And yet, oddly, if you use EB games PS3 finder, every store in your area will have 4+ and are not ordering more. Wow.

Fox News is affiliated with Sony, I remember reading about it in a link in somebody's sig. The Sony hype machine has been out of comission for months now and they are trying to start it back up.

Because of its sad irony maybe? And there was a big resurgence of cows with the Mii Live and rumble news.

If this thread and that article were about the good game shortage, it may have been worthwhile.

Speaking as a Canadian, I think the surplus is only in the US.  I haven't seen a PS3 sitting anywhere since immediately after Christmas.  Even then they were gone that same day.  I haven't seen a PS3 anywhere in my city since.

I think Sony is oversupplying the US intentionally because they think it will keep them competitive against the 360.  Of course, they are screwing everybody else and only end up hurting the consoles image in the US.  Meeting demand doesn't move consoles...releasing games moves consoles.  That was what MADE sony.  I still remember getting my launch PS1 before the world even knew anything about it, and it came with a demo disk with a couple games as well as some new Sony music to listen to (ie. Korn).  The cd portion opened with a voice stating that SOny is all about games and lots of them.  Now it appears that isn't the case.  Which is hurting them more than the price I think.

:lol: Shortages :lol:

Though the common person doesn't know that, Sony going to Fox and saying that the shortages will be over really is more of a commerical than it is actual news. Sony was rather smart in doing that.

The only shortage I see is storage space for retailers to store the PS3's. Target literally has so many PS3's in there little bin that the top 2 boxes are all mangled.

I was just about to say, if people here would use a fraction of their brain, they'd probably catch on that the 20gig versions are selling and they are hard to find. 60gig versions are everywhere.

I heard that Sony was scaling back and eventually eliminating the 20GB version because they actually lose more money on those than the 60GB.

Hmm maybe its a Texas thing. I live in SA, Texas and I have been to my local Wal-Mart, Target, and Best buy and I have seen a few 20GB units and some 60GB units.

Like I said before...PS3 be it the 20GB or 60GB version does not have the demand to be having shortage problems. The 360 had shortage problems for both units for awhile after launch, the Wii has shortage problems not the PS3.

I can say that I did see a PS3 sitting in the glass case at my local Wal Mart in Georgia on Christmas Eve, and many of my friends did as well (small towns and Atlanta). Now, I will say that perhaps this wasn't widespread and there were certain regions where the things were completely sold out right before Christmas, but the systems have been in stores for many weeks... stacks of them. Wii's? None.

Ya know, everyone says they are plentiful...but I have seen a total of one on the shelf this year.... It may be that I live in California, but I have seen no evidence of more than enough PS3's going around.

Fox News is affiliated with Sony

Even if it's not, "Fox News" is a joke in journalism. Someone probably received a Sony press-release and decided it was true, too lazy to check sources and stuff like that.
