With Heavy rain's failure, all we need now is " Move" to fail to.

Just shy of 220K in the US isn't failure... not in my opinion anyway.

Guys remember

PS3 AND WII ARE SEVERELY SUPPLY CONSTRAINED

The Wii is supply contrained. The PS3 is not.

Sony have said the PS3 is supply constrained. NPD have said the PS3 is supply constrained. I believe VGC even said PS3 is supply constrained. If you're going to say it isn't, you should really provide proof.

Amazon says its supply constrained. Best Buy says its supply constrained, Target says its supply constraine, Gamestop says its supply constrained... But we got one guy saying its not. so lets listen to him

So you can't come up with more than 4 sources on top of my other 3? Then we must be wrong, 7 sources from big companies (one of them being the manufacturers of the device in question) isn't enough to even suspect that their are shortages. Innervate must be correct.

Eh, it's hard to tell, considering some people were hyping heavy rain to be one of the hugest games ever.

People often also use the "only a couple days" card... however, prettymuch every games opening week is only a couple days.

220K is amazing for the kind of game it really is.

Its supply constrained alright.

Thank you, this is the kind of stuff I love to see when there is a debate or argument on something: Facts, evidence. If you had have come in here and listed 4 or 5 sites that had it in stock and I had replied with 4 or 5 that didn't, we could debate over how definitions of "supply constrained" (just because a few places don't have it in stock, doesn't mean that sales are being limited, if people just buy it elsewhere etc.).
When someone just comes in and says it isn't, with no evidence to back them up (what's more, there was evidence of supply constraint in this topic already), it's just a little bit stupid.
