Why did you feel the need to single out the PS3? It's also destroying the 360 and PSP.

@Crazzy, but Sony is creating artificial demand for the 80GB PS3 in America, if they just ship 100k/month its obvious they will sell out, unlike Nintendo which ships as many Wii's as they can and they still sell out.

Lulz.
I don't know whether to focus on your "artificial demand" quote, or the fact that you believe that Sony doesn't want to sell as many units as it can. Sony is not in Nintendo's postition, and needs all the sales they can get, why would they create artificial demand for a bundle when selling the bundle helps net them more software sales. They're not making a profit every quarter like Nintendo is, so they're in no position to create "artificial demand". There goes that conspiracy theory.
ROFL you showed them there with those nice pictures

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I'm not sure what you're smoking, if you read what I wrote I quite clearly stated multiple times that I had not doubt there were a lot of consoles but that the number 300 wasn't believable and that you exaggerated the number a bit. You posted pics proving me right, and I even gave you credit that their were more than I thought there would be.
In fact lets examine this story shall we?
MikeB said:
A bit exaggerated? I don't think so. But the PS3s were easier to count. |
Hmm it looks like Sqrl said a large quantity he could believe but 300 wasn't believable....and oh whats this? MikeB decided to reinforce his statement by reaffirming that there were 300.
The picture I posted had nothing to do with attacking you and everything to do with highlighting how absurd it was for a store to get 300 Wiis. It would make no sense for a single location to get 300 Wiis in the summer when major locations during the holidays got substantially less than that for their peak shipments. Thats true whether they had 10 Wiis at this store or 600, which is exactly what I said when I posted it.
If you're going to lash out at someone at least make sure you know wth your talking about, ok?
@DMJ: Then why don't they ship more units? They don't have production issues.
Unless they are selling each bundle at a huge loss, so that would explain not wanting to sell many.

Can we at least agree that there are about $50K USD on the floor and nobody picking them up?
