Since this is not the first thread about shortages, I actually checked how many consoles of each were in stock.

Wii: 45

Xbox360: 10 / 25 / 10 = 45

PS3: 45

NO shortages for any console or any game in Germany

The PS3 is supply constrained in the others on doubt.

Whooo!!!! Another of you.  Who are all these people with this cat in sunglasses? Are you all Rock-on?  Are none of you Rock-on?  I'm confused.  Change your avatars.  I don't like being confused.

In my country theres a good amount of stock available.I would say it could have been supply constrained mid-august just prior to the 80Gb launch ,but now theres seems to be a lot of stock.Of Wii too ,by the way.About 360 ,theres always some machines in stock but for what I have asked its just that the stores doesnt commando too much of those anymore.

don't think ist really suply constrained here in Austria and germany atm. a online pricecheck page that has prices and availability lists for many (online) stores in austria and germany lists some shops to be sold out and to have up to 2 weeks delivery times, but there is still more onlineshops that have them on stock and its not only the overpriced shops.

so i guess its just some stores that ordered not enough models and waiting for restocking.

also absolutely no problems to find stores having wii or 360 in stock here.

Sad that i am, I actually checked one Argos.

26 360s over the 3 type available (17 of which here 60GB)
1 Wii
10 PS3

This was only one but the bigger of the 2.

Woh! etc

Why is this always the first kind of thread that appear anytime the PS3 does poorly in a sales week?

Very unlikely to be the case. Sure one or two places might be out but that's not supply constrained.

um hell no, no matter what videogame store I go into there are lots of PS3's

oh slime attack, wh are you banned?
