PS4 in Stock at GameStop

GameStop has today announced that its U.S. stores have PlayStation 4 consoles in stock.

In a press release obtained by The Wall Street Journal, the company said that it had been co-operating closely with Sony to ensure stock of the system, which is said to be selling at a "substantial rate", is available. 

Darron Nielsen, Senior Merchant for GameStop, commented: 

"As expected, we experienced tremendous customer demand for the new PS4 console during the initial launch and throughout the holiday season, selling out of the consoles just as quickly as we could stock them. We have been working closely with Sony to replenish our inventory levels of the PS4 as quickly as possible to ensure the many customers still looking to purchase one are able to do so."

GameStop advises that those looking to buy a PlayStation 4 do so quickly before stock runs out. Sony announced at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month that 4.2 million PS4s had been sold by the end of 2013. The company has set a target of five million systems sold by March 31st, the end of the current fiscal year, and based on performance to date this target should be easily achieved.
