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

 People at Sony are very clever. 

If by "very clever" you mean they completely misjudged the market this gen and lost billions of dollars as well as going from first place last gen to third place 5 years into this gen, then yes, Sony are very clever.

Actually, I think he means "very clever" in that, Sony wanted/needed to maximize profits on a cheaper to build version of the PS3 by slowing/stopping production on the more expensive model.  In this scenario, Sony is very clever.

And yes, Sony lost a lot of money from some bad decisions, but they have overcome many obsticals.  All these years later, after releasing with an expensive price tag, they are still in the race, and they are starting to make a profit.  Luckily, they have saved around 2 billion in profit from their previous generations and can now, hopefully add to that. 

Nintendo has always been profitable and Microsft (after losing somewhere over 6 billion dollars on the XboX brand) is seeing profit over the last year or so.  Things are going well for the big 3 right now.  I just want to see the same happen with the developers, so we can our hands on even more kick ass games.

This! I'm talking about this situation, it was very obvious. We are talking about last June NPD.
