@people tired of thread

@people insulting others for coming in here and insulting the OP

stop

@people denying that 300 PS3's could be on store shelves

we already had a thread similar to this years ago and we got showed pictures of systems on pallets. Do we really need to argue this. After that incident I learned that doubting it is stupid unless it is leo-j as he lies like crazy, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter.

Here is a set of images of a Media Market with a ton of Wii's, and I've seen a similar image with PS3's but couldn't find it.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Alright Sony people, let's try and be a little less annoying with replies alright?

So here ya go Reach, I think you're getting crap because people think you're suggesting this as a reason that the latest adjustments could be false, but in reality it seems perfectly in line with the current situation because even after the adjustments the PS3 has the largest differnce between shipped and sold through which matches their pattern of shipping more than the other companies before the holiday season.

According to PostOfficeBuddy the difference between shipped and sold atm are:

"360 - 900k

Wii - 1.3 million

PS3 - 2.1 million

Slightly rounded of course"

Which means that it is definitely plausible for you to see many more PS3's at Bestbuy's around the country and VGC's numbers are still perfectly fine.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.  Why can't more here respond reasonably like this?  It diffuses possibly flamebait without stooping to childish behavior.  

Thanks for saving this thread (well, sorta) and making this forum a better place with your example.

I'm going to have to say bull crap on this.  I'm sorry, but there is no way a Best Buy would ever have 300 systems in a store and if they did, they wouldn't have room on the floor to put them out.  I work at a Best Buy and the most ps3 systems I have ever seen in a store is around 70 and that was around christmas.  If Best Buy has excess systems they are stored in the distribution centers.  So if Sony has overstuffed the channel, you aren't going to see it unless you have access to the distribution centers.  


just for you good sir i am going to go there now and take pictures with my brand new i phone 4! the picture quality on this phone makes me smile, be nack in about a a half hour, it is about a mile away

I wanna go to a BB one day and see some random dude counting how many PS3s or XBox360s there are on the shelves lol


its not hard to count when they are in stacks and the stacks are equal height, simple math will do the trick.  and wow the sony defense force came out real quick to bash me here- i was simply stating that they have a ton at the best buy down the street from my house is all

Regardless, it's not a common thing to see some random person counting stacks of a product at BB. It would be hilarious to see, that's all.

I look at it this way: when the 360 was outselling the ps3 according to vgchartz (preadjustments) and Sony was claiming "we sold this many ps3s," there was a huge arguement in virtually every thread on VGChartz about 'shipped vs sold.'  I think that OP has every right to state how many PS3's he saw on a shelf in a store as anecdotal evidence of at least one store sitting on alot of ps3's.  No where does the OP suggest that this does not count toward Sony's actual shipped figures, nor does OP speculate whether or not these 300 PS3s will sell shortly or not.  

You PS3 fanboys have the hate turned up so fucking high that it is sad.  You come in here and simply throw out insults and smartass replies rather than add anything of substance to the thread.  You are killing these forums with your rheteric and you are insulting folks who are simply making threads that continue on previously talked about topics.  OP has no clear bias that I can see, so why do you assume that he does?  Because your a blind ranting fanboy who can't handle logical discussion, that's why.

Just no.

First off, it's quite obvious why this thread was made. This comes from a poster who has been banned for 'dubious' Sony posts in the past. And this comes right off the cusp of massive shipping #s that 'some' people would find very disheartening. The disheartening part can be seen in all the 'over-shipzed!!' 'Sony does teh overshpzzzed YEARS before the holidays' and my favorite 'suffing the channels...z'

How ironic that you talk about killing the forms when the OP is the true source. THIS is what hurts the community. The real people who can't handle 'teh factz' are the ones making 2-3 sentence OP's including nonsense anecdotal evidence. 300 ps3s? Are you even aware how much volume 300 ps3s equates to?  Don't be dense man... I know you haven't been in this community, but people are tired of this nonsense. And the responses your seeing come from this annoyance.



It's one store. And don't forget that some adjustments were made near the launch of the PS3.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

ME 2! (That was one awesome game) 

I want an in-depth photo collection of these massive stacks. And will most certainly be following this up!

Come on Reach, I want to look foolish. It won't be hard to do now with your trusty camera!



Eh,  I dont trust best buy people at all, they are often times full of shit
