Sony PlayStation 4's current shortage could last until the summer, and maybe longer.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the game console flew off store shelves after it hit the market Nov. 15.
"We're struggling to keep up with demand," Andrew House, CEO at Sony Computer Entertainment said in a statement at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco between March 17-21 The Journal reported. "Conservatively, as we get into the early summer months, we'll be closer to a full supply situation."
The situation previously prompted retailers to announce when they would have the game console in stock again.
"As expected, we experienced tremendous customer demand for the new PS4 console during the initial launch and throughout the holiday season, selling out of the consoles just as quickly as we could stock them," Darron Nielsen, Senior Merchant for GameStop said in a statement on the company's website Jan. 22 during a time when the machine was going off store shelves as fast as employees could put more out The Journal reported. "We have been working closely with Sony to replenish our inventory levels of the PS4 as quickly as possible to ensure the many customers still looking to purchase one are able to do so."
The PlayStation4 has eight x86 CPU-codes titled Jaguar, and is manufactured from Advanced Micro Devices according to Network World. It also comes equipped with upgraded graphics co-processors capable of handling 1.84 teraflops of performance according to information from Tech Hive.
The machine has 500 gigabyte hard drive that can play blu-ray DVDs. There are also eight gigabytes of GDDR5 memory or quick network speed random access memory found in graphics cards. Game makers put 176 gigabytes of network speed a second on the machine since they wanted the computer to run faster.
Six million PlayStation 4 game consoles have been sold to date The Journal reported.
