The PS3 not performing as bad as some claim?

Sintinel said: 1. Comparing Xbox360 to PS3 in Japan is completely meaningless. 2. PS1, PS2, and Xbox 360 were supply constrained at launch, PS3's have been collecting dust on store shelves since December. That those two points pretty much explain why this isn't 'news' at all, and in fact, yes, if people are claiming the PS3 is performing horribly, then yes, it is performing as bad as people claim. And keep in mind, both the PS2, Xbox360, and Wii were/are supply constrained, meaning they would have sold a hell of a lot more if they could have made more, while the PS3's are collecting more dust bunnies than Kwaad's Wii.

You know what. I've been completely impressed by Sony on the manufacturing side. The ability to eliminate the blue laser diode shortage completely, and it took 360 almost 6 months to get over their supply issues? Not to mention a known failure? (Red ring o death) I'm sorry, 360s launch was so much worse it's hilarious. And everyone is overlooking that of course. You mean like the 1/3 of 360 launch that sat on shelves in Japan? You can thank that for the hardware shortage and maybe ask them WTF they were thinking sending that many there when the US was then in shortage for months. The Wii IS NO LONGER SUPPLY CONSTRAINED. Easy to find and have been since early February. You need to get out more. And secondly, why should the Wii be supply constrained at all? It's old technology and easy to mass produce, maybe someone should hold Nintendo to some accountability for supplying their product. Explain then why 360 has never ever broken 300k in a single month according to NPD, outside of launch and the Holidays? In fact, it is selling earily familiar to the original box which should be considered a failure. Remember, M$ lost 4 billion dollars on the Xbox to establish a base to expand from, but they are only garnering old Xbox customers and not new ones.
