Why the hell is PS3 out of stock

Was TRETTON actually not BS'ing about SHORTAGES?

seriously SONY can't mess up with shortages now!

Knowing Sony, they are doing this on purpose, but all that's going to happen is people picking upa 360 instead.

I know its sheer stupidity

SONY have had since Spetember to realise PS3 demand in America was greater than ever before

Its not difficult to make more units

@rccsetzer

lol this has nothing to do with Japan!

I think rccsetzer is suggesting that Sony underestimated hardware demand on a worldwide level, hence the shortcuts in Walmart and the low first Japanese FFXIII shipment (which was dictated by Lightning bundle orders, and I presume these orders were restricted themselves by low actual availability).
