Haha. Yeah that is kinda funny. But of course, shortages can have many reasons. Maybe a batch of components are defective, and they need to order new ones, etc. These things happen. Nonetheless, Sony is well on its way to shipping 12mil PS3's this fiscal year.
Whatever the case with Sony's shortages, at least one good thing came out of this... People advocating the PS3 had shortages finally have evidence and a strong source... Although, I believe all the stores that didn't have the 120GB model was more than enough evidence. I live in Puerto Rico, and Gamestop told a friend of mine a week ago that there weren't anymore PS3's on the island (at least in GameStops).
All in all, this makes much more sense than the stupidity being thrown around in threads recently. People (VGC members) are now going from "THE PS3 IS NOT UNDER-TRACKED! Sony's financial statements are misleading!!!" to "Well... it maybe under-tracked, we just don't know where".
