I wish this was the case as I am angling for a $200 PS3, but what will most likely happen is that certain, more urban stores in the OPs district will sell out of PS3s by January 1, 2011 and GameStop will just transfer unsold inventory at overstocked stores to the understocked stores.
Then again, if it is true that GameStop upper management is clueless to the lack of demand this week and has overstocked districts with PS3s, then we may get that sweet deal to save space.
My opinion is that this is not Sony's fault. Sony does want to sell 15 million by year end and this is the time they are dropping the bulk of the PS3s onto retailers. Sony does not control how GameStop manages their inventory. Sony ain't Wal-Mart where they can go to pickle farmers and tell them how to farm. Sony nor Nintendo nor Microsoft has or will ever have the power of Wal-Mart.
This is the fault of the upper management of GameStop spending too much time golfing and not enough time reading internal analysis reports for the current demand for Sony products. Either this or GameStop is stocking now to be stocked well into June 2011. Either way someone does not know how to do their job and communicate on down in the proper manner.
No communication just like choosing to be silent or choosing not to act is an action.
