eBay sales of PS4 soar It is thought the spike has been triggered by people keen to raise money to buy the latest generation of Sony console. One customer in New York told NBC News he had been approaching users who had bought the PS4 in stores, offered them $30 more than what they paid, and then sold the consoles for a further $100 more on eBay. Carlos Fernandez, 24, from New York, said he had sold 13 PS4s since last Friday through eBay, Craigslist and other sites. "It's something I do once in a blue moon," he said. Sony sold one million units of the new console in the first 24 hours it was available in the US and Canada. Andrew House, the head of Sony Computer Entertainment, the unit of Sony that oversees PlayStation, said that "sales remain very strong in North America." Sony previously confirmed it had received more than one million advance orders for the PS4. Sony is hoping to sell five million PS4s by the end of its fiscal year that ends on March 31. Baird analyst Colin Sebastian has said he expects 2.5 million to three million shipments in the fourth quarter in North America.
