If you’re in the market for a PlayStation 4 Pro this summer, you may struggle to track one down in the United States right now. While consoles can be found, the system is definitely in short supply, with many online anecdotes indicating that stock is running dry around the country. We had a quick look online, and couldn’t find a console at Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy – although some stores are still taking pre-orders for the limited edition Spider-Man unit.
The supercharged system’s a little more readily available in Europe, where a new Fortnite bundle has just launched. It’s a strange situation: with God of War, Detroit: Become Human, and the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man all taking full advantage of the mid-gen refresh, you’d think Sony would want as much stock available as possible. Maybe the unit’s been selling above expectations leading to shortages – either way, it needs to be solved.

Just saw 2 at a Walmart by me. Hopefully they sell quickly lol.
They must be taking stocking lessons from Nintendo 😂
I got my ps4 pro last year before thanksgiving for 360$ brand new.i live in new york so happy with the pa4 pro.best controller ever.word up son
Still happy with my Launch PS4 OG system. This is the first gen i haven't had to replace a console last gen was 2 Ps3 and 4 Xbox 360 systems..... Ok i just realized this is offtopic
Maybe they’ve all taken off from the warehouses they’re stored in? Every time I hear the fan on mine I expect it to fly out of the window.
@ShadowWarrior Holy shi- that's a lot of consoles in one generation!
@GravyThief Take it apart and clean it, is your best bet. I know it's an annoying undertaking, but it does help.
...or perhaps Sony is gearing up for a new revision of the PS4. PS4 Pro Slim, anyone?
@Kidfried to be fair I’m being a tad flippant, as it’s only about 6 months old and it only goes really loud on occasion. Fallout 4 during conversations seems to be its favourite time to kick the fans into overdrive, no idea why. Must be that efficient Bethesda code or something.
@GravyThief I laughed at the joke for sure, haha
And that's Bethesda for sure. I played Fallout 4's DLC last month and it made my PS4 twice as loud. It's super silent again now I've moved to Metal Gear Solid V, Darksiders and eat cetera.
Get a Pro, bro!
@Tasuki Good one.
@Shadowarrior same. My launch PS4 is still going strong. Hopefully this is good sales though, because the more PS4s sold the more reason Sony has it make exclusives.
@Kidfried
well you know the whole red ring of death deal with the Xbox 360 i never had any luck till i out right quit on Xbox 360. as for the ps3 my one system died old age so its not all bad
Still happy with my launch PS4.
it's been the same for a while in the UK too, only recently has stock began to creep back in, maybe sony is having issues getting parks for the consoles?
If you don't have a 4K HDR TV I don't think it's really worth it. That said if you do I highly recommend the Pro. It's not going to make every game look amazing but games like Horizon,GOW,Ratchet and Clank,Hellblade ect really are on another level.
The next/slimmed down Pro could be with us a few months sooner than we thought. The revised slim came out a month or two ago and went completely under the radar.
If my store is any indicator then Pro's have been in hot demand for well over a year now, Scorpio's on the other hand...
Even the PS4Slim is currently out of stock on Amazon, so this could just be retailers being lazy with re-stock requests. Or 4Pros stay on shelves for too long and U.S. retailers don't like that.
With their recent report saying 3.2million units were shipped last quarter, these could be those shipments finally emptying out.
Hopefully the Spiderman PS4 Pros don't go out of stock before the street date, I'm still tempted to buy one.
@GravyThief I feel sorry for u because I bought mine day 1 and it is still very quiet. Ordered the Spiderman ps4 pro bundle too. Great bit of tech with the best exclusives on the market. I feel so sorry for the Xbox owners! Not the Phil Spencer worshipping fanboys but the fans have had nothing for over 3 yrs! The last good game was CupHead and that was an Indy. Some of these Xbox fans and specially the fanboys, they are on their 3rd iteration of the same gen console and all they have been offered is new controllers😭😭😭😭😭 All the BS that Phil and his team have fed their fans is disgusting. Where are the Horizon Zero Dawn's, the Until Dawn's, the Niohs, The God Of War type game's to show off their beautiful Xbox X-tra cash grab🤔 I will neva waste another penny of my hard earned cash on their hardware for as long as I live. They really are the EA of the console market. They are still waiting for Crack Down 3 which looks like another pile of **** game they will one day give their fans. I feel so sorry for the fans of the Xbox. Such a-shame. Cannot stick that corporation that is over flowing with nothing but hardware and empty promises!!!!
Please watch the language - Quintumply
@ToddlerNaruto I have ordered. Can't wait to play that game on that console. I think it is the best looking special edition that Sony has done this gen! Looks mint. And then the game, well what can I say! That game looks absolutely immense and I think it is gonna get goty and that is saying something when I've nearly completed God Of War and that game is amazing! It has been an epic journey for Atreus and his old man, Kratos. The God Of War, who is one mean MF!!!!
@Lloydeeee I was being a bit flippant as I replied above, it’s not that bad. It’s on Fallout 4 I notice it go into overdrive for no real reason.
I have never owned any Xbox console so I don’t have much of an opinion on them. I’ve always had more than my fill from Nintendo and Playstation. I do like what they’re doing with backwards compatibility on the X1X, I’d like Sony to take a leaf from their book for the PS5.
I don’t think I’d ever be able to use an Xbox controller if I ever did get an Xbox console. I’m so used to Nintendo’s ABXY layout I’d always be pressing the wrong button when prompted. I already get the X button muddled up between Nintendo and Playstation games!
