So many experts on supplies and logistics in this thread :P Especially known ps3 h8rs....funny stuff


I think your find it goes both way's. You can't really say anyone is at fault.

I was in Paris yesterday for a friends wedding and while there thought i would check out the shops. In all the electronic shops i went to there were loads of PS3's in stock, in fact i would say there were more PS3's on the shelves then Wii and 360 combined.

Now as others have mentioned that means nothing as the area that is having problems is US. But it shows there are PS3's out there and that Sony has at least got a lot of stock to Europe. If the demand is as high as some on here say in US why has the stock been allowed to get so low?

A lot of people are talking the talk but yet nobody has put up a picture of these supposed shortages. We live in the digital age, we carry a camera with us wherever we go. If people could put some pictures up showing the shelves bare then maybe some would take it more seriously. But thus far we have none up.

A buddy of mine had his PS3 die on him last week, he got YLOD.

Anyways he then went and picked up a 120GB Slim and he told me that he had to check 6+ stores before he finally found a place that had them in stock.

A friend of mine bought his first PS3 about 3 weeks ago, and had the same issue here in Ohio, US.

Maybe the purpose (if it's actually done on purpose) is to help having a bigger boost when Move is launched...

there ARE shortages of supply...

but shortages and hard to find DOES NOT equal totally out of stock and impossible to find.

It seems to me that if you want one you can get one.

what?

I don't go around stores looking for PS3 shortages. Why should one care if they already have a PS3? ;)

I live in the UK too and it's the same scenario in my city. Also the PS3's game section is tiny which means it isn't selling that well at my local game retailer. It reminds me of the Gamecube.

Wow, so someone has to go take pictures of probably as many retailers as possible in order to get their point across, just to get beaten down by the "anecdotal evidence"-card?

 

You on the other hand started this thread to bury the statement that PS3 is having supply problems. You posted a picture and stated that it contradicts that statement (I'm not even pulling the anecdotal-card here). That's not evidence though. You made the claim it isn't, then you back it up. Going "here's a picture of a store that has PS3's" and then thinking you've cleared the hurdle while others should then counter with another picture of a store not carrying PS3's... have fun.
