The PS3 outsold the 360's first year, even with a $600 price tag. Look up the launch sales of both consoles.

good argument... didn't think of that...

nice one!

Not really. That only happened due to a huge shortage of XBox 360. There were no shortages of PS3. After the initial launch, because were actually returning them because they could sell them for a profit on EBay. That's a fact. Gamestop and Toys R. Us even had signs on their doors claiiming they had plenty of PS3 available for sale because they were overstocked. lol!! Sony also did a price cut on the PS3 just 6 months after launch. Another fact. It wasn't at $600 for long. Research is your friend. Nice one indeed. lol!!

Not so sure about the validity of your facts (no sources), and I KNOW those retailers wouldn't have signs saying "overstocked", it was 599 and 499 at launch, the first price drop came a year later in late 2007.

I'm not running around pulling up links again. I've done it so many times on this site and Gamespot.com. The links are out there though. They didn't have signs saying "Overstocked" They had signs saying, "PS3 Available Here". Here is one of the links just to prove I'm no liar.

Yes the PS3 did sell out in it's initial launch, but right after the holidays were over, retailers couldn't sell them and many gamers who bought one to sell on EBay were returning them. That's why many retailers became overstocked.

Here's a blog with people discussing it in 2007. It's hard to find the links now, but I'm sure there is still a couple out there, with pictures.
