you put shortage in quotes like its a fallacy.

as ioi stated above. This is the first week where his data has shown shortages. I posted before him, hence the quotes.

Yea, the PS3 has been hard to find, but not like the Wii was in the first two years of it's existance where you could make a hefty profit off of e-baying a new unit. Right now you lose money once you pay tax for the new unit, and then pay shipping to sell it. Also up until this week, if I wanted a PS3 I could buy a new one no problem with a tiny bit of searching. I just tried searching now, and my area is now dried up.

Why do you bring the wii into this? Nobody is comparing it to the wii, you are the one trying to show that you think the shortage statement isn't true with your quotations.

Can we not compare things in this world anymore? I'm sorry your feelings are hurt because I brought up the Wii. This is the NA sales thread, I can talk about the Wii if I want.

My point was clearly that PS3 shortages aren't nearly as bad as the Wii shortages were and that until this week (which ioi confirmed) hasn't really hurt overall sales. I used e-bay as a point that the PS3 shortages weren't as bad. I never said PS3's weren't hard to find which constitutes a "shortage" as supply is limited. However, if you wanted a PS3 you could find a PS3. The same wasn't true a few years ago for Wii.

just a little thing :

I m not sure ioi confirmed that, before this week, shortage were not impacting the ps3 sales

he just said something like "this is the first week we really see shortage" that can be interpreted in many ways

what is sure : shortage were not that big before.
