PS3s pretty much overstocked everywhere.

 

 coming from the guy who claimed that every 360 in North America was sold on BF...



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Keep in mind last month we had reports of the PS3 selling like gang busters and Wii over supply. Then NPD came out and made all those reports insignificant.

So what exactly are you trying to prove with this Thread. You know sales varies from places to places. One of the Walmart I went to recently was sold out of Golden Axe. Does that mean anything? Why don't you go to 10 different Walmarts and investigate. This is like asking one person for a survey and stop. Ok

To be fair, I think we're all seeing Wiis in stores now, but this is more of a case of Nintendo producing more than people not buying them and NPD shows that.

it depends how the employees work. If they aren't lazy and go to backstage to restock the consoles, then probably 360s and ps3s are in stock. MS will not repeat last year's error that they didn't have enough 360 for end of december and january. Sony has a healthy production of ps3s and demands aren't surpassing supply, so it should be all good.
