For the longest time, it seems that the main goal of more people was to find where they can get the PS4 or Xbox One, since there is still the window starting early next year wherein next-gen consoles may need a break for more production.

But it seems that some people are not convinced that the PS4 has sold out in most retailers, as SCEA CEO Jack Tretton had to show it via an official announcement that the shortage may come to stay.

"Do you create an artificial shortage because you want there to be a feeding frenzy? No, you don't," said Tretton to GameSpot. "You have competition out there; there are lots of things that people can spend money on, especially during the holidays."

So it seems that the shortage of PS4 stocks really means that a lot of people are waiting to get their PS4 but has yet to receive it.

So far, there are rumours of millions of gamers still waiting for the PS4. But for now, the ball is in Sony's court and how they can play to prolong the interest and delay the frustration of gamers who can't get their hands on a PS4 just yet.
