Reason why PS3 not outselling 360, 2 words.. Supply Constrained

Its funny how people in this thread act like they know what they are talking about when I seen Jack Tretton himself say that supply will be a problem....

PS3 has always been more expensive than the competition, and that is the only reason it hasn't sold as much. I would bet you my left nut that if the 360 and ps3 always had the same price point, the ps3 would have sold way more.TheDuffman26

Please. When the Wii was supply constrained did it not destroy the competition? When the 360 was constrained, did cows not say it wasn't a valid excuse? Sorry I'm not swallowing this garbage, supply constrained or not, when you lose and are outsold, you are outsold. Period.

The numbers aren't out. I wouldn't know. I can only assume it did.

yeah that's probably it....PS3's are so hard to find :roll:

I could walk in to any store right now and buy a PS3 in my area

Im on Bestbuy.com and I can order a Ps3 slim right now. No lie. Come on. America is a huge place. Your little area is not even a fraction of how many retailers there are selling consoles.

PS3s ran out during black friday and sony was just to lazy to make any more....(which i got my right when it dropped to 299 back in sept lol)

ive only seen PS3s sold out once at the target I usually go to and that was months ago. I have never seen it sold out otherwise

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] and the ps3 didnt sell well in december?Rza_rectah

Sure, its still not a valid excuse in the confines of SW however.

A few days ago i made a post on how i dont understand the PS3 is getting outsold by the 360 when i recently went into 3 Best Buys and 2 Targets in my area and NONE of them had PS3s in stock.. Well i then realized that the 360 simply has sold more consoles because possibly they just have more consoles in stores.

What led me to conclude to this is just a few mins ago I went to the websites of Best Buy, Target and Gamestop and ALL of them had the PS3 completly sold out online and not avalible for store pick up due to being sold out! I really think even Sony themselves didnt think the PS3 would be this much in demand for the holidays and as a result did not prepare in manufacturing more consoles hence the 360 has sold more not because people want it over the PS3 but because the PS3 is just simply sold out so they buy the next best thing.

If you dont believe me just simply go to Target.com, Best Buy.com and Gamestop.com and look at the 360 console then go look at the PS3 console section and you will see the 360 elite is still in stock while the PS3 shows "back ordered" or sold out. Best buy is COMPLETLYL 100% sold out in stores and online.. on the Best buy website it shows the 120 GB sold out online and not avaliable for store pick up whatsoever while the 250 Gb is in stock but says "Limited quantity"

What he is saying is that Sony shipped out a reasonable size of Playstation 3 consoles but not enough for the consumer's demand. While Microsoft was able to ship several units more. This holiday season I would have to say(I work a my local Sears part-time), the Playstation 3 has been in demand and sold out on several occassions since the price cut. And since we're one of the only retail stores that do layway for electronics PS3(and Wii) we are ALWAYS out of stock. The unusual thing is that when we resupply the amount of PS3s aren't enough in comparison to what we get with the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.

But a retail store like Sears is much smaller compared to Best Buy which had rows of Wii underneath counters of their music section(we have a large store with a large music section) for the holiday season. Not to mention I'm pretty sure there were some Best Buys(at least in the Charleston, SC area) that had large displays of Xbox 360s available throughout store hours all the way up to closing. Still, even with the large amount of Xbox 360 consoles in stock, they were flying off shelves as well. Microsoft(and even Nintendo) were able to just manufacture more of their consoles this holiday season then Sony. At least that's what I believe. I think we had people ask about the Playstation 3 as much as the Wii this Christmas.

Everyone who just about ask for a Xbox 360 was able to purchase one in comparison to the PS3.

TC why are you so obsessed with sales? Can't you just enjoy playing your PS3 games?

Kinda off topic... but do you mind telling me how old you are?

Two words TC: Mon-tage

yeah that's probably it....PS3's are so hard to find :roll:

I went to target, sams club, gamespot and another independent game store today, and I didn't see a single ps3, but I saw wiis and xbox 360s, I wasn't looking though, just remeber seeing the others, not the ps3.

BTW, the ps3 has been slaughtering the 360 world wide anyway

Sony's dominance era is over. get over it. but that doesn't mean the console is bad. this gen is Nintendo that's leading. simple as that.

Jacobistheman

Can you tell me where gamespot store is?

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]Or maybe it is because of aliens or the govt. or M$'s paying them off. I love the conspiracy theories. Myabe it is not selling as well because more people want the other console OMGZ NO......ya but do not let logic get in the way.Kennysolidsnake

Because the store maybe only had 20 ps3's and 60 xbox's?

:D

chikenfriedrice

Seriously, Kenny, just give it up. The PS3 isn't exactly extremely popular like the PS1 & the PS2 are.

Wow. A cow in hardcore DENIAL. Shock me shock me shock me.

I thought TC had turned into a lemming. Why are you not bashing the PS3 TC?

don't remember when or who saidit but i herd that they were limiting stck for the ps3 on the holadays.

and yes I went to best buy and every console was sold out exept the 360

Ehh, every game store in my area has a PS3, but nice try TC :)

2 words Bull... S**t

I work in Gamestop and we still have about 50-60 PS3's upstairs. The PS3 isn't selling much because it costs more than the 360 and doesn't appeal to the average gamer who are interested in the majority multiplats that come out on both rather than the few quality titles that are released on the PS3

actually every store in my town has PS3's but sold out of wii's and 360's

Lol TC is so schizophrenic one minute a 360 fan then defending the PS3 not outselling.What next the Wii's the best mark my words it will eventually get to that stage :o

Terrific therory. Sadly the evidence is against you.

I bought a new PS3 slim under two weeks ago. Their were plenty in stock. I'm in UK.

You just need to accept the fact that the 360 outsold the ps3. Get over it. I went to Wal-mart and Sams Club yesterday and both had plenty of ps3's in stock. If you seriously think that the reason that the ps3 isnt selling like the Wii is because no one can get their hands on one then you need to get a grip on reality.

Stats_

same i mean my local Argos had phat PS3's down to 220 like a week before christmas i actually became tempted to just say bugger it and buy one for a backup asi love the fat ones design more but i decided i should get a 360 then i walked into my local music store and seen a BC Rich and well that story ends with that.

Ijust searched bestbuy.com and they have the PS3 120 and 250 sku's in stock. All retailers near me have plenty of all three systems. I highly doubt it's because there is a shortage of PS3s.

There is more than enough PS3s available. Are you going to offer us 600 dollars if we find one?

[QUOTE="suntaice"]

If they were outsold, shouldnt they be outselling the 360by now?

Kennysolidsnake

I think i'll wait for Sony to give excuses...........
