On the PS4, Tretton said &#8220;there&#8217;s so much pent-up demand for it that we could sell every one we create. Over a million pre-orders is proof of that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is going to be the biggest launch in our history. It&#8217;s everything we can manufacture,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We want to make sure that consumers have an opportunity to buy one on November 15 and through the holidays so we&#8217;re holding back some inventory to make sure that people [who come in on launch day] have an opportunity to buy one. But we can pre-sell every unit we can manufacture, and the good news is production yields have been phenomenal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-58404 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation\/58404-playstation-4-launch-biggest-yet-for-sony\/attachment\/sony-ps4-console-boxes-2'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" height=\"68\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Sony-PS4-console-boxes-2-96x68.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Sony PS4 console boxes (2)\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-58409\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-58409'>\n\t\t\t\tSony PS4 console boxes (2)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation\/58404-playstation-4-launch-biggest-yet-for-sony\/attachment\/sony-ps4-console-boxes-1'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" height=\"68\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Sony-PS4-console-boxes-1-96x68.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Sony PS4 console boxes (1)\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-58408\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-58408'>\n\t\t\t\tSony PS4 console boxes (1)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>This news follows leaks of pictures taken inside a warehouse in China currently assembling and manufacturing Playstation 4 consoles.
