Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House has told Reuters that the PlayStation 4 is facing shortages in Europe for the second holiday in a row, due to the high demand.

"If I look at Europe I think it is potentially, for the second year running, going to be quite inventory challenged," said House. "I'm not going to say you won't be able to find a PlayStation 4. I think it's going to be kind of hand to mouth in terms of that market."

House added that sales have been slowi n Japan, as more and more people are moving toward mobile gaming.

I wonder if Reuters have more PlayStation stories in the upcoming days. They got a chance to talk to the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment and only used two quotes for that article.
