as someone stated that the stacks wouldnt make sense this close to kinect launch, i just went in there and poof the stacks of ps3 in the center aisle are gone, they were there yesterday- i asked an employee where they went she said in the back because they are setting up for kinect and that is where the setup is going, it looked crazy because i go in there 3 times  a month or so and they always have SOMETHING THERE....there is absolutly nothing in the 20 foot gap center aisle exept a few stacks od dj hero 2, kinect dispays being set up later today- so i am truly sorry for not being able to provide pics and i no ridicule will be coming my way and i feel like a ass for promising pictures and not being able to come forward i really wish i would of took them yesterday

300 isn't that much, it matters about the location. Also hardware sales this time get much higher, so a higher stock is nessesary. Also, Best Buy doesn't put out all their stock onto the floor, so I know you're lying. 300 my ass. Way to make things up. Than because of one case, even if this was true, which it is not, one case doesn't mean anything. Also big places like Best Buy will carry lots of consoles, especially since the Move release.

I dunno how long you think PS3's and 360's stay on the shelves. A company buys what they want, and when their stock goes under healthy ammounts, than they buy more. Say this Best Buy wants to hold 500 for the Holiday season. So they buy 500, and their stock gets to like 40-50 left, so they order more from Sony. They buy 400-500 more to meet demand and go to their maximum levels for the store. All because you see a store have stock after resupplying their stock means NOTHING. And unlike people don't seem to get, they don't buy more than they can hold. They have a preset ammount of systems for different seasons. It's nearing the Holidays, with Black Friday not that far off and with a release of Move which sells systems. Retailers want people to choose them for this, so they will carry maximum inventory for such an event so people go to them first! Than let the stock die down after the craze.

Do you people not know how businesses work? They are in the business of making money for THEMSELVES.

Bah. Should I lock this for being purely anecdotal?

Congrats for making me come back...

Seriously dude, you're not in the position to whine about people with set beliefs, as you have set beliefs yourself. You trolled the PS3 in the past, why should you have suddenly changed?

Anyway, I admit that I have a little Sony bias, but I'm not trolling, I'm not insulting people for no reason or anything else. Furthermore I'm a supporter of all 3 consoles and companies, so... you don't have to pray for me...

You don't want to be labeled as "sony people"?  that's a bit more sensitive than I expected but alright.
