PS3s no longer sitting on shelves. What's the deal?

[shams]

I would say companies cut down on new shipment orders (it is after Xmas after all), and are trying to get rid of all the existing stock before placing new orders. Especially if units have been sitting on shelves for a while. There haven't been any major US PS3 game launches have there? It wouldn't take much to drive sales, with the console being so "new"...
