Normaly yes but if it is a move to become profitable sooner you cant really blame them.

Well if we don't see those by next month then if they do exist then what bad timing! With FF and GOW3 launching next month they need as many PS3s as possible in stores if they want them both to be system sellers.

I live in the UK and I've had no problem finding 360s where I live so are these shortages just in the US? Because it's like it's selling that much less then it would anyway.. Strange.
