My question is will it work with PS4 and or PS3. My assumption is no, based on the clear avoidance of the topic. I need something a little more universally supported than just PC.

This review was posted days ago.... With its dedicated thread.

And to answer your question. The wheel is for the PC only.

Yes it's only for PC but for PS3/4 you already have the T300RS and G29...

I really like this piece of hardware and having a G27 i could use the pedals+shift... But i ordered a new sofa for my house so i have to wait some months before i can get this Little beast...

I've been wanting a T300RS, but since I'm in the market and then this comes out and seems to be much smoother, then I'm clearly a little PC jealous. Maybe they'll announce a PS4 compatible version alongside GTS. It would be in line for them to do so.

They already did. We're discussing it here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/thrustmaster-gran-turismo-sport-edition-wheel-thread.346309/

The original expectation was releasing in late 2016 with GTS. When GTS was delayed clearly the wheel was likewise postponed.

We don't yet know if the TS-PC Racer wheel has the same internals as the GTS wheel or not.

The TS-PC is a belt driven wheel... A better version of T300...
The new wheel will be a direct drive one so even better than the TS-PC...

Amazon.com seems to be the only big American stockist right now.

One more than Canada, sadly!

Thank you both for the replies. I'll check out playseat.com and see what's up. "In stock" is the key term, as Amazon does not have them in stock, which seems a bit strange for the world's largest retailer..

Thanks again, fellas.
