What shortage? :/ Well I guess the shortage I never knew about is officially over... Btw why would a company like Sony screw up logistics this bad? I thought they were a hardware company and all that.

and

primogen18 said Shortage? If you mean that at least 5 or 6 sitting in TRU's back room just about at all times except more after a truck  is a shortage... then... I guess so...

laughing out loud so i guess NPSs ps3s 2X sales rise form may had nothing to do with supply meeting demand

Not only that, but Sony stated it, Gamestop (I think) stated it, but I guess people do not wan't to believe on this. Oh well, these new NPD numbers proves it.

 

And Sony did not screwed up, they did all this on because they wanted: cleaned stock, introduced a profitable (for them) PS3 and unleashed it when MS did their move. People at Sony are very clever. 

The nearly double sales from May to June did show an obvious rise in sales, but keep in mind that May was 4 weeks while June was 5. So, it really isn't as big as a rise in weekly sales as you both think.

But even when you consider weekly sales "PS3 spiked from under 40,000 per week in May to over 60,000 per week in June." Check out the link: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/80885/npd-tallies-june-2010-video-game-revenues-in-the-usa-market/ . We are still talking about a weekly increase over 50% with nothing really big for PS3 (HW or SW, or am I missing something?).

I agreed that there was a shortage, just that it didn't double in sales.
