Update: As of today the situation remains the same. (6 April 2010)

PS3 out of stock at my city's largest console retailer:



Flooded by XBox 360 arcade units:



I guess the PS3 sales will see good gains for the fiscal report ending June 2010 if by then the PS3 is the widely in stock again (US, UK and European countries). The XBox 360 seems to be overshipped, so sales may take an extra drop when stock drops to normal levels.

Was in Game and HMV today in london and all consoles were on the shelves, did not seem like any shortages to me.

Out of curiosity in those pics mike why does one pic have different stickers on the games to the other? ;)

leo-j and MikeB reporting on PS3 shortages great work guys. PS3 demand is not being met by the limited supply of PS3.
PS3 shortages reported worldwide. Upward adjustments need to be made to PS3 console sales numbers.

Also just a quick online check for that hard to find 120gb PS3

So unless you get your consoles from dodgy daves warehouse your have no problem finding a PS3 in the UK as it is in stock in every major games retailer.

wow, ps3 seems be huge in netherland... today I saw stats numbers for my shop area for march, it' about 13 micromania (my area) for about 400 micromania in france in total... i can't see the national total but for my area  ps3 sold near 1000 and 330 for 360 (it's just for only 13 shops, can you imagine for 400?!!)
