On Twitter, Game accidentally gave away their stock of PSVR and said they were getting in 6,000 with 3,000 of then selling overnight on the 15th (which was unpublicised, only way to find a link was via Twitter). I think it's safe to assume Amazon got around the same with how big they are, then ShopTo and Zavvi less. Pretty much points to a conservative, small launch in October.
MightyApe in New Zealand have confirmed that all orders now are for the second batch and that batch is coming pre Christmas. With PSVR being Amazon's number 1 seller in games for 3 days straight despite selling out the day 1 stock in minutes, hopefully Sony can keep up with demand. Honestly surprised it's doing so well. Thought that it would only sell a small amount until more people actually got to try it. |

So normally I'd be all "grain of salt" about this being on Kotaku and probably not even post this, but Klepek is usally pretty good at getting multiple confirmations and that so unless Kotaku has corrupted his brain since leaving Giant Bomb and having his beard shaved by the New Day, there's at least some substance to this.
Sony are doing a Playstation 4.5 as well to run games at 4k http://kotaku.com/sources-sony-is-wo...4-5-1765723053 I could buy internal pressure from within Sony for the Playstation division to push 4k TVs and UHD Blu Ray, so maybe? Could help get the next level for VR as well. Feels like a weird time to be on a console right now. |

I could see them upgrading to a new model, like the slim, but the 4K stuff can't be right. Maybe it'll just upscale to 4K. Patrick is probably right about the source but I don't buy the 4K speculation at all. That is way beyond a trivial upgrade, if it's even feasible.
They're coming up to the time that they could do a 'slim' edition, and maybe they want to go all in and build in something to help support the PSVR? I don't see that being the best move either, there's no advantage to increasing your hardware cost inherently. |

If developers are just being briefed and they don't have dev kits, I'm guessing we'd be 2 years away at the earliest. if AMD's new chips aren't good enough, I could see it still being billed as a 4k device as it outputs in 4k and plays UHD blu rays, but games just run somewhere between 1080p and 4k depending on graphical quality and just upscales. |

Today's News:
1) SALES:
2) A supposed image of the Nintendo NX's controller is rumored to have been recently leaked online and is very similar to a patent image revealed last December. http://www.destructoid.com/are-these...--349431.phtml 3) Microsoft announced Alan Wake, Pac-Man, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night have recently been added to the Xbox One's compatibility list. Halo Wars is expected to be among the next batch of games based on recent Xbox One preview programs. http://www.destructoid.com/castlevan...e-349413.phtml http://www.destructoid.com/halo-wars...m-349511.phtml 4) According to reports, Valve's paid user-mod store for DOTA 2 is currently dealing with similar problems that plagued the previously failed Fallout 4 mod store. At least one paid mod was recently discovered to contain about 15 art assets that were stolen or plagiarized from other mods. http://www.destructoid.com/does-dota...--349480.phtml 5) For those in Europe, Nintendo announced a special edition bundle for Star Fox Zero priced at £79.99 will include two Star Fox series amiibos, a Star Fox hat, and a Star Fox designed shirt. http://www.destructoid.com/star-fox-...e-349529.phtml 6) Telltale Games teased they will reveal more details regarding their upcoming Batman game during their panel at SXSW tonight. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/fir.../1100-6435782/ |

Interesting clarification:
it's just what Sony is talking about to devs though, but they must see some kind of affordable possibility. |

4k games at lower settings and frame rates won't look great tbh. I would rather they target 1080p, high or 1440p, mid-high and upscale to 4k rather than native 4k. |

Just thinking aloud at the possibilities. Like I said, Klepek has proper journalist chops unlike most people in games media, so if he has multiple sources saying the same things, Sony at least have something in the idea pipline. |

If this isn't a PS4 Slim or whatever, then I would assume it's a zen based APU with native HBM and DDR4. |

If they can't get HBM on an APU, I think that's all they can do. Honestly, we could wait, but I think speculating is the most fun we can have in the current console clusterfuck. At the turn of the year, I thought it would only be VR and Nintendos new thing to look forward to, but now it seems MS and Sony want to complicate things! Even if I don't want to buy their new things, I kinda like it.

Since my laptop has a better CPU than my 2500k, might even see how these external graphics cards work out and cosider plugging one of them into the laptop rather than upgrade the desktop. |

Eh, the rumors I mentioned are already out there from a lot of "journalists" so it's nothing new. They could be true, or false.
Yeah, I am waiting on benchmarks and FCAT frame rates on eGPU vs PCI-E GPU myself. |

I love how massive a baby you are about all this. In addition to all your other flaws, you're a massive console warrior and have harboured a grudge for weeks because of what your beloved company is doing. So all you can manage to take out is that I must suck Sony's cock. Maybe you didn't leave #gamergate, maybe they kicked you out because you were too bias.

MS asked in a survey of your like to "trade in" your digital games for 10% of the cost.
For £5 I'd probably just leave them in case I ever get the itch to play again. |

The cost of the game at current level? Or the cost of the game you paid originally?

Also, it was quite funny as part of Sony's statement said they were "looking into other job opportunities for those affected" and a bunch of Americans were going "At least Sony is doing the right thing!"... No, they actually legally have to in the UK. We have employment laws here.
