Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 Amazon Sales Are Odd

SamuelRSmith on 12 July 2007

What time is it in America when it's 9pm here? Because I've noticed that's when the PS3 sells the most by checking the stock.

Also, does anyone find it odd that Amazon seem to be getting in several shipments a dsy, though only small ones.

I check the stock at one point, check it a few hours later and the number left in stock goes up, check it again later on, it's back down again. Check again, up it goes.

It's been going up at least once a day.

1pm-5pm? As for the fluctuation in stock is probably canceled orders or amazon also receive shipments to its 4 or more warehouses which you could see some lag in the numbers they are able to provide.

The price drop started at the 9th and you can see how there stock has dropped, the increase on the chart isps3's being brought in by warehouses, Just be these numbers alone they have sold 2000ps3's in 2.5 days.

 I thought with UK it is around 5 hours difference (earlier in the US).

konnichiwa - I was aware that it was 5 hours behind in Florida, and I think New Yorj (these are the two states I've visited), but I thought/knew that there were multiple time zones. It got a bit confusing watching TV listings as they gave 3 or 4 times.



BenKenobi88 on 12 July 2007

Of course there's multiple time zones...time zones are dictated by certain amounts of latitude...not country borders...and the US is pretty big after all.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
