Jack Tretton (ceo scea) WILL save Sony (read and let the thread live)

He already had it figured out last month. Heres a link to an article from late Feb.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070228/tc_nm/sony_playstation3_dc_1

To summarize: He said Sony will finally have enough consoles on the shelves to meet demands in NA. They will meet their target of 2 million PS3s shipped by the end of March, finally keeping up with the demand.

I lol'd when I saw that article last month and figured there would be a good time to link to it. It is now.

If Sony does get 2 million units on shelves in America by the end of this month, and the PS3 sells twice as many units (not likely) in March as Feb; there will be approximately 600,000 unsold PS3s up for grabs. I got these numbers from NPD.

I will save the '6 million worldwide' comment for later.

I know these sales threads are getting old, but I have been sitting on that article for a while.gromit007

Did you miss the point about finally be able to meet demand and have PS3s in stock? If they need to ship 2 million to meet demand, doesnt that mean they should nearly all be sold? Or perhaps Sony just holds back its supply, just in case.

Those 600,000 units might come in handy in the event of a major catastrophe:) That catastrophe being all Wiis and 360s in existence suddenly explode.

Let's try 130,000 PS3s sold in February.

whoa! people really take stuff way too serious. we did not argue about games, instead we yak about crap. how is this game-related?-uHuRu

This is "System Wars", not "Game Wars". And I'm just trying to show how far Sony has their heads up their butts in regards to the PS3.

Oh, we can argue about games, if you wish.  Then again, its not much fun arguing with cows about PS3 games versus 360 games.  Kinda like beating on baby seals...
