See ..... I KNEW this would happened!  I prophesied it the moment Major Nelson tweeted about shortages.

Last year, the PS3 fans and zealots (mostly the zealots) were talking PS3 shortages through freakin' June!  JUNE!!!  Now some 360 fans and zealots and even just some regular folks are mentioning the shortages just a couple weeks after that tweet and now others are saying they're sick of it already AND even more are saying that they are bogus.

Seriously I wish you people would GET OVER YOURSELVES!  You're KILLING this community with your trolling, stealth trolling, alt trolling and general INSISTENCE on, not disagreeing, but being disagreeable!  Just ......... please stop.  For the sake of peace PLEASE just ... just stop.

Got an example of that?  Now I warned Carl in the past saying stuff like that cause these blanket statements really add nothing to discussions and it could be a flat out falsification without some proof. 

I really didn't want to make myself a target by seemingly calling people out, but it looks like I have to defend my statements ...

That's just in THIS thread.  Do you really want/expect me to go hunt down every case of it in all the forums that cumulatively led to my impassioned plea?

Are the shortages real?  If we are going to be accepting of the PS3 shortages last year due to the large holiday sales of the PS3 Slim in 2009, we should be just as accepting of the 360's for this year due to larger than expected sales during holiday 2010.

Those are just two of many articles I found about this doing the simplest of Google searches.  Yet people walk in a store, see 360's and suddenly the shortages are doubted???  REALLY???

Yeah, its aggravating when people cherry pick the story's they want to believe based on console affiliation and when the burden of proof is put on those that actually have supporting evidence that won't be accepted anyway makes it even more aggravating.
