PS4 Pro in short supply in the UK

Since its October launch, PlayStation VR has been in short supply and we’ve known why – despite being the latest hardware from Sony, the company was focused on PS4 Pro which helps drive a better VR experience. With that goal in mind, PlayStation has been hard at work at not only producing PS4 Pro units, but also working closely with developers to drive better gaming experience like that seen in Horizon: Zero Dawn. Still, perhaps excluding launch week, PS4 Pro has never been hard to come by here in the US but things are apparently very different in the UK.

Simon Sayers from PSU:

 PS4 Pro stock shortages since launch have prevented many gamers in the UK for getting their hands on Sony’s powerhouse new console 

The gist of the article is about how you can still get a PS4 Pro if you’re ok a with a bundled option though even those aren’t easy to find. All this begs the question – why is it so hard for gamers in the UK to find a PS4 Pro? The cynic would say it’s because Sony wants to sell more expensive bundles but as I said, even those aren’t available everywhere. But more so, I doubt Sony is being that short sighted with their PS4 Pro vision.

Not sure what’s happening but with Xbox One Scorpio set to arrive in the latter part of 2017 and their commitment to PSVR which is greatly enhanced with PS4 Pro, they need to make sure there are ample consoles on store shelves. Have you had a problem getting a PS4 Pro or are they readily available in your area?
