Seeing as how, when Wii's are in stock, it is assumed that demand has fallen, I don't see why everyone is giving the 80gb a pass here, and simply assuming it must have been a monumental shipment. It could just be that they aren't selling through as fast as everyone had hoped. They certainly aren't selling as fast as the Wii or they wouldn't have been in stock for 10 minutes, much less 3 days.

 

If that were true it wouldn't have stayed at #3 this entire time.

 

Not so. It's a common belief on this forum that Amazon isn't a good source of demand of a product, but instead only an indication of the availibility.

Even if I were to concede that Amazon was a perfect indication of demand, that would make no difference in the context of my original argument, since when people say the Wii demand has falled because of availability, it still always manages to be in a top spot on Amazon. Therefore, the PS3 should be subject to the same scruitany.

That said, the 80gb is under Wii Fit and above MK:Wii, which has been out for many, many weeks, making the number 3 spot have a very wide range of possibility, assuming it accurately measured demand, seeing as how the Wii is at least 20 times more popular than MK:Wii, which would be a fair assumptions, imo. Where, in that large gap, the PS3 falls, is indeterimable.

bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

 

No reason to always be so negative regarding the ps3.' :p

 

I think that it wont sell as high as some predict though. I hope for good numbers.. but with the 40 gig sold out, well it's a question of how good the numbers will actually be with only the high priced sku on the market.
