So I guess we can call GOW3 a system seller huh?

@ Max: there's no indication that their PS3 numbers are sellthrough. No reason to change anything until actual proof is provided.

Sony really needs to fix their US Supply issues.
It is still sold out in most major metro areas and they are getting little new stock.
Sony must fix this lest they wish to continue digging their own grave.

I bet they could have sold at least 50% more if there was not a supply issue in the US.


Why are they digging their own grave? They are just in the third year of a 10 year lifecycle plan. So don't be anxious. Much more spectacular titles will appear for PS3. And who really want to play God of War 3 will be buying a PS3 throughout this year.

PS3 undertracked by almost half a million on VGchartz?  The numbers aren't shipped numbers so it seems so.

I think it is the most recent shipped numbers. It's the same as the most recent shipped numbers so it would be a bit of a coincidence if thats not what they are.

So by your logic then there are less than 500,000 PS3s on shelves in the whole world??  Weren't there reports of Sony shipping around >34mil and people here were saying that's shipped.  So if they shipped over 34mil then 33.5mil sold to customers is more believable.

I don't know about all that kind of stuff, but some site saying "33.5" when they do not appear to have any sales background doesn't really come across as a factual source.
