"think the biggest miss for us was the launch, in that we had easily a million consumers in North America alone that wanted to get their hands on a PlayStation 3 ... and we had roughly 200,000 units to take advantage of that demand. ... I think that that was probably the biggest disappointment for the first year," Tretton admitted." |
The PS3 was available in stores by Christmas around here. After launch, most of the people ebaying the PS3 lost money on it. Sony may have had a million people who wanted the PS3, but not a million people prepared to pay FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS for it. If a million PS3s were available in North America theywouldn't have sold.
Like I said -- they were available by Christmas in many parts of the country. There was very, very low demand at their price point.
