Sonys upcoming gaming console or in other words the Future of Gaming has made gadget lovers to fall in love with it.

A recent research by a leading gadgets retail chain has quoted that over 900 thousands of its users have signed up to receive information about PS4.

GameStop, a leading retain chain, says one of its internal consumer research survey shows a strong interest of consumers in the Sonys most anticipated gaming console.

The items which were beaten by PS4 include smartphones, portable gaming devices, tablets, laptops, smart TVs and so many other things.

Based on the survey of loyal customers of GameStop, 34% of them expect to get a PlayStation 4 in the next twelve month. Moreover, nearly 900 thousand of GameStop clients signed up to receive information about the PS4, says the survey report.

So much demand has led the bosses of GameStop to reach the conclusion that Sony is unlikely to meet the expected demand from the game lovers in the first stage.

Tony Bartel, GameStop president went on saying Although we have been given no official numbers by Sony, we do believe that demand will far outpace the supply of this product during the launch window.

Another research firm has estimated that Sony is likely to ship over 2.5 million consoles in 2013 allover the world.

Let's see what the price is, before we guess what the demand will be...and a real announcement of what MS has to offer. I do not doubt the preliminary interest, though.

Makes sense for a GameStop funded study. Chances are a GameStop customer's Playstation is a lot older than their tablet or smartphone. And, by virtue of being a GameStop customer, they play video games.

Once the prices are announced. And, MS shows off the X3. That figure will change.

What it reflects is that gamers (GameStop customers) are not anticipating the next best mobile or alternative gaming device, they are are anticipating the next best gaming console. I. e., mobile gaming on phones, tablets, etc., is not an imminent threat to console gaming.

Talking about the specs already leaked, and if they hold true, I doubt that the figure would change actually.

Now, when the -prices- will be revealed, it might be a different story, but we'll see. As of now, many less educated (on hardware and costs) gamers probably imagine the beast that is a 1.8TFlop PS4 with 8Gb DDR5 at $299, and we all know it's not going to happen.

I would love your crystal ball. The PS4 is not launching a year late and the price won't be $599. MS advantages from last gen are gone. I expect that figure to be higher along with the 720 since many people will be buying both.

Don't forget the 900K that signed up asking for PS4 pre-order info.
