Forums - Sales - Get Ready For Some Big PS3 HW Numbers Sony Upping Supply For GOW3 Launch

Sony Upping PS3 Supply For God Of War 3 Launch

Shipments are flowing in now.

 Sony is making sure there will be plenty of PlayStation 3 consoles available in North America during one of its biggest quarters of the year.


John Koller, SCEA's Director of Hardware and Marketing, told IGN the company is readying PS3 supply for important game releases, including tomorrow's God of War III launch.

"We have shipments flowing in now," said Koller. "As you know we are in tight supply, and the reason for that is because demand is outstripping even what we thought it would after the price drop."

"We have a lot of big launches coming up that we need to make sure we're in really strong supply for, and we will be for when God of War III launches," he added. "We'll be in a tight situation for a little while, but for big launches, and particularly for the titles coming in the back half of the year, we'll be fine."

Recent PS3 supply constraints have put a damper on sales since this past holiday. February's NPD revealed Sony sold 360,000 consoles, good for third place. With a full month of Heavy Rain sales, and the releases of Final Fantasy XIII and God of War, March NPD data should prove positive for Sony if there is ample supply.

They probably have X supply until the new (lighter) PS3s are ready for mass production.  So that X supply has to last Y months.  So each month gets a supply of X/Y.  If you up the first months supply (2X/Y), then the other months will end up with less.

not a very good start for the first week of March.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I don't know why everyone is worrying about stock, there are still 700k fewer PS3s sold than were shipped at the end of December
