Is it because of the shortages? i noticed there were not any PS3s at my best buy when i bought god of war 3. Do you think this will hurt sony since one of the most anticipated games realeased and there was no hardware?

It isn't really "hurting" them since each PS3 sale is a loss, and since God of War 3 sold more than most people expected, if anything they've gained more money than if they had sold more PS3s as well.

But in terms of positions, yeah, it's hurt them I suppose, although the PS3 is a lost cause in the US anyways, the gap is just getting bigger and bigger...

Hardware will come, eventually...people will still want the game, it isn't going anywhere and it's a must-have.

It sucks but, in general, shortages don't affect overall sales that much. If people really want a PS3 they'll more than likely wait and get the PS3 anyway later. A very small, I'd guess maybe

A lot of people will do anything to get this game, so no I don't think it will hurt the HW numbers in the long run.

i dont know about shortages because i m not living in usa but with these sales figures ps3 can not beat 360 again in any case in America again.becasue it was most anticipated title for ps3 after MGS4

Do you guys in the US have bundles like us in Europe?

Its the shortages, hopefully sony can ramp up ps3 production soon

yeah its the shortages....i haven't seen a ps3 in any of the stores close to me for a while

i've also asked friends and they haven't seen any either

ioi confirm strong shortages for PS3 in other thread.
