The PS4 launch has met expectations, and retailers are “very happy”, Ron Curry, CEO of Interactive Games & Entertainment Association told CN.”It has sold out everywhere”.

EB Games today confirmed “no stores will be able to sell you a PS4. If you pre-order now, you’ll have to wait until 2014,” via Twitter. JB HiFi first and second shipments are already sold out, with third shipments due 2014, according to its website.

But “its too early to tell” whether the Xbox One, launched a week ago selling 1 million in 24 hours worldwide, or PS4 , which said it sold 1.5 m in US alone, will be more successful. “Initial sales are based on supply not demand,” says Curry.

Sony PS4 will have an 8-core x86 processor, enhanced GPU, 8 GB of unified GDDR5 memory, and a secondary custom chip to handle social features and uploads/downloads.
