It looks like due to shortages the weekly average HW sales for PS3 in US when there are no big games won't go much past 100k. They sold more PS3 when FFXIII debuted and the following week they are short on supply.

Sony screwed it big time, it's their time before possible X360 "Mini" and they do what ? I wonder what is really the cause of this.

Don't understand how you can br proud of a games console? you're way too involved ..

In other words I'm proud of whats happened, after the long years of low sales of each generation, Nitnendo has finally put a stop to that decline.

again, not seeing a reason for you to be "proud", happy? maybe lol even so, Nintendo have had these sales for like 4 years now ......

Why do you care so much?

But in the gamecubes days no one thought they will be back on top but if you love something with a passion then of course you will be proud of them to be doing good again.

Im Proud of the tasty sandwich I've just eaten. It was a Privilege to consume.

wow at the steep PS3 drop off. I guess FF really boosted the sales and the "shortage" are hurting it.

(last week)

Console	Weekly	Total
	135,072 (-29%)	32,355,436
	133,019 (-6%)	45,713,118
	113,546 (+4%)	22,440,074
	110,574 (+21%)	13,261,608
	37,255 (+31%)	19,177,722
	19,019 (-13%)	51,945,205

you put shortage in quotes like its a fallacy.

as ioi stated above. This is the first week where his data has shown shortages. I posted before him, hence the quotes.

Yea, the PS3 has been hard to find, but not like the Wii was in the first two years of it's existance where you could make a hefty profit off of e-baying a new unit. Right now you lose money once you pay tax for the new unit, and then pay shipping to sell it. Also up until this week, if I wanted a PS3 I could buy a new one no problem with a tiny bit of searching. I just tried searching now, and my area is now dried up.

Im sure people's intentions are not to profit off the PS3 by selling it on ebay, but to buy it to enjoy the bevy of new games recently released at least in 2010 . The majority of retail sales are still brick and mortar, so if a system is not in stores, its not available. Maybe newage shoppers will take the extra time to go out of their way to find a new system and spend the 50+ bucks above MSRP...but not the average consumer.
