I've been going to my local Best buy for the last 2 weeks attempting to find a Wii. This post is not an attempt to say that the PS3 is not a good system because I think it is a great system when you look at its longevity and value and I will be purchasing one. I used to think it wasn't a good deal but when I actually really looked at it with an honest mind and heart, I came to the conclusions that although its very pricey, its a really good system and comes with a ton of great features. However, I will not be purchasing one until the price drops and more of its great games such as MG4 and others actually are released.
Back to my point. For the past two weeks I've noticed that my local Best Buy strangely had a large supply of PS3s for it being such a new and great system. I don't really think anything of it until I kept going back in day after day trying to find a Wii. I kept noticing that while I couldn't find a Wii and I found that xbox360's low in supply, the PS3 did not seem like it was moving at all. They had 25 Ps3 systems when I first went in and after a two week period, they still had 21 systems. I've heard rumors about the PS3 not selling well but this really made that point hit home. According to a recent study, Utah had per capita, the highest number of gamers in the USA.
If its not doing well here, I think its a good indicator of how its doing throughout the rest of the country. How its doing in Japan and the rest of the world, I have no clue. That really sucks for the PS3 because I think it will be a good system in time. But I cant remember a system, this early in it's life span, with such a good supply of system for sale, doing so poorly. Bye the way, I still haven't been able to find a Wii!!! sucks!!! Thoughts anyone? I took these pics with my camera phone.
