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.

I got mine from Argos too, sadly they had no Phats :(

The PS3 is probably going to outsell the Xbox 360 for Dec, Jan, Feb, and Mar worldwide. It will probably outsell the Xbox 360 in the US too for a few of those months. To do that in the US is incredibly hard though, since well it's the US.

I honestly dont see how the wii has sold so much last month.. Every store i walked in had TONS of wiis piled up, unless Nintendo has just manufactured a crap load of them

Every store you walked in =/= all of the U.S

I could find PS3s during boxing day at Future Shop, Staples and Best Buy. Thats with U2, Killzone 2 and Infamous thrown in for the same price tag of $299. Its circumstantial sure, but so is your ""evidence" TC. . How do you know the 360 or the Wii arent sold a city over and the PS3 is in oversupplied. How do you make such a major generalized assumption when it involves the purchasing habits of millions of consumers across numerous continents based on how well three stores in your part of the world are doing..

This clearly isnt the reason, Im pretty sure anyone who goes out to buy a PS3 will go and look somewhere else for one.

[QUOTE="Kennysolidsnake"][QUOTE="suntaice"]

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

Maybe december NPD will show the PS3 outsold the 360 and if it didnt then its simply because Sony didnt have as many consoles in retail stores as MS had 360s.. thats the only reason why the PS3 would get outsold because if the PS3 is outsold almost everywhere and 360s still in stock, that would be the only logical explanation.

i agree. i had to buy a ps3 for my friend the week of christmas. and the only place i found a 120 gig slim was newegg.com,so i think your right. ps3 either outsold the 360 or the stock was to low to outsell it. the demand was there. ms`s only chance is to put the elites at 199 starting jan 1st. or they will risk falling into 3rd place by the end of 2010. they cant wait for natal or halo reach. they gotta act now....

I remember being able to find PS3's the first holiday season when they came out. No I don't think thats the reason or that there is one reason. Heres a few for you:

1. The PS3 was a **** ton of money when it came out and they price of both the other systems combined.

2. For the first 2 or 3 years it was out the 360 dominated game-wise.

3. The Wii is more family friendly.

4. 360 had a year head start, but PS3 didn't blow the doors of it power wise.
