so SONY and online retailers are lying?

it is NOT in stock in amazon, it is in stock at a 3rd party retailer who sells refurbished playstation 3's for $369.99

and SONY AND NPD have said it is supply constrained, so who do I believe? Retailers also have very limited if not no stock online and locally, so again who do I believe?

Amazon says they are in stock. I don't know, why would ioi lie?

You're new here, so I won't put a MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS picture here! :)

But, that thing you said it's not uncommom at all, especially in the past 6 months.

look deep at who's selling it.

You are accusing IOI of lying that is pretty serious.

@CommonMan

Not going to argue about whether or not ioi is correct, but you kinda just disproved yourself. You see how your post of Amazon says "Ships and Sold by Worldwide Distributors." That's not Amazon, that's a 3rd party selling through Amazon.

The mutually beneficialy symbiotic range calculation formula advises me to report you for not using capital letters!

but amazon is not the whole market!
Maybe they just under ordered, who knows!

Since pretty much everyone else have ps3s on stock, that's the most plausible explanation.

Ah, I didn't know that, I thought if it was there they were Amazon's machines. Well that clears that up. Thanks!

Hmm. . . well, I'm still not going to call ioi a liar.
