They are just saying they sold 100,000 units to retailers for that week. Hate to break it to y'all, but we are not Sony's direct customers. Retailers are. Whether the retailers have been selling all their stock is up in the air, as there really hasn't been any observations that show increased PS3 interest at retail. I find it highly doubtful that they have, because in my district (over 16 big box stores that cover 3 states), sales have increased marginally and we still have the original 40 gigs in stock. The interest still doesn't seem to be there. |
Well, the 3 gamestop shops around me sold out of 40Gb twice already. They keep getting more but they did sell out twice in a little over a week.
Also I doubt that after the 20Gb/60Gb fiasco at launch retailers would be filling their stocks with lots of PS3s. So even if Sony is counting sales to retailers I don't think the retailers are stupid to be stock pilling them.
