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

FastFord58 on 16 March 2010

If PS3 doesn't sell more than 360 in March I am going to come in here and shit all over this thread and the constrained supply excuse that I hear about 20 times a day.

Just pre-warning lol.

Damn it, botched the joke -__-



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

"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."

There are so many inconsistencies and contradictions in this....

Eithere you can meet demand or you cant?  I dont get this stament at all.

I think it is more of an issue of you reading too hard to find something negative, let me make it easy for you.

 

" we are in tight supply because demand is outstripping what we thought it would be after the price drop. "

 

Satisfied.

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.

sony will win march NPD in the console catagory


What do you think will be PS3 hardware sales on God of War launch week ?

hard to say b/c the way gow3 is released 16th for NA and 19th for Eu and not even the same week for Jp, vgc weeks will be 3/13 then 3/20 so for the week ending the 20th gow3 will only impact EU for 1-2days so HW bump will be spread out for the 2 weeks of the 20th and 27th

 

i believe it will be

week ending 20th >235k WW

week ending 27th >250k WW

They will scrounge up some more units to ship with big game launches but are pretty much shipping everything they can?
