just an observation.
I'm guessing it's ~10m PS3s and ~6m PS4s.

They had production problems because of the high end hardware didn´t they? The PS4 is much more conservatively built so that shouldn´t happen.
Anyway, i got my 360 at launch so 300k is better than nothing.
