More channel stuffing excuses? Ever since the slim was released, we've been hearing that Sony stuffs the channels from some people.
Channel stuffing only works in the short run, not the long run. With every quarter that the PS3 ships more than expected, you have to somewhere assume they are being sold to consumers. Retailers have their pull in the deal.
And as someone else said, just because the US is one console's most important region doesn't mean it is for the PS3. All the smaller developing countries have something to do with PS3's numbers.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
Conservatives: Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.
