GameStop believes the PS4 will sell out like crazy at launch

Well, they explained the premise in a more clinical manner. Says company president Tony Bartel about the prospects of the PlayStation 4 on a conference call, as reported by GamesIndustry International: "We do believe demand will far outpace supply within the launch window, although we have been given no official numbers by Sony,"

Furthermore, GameStop regularly polls consumers, and they report that 34 percent of those questioned plan on buying a PS4 this year, which is higher than for any other piece of hardware. It seems likely, however, that the anticipated reveal of a new Xbox might change that perspective a bit. Bartel also pointed out that more than 900,000 users have signed up to be notified about any new PS4 info on the GameStop web site.
