It's so sad that some people still believe that Sony can force retailers to take PS3s... It's nonsense (unless you're living in bizarro world).

What a lot of people do not understand is that retail agreements can be complicated.  First is that all stock a big chain like gamestop gets doesn't have to be paid by the retailer.  GameStop can have an agreement to purchase a certain amount of stock but Sony can ship more if they want.  If GameStop bought a lot of stock and do not sell it, they can send it back to the manufacture for a refund.  This is why shipped numbers do not mean that Sony or even MS sold that much to retailer since overshipped product can be sent back.
