Again, this is all anecdotal, I know several people in Florida, New York, Cali, etc. That claim they can't find any PS3s.
I also know here in Indiana you can find a Wii and it's not hard at all. Just like PS3 in my town, not hard to find.
And PS3 ramped a high volume of production already. 1 million units is more than what 360 had available for all of November, December, January, and February. And by the time they hit 1 million (NPD) in March it was available on walk in.
Would you stop spreading misinformation?
MS announced they shipped 1.5m last Dec 31.
Long story short, you're comparing a Sony shipped number to a Xbox NPD number. Sony said they shipped 1m. Just as MS said they shipped 1.5m last Dec (Worldwide).
NPD, Sony has only 600+k sold right now, NOT 1m.
Please compare shipped to shipped and NPD to NPD or shut up.
Wrong. NPD last year November 2005 - 330k, December 2005 -280k. Go look it up. Now NPD is only for US. They may have "shipped" that many, but again that's different from sold.
Also NPD doesn't account for the last week of December. However, since 360 only had 2 shipments last year before January, it's not likely NPD would miss the information. Anyone who was shopping for a 360 last year (me) would know that.
PLUS THAT 1.5 million WAS WORLDWIDE FOR 360, did you forget about that? They never announced they shipped that many to the US, which is what NPD reports. NPD has reported 690k for PS3.
You can't even get these simple numbers right. 197k November + 480k for December. Jeez. Try adding. World wide Sony hasn't said what they shipped yet, just that they shipped 1 million to NA.
