Well the shortages I see are the 120gb PS3, I still see a number of the 250gb PS3.
Maybe its Sony's plan to push the buyers to buy the 250gb model so Sony will make a profit in the process? They figured with the massive games coming out plenty of PS3 will be bought and each one Sony will take a loss that'll tally up huge by the end of March.
Possibly its also the best way to get rid of the current PS3 to bring in the lighter models?
Just my guess. But if there's also a 250gb PS3 shortage then yes Sony is hurting themselves.
