Forums - Sales - Walmart : PS3 = $ 389 VS 360 = $ 249

God forbid this is the case, and it would be the most stupid mistake ever, but you don't suppose they're trying to pull a 2008-2009 Wii style shortage and have demand remain high in the first quarter with all the major software releasing?

The shortages are planned, Tretton have been talking abut this since September.
They probably only want to sell 13 million PS3, let the demand build up until the release the Motion controller and most of their software lineup for next year drops then push out the balance of the 13 million they planned on selling.

I could imagine Sony is on a tight budget, selling more PS3 than they planned could be something they are trying to avoid.

If the shortage is planned then Sony will surely mess it up in the end.

The Core gamer who has been waiting for the price drop has already picked it up, now the main market is the grandmas that are looking for the best value when looking for a gift for her grandchildren. The grandmas (who pushed a hoop with a stick) will not be around after the holidays season is over. If Sony is smart then they would stock the shelves for the Christmas shoppers.

Only every other Best Buy in Boston has the Slim. It looks like Tretton wasn't BSing us when he talked about upcoming shortages.

they are going to make it impossible to get one very soon, i'd avise anyone who needs one to get one now

Do you have information that we don't?

Well the PS3 will be on the market for a long while, and you cant make everybody happy. The PS3 will be around next Chritmas as well so whoever did not get one this year will get it next year.

Sony is just worried about keeping the system in supply and sticking to their books/plan. This 1st, 2nd, 3rd place thing is shit we fanboys create. Sony is safe, no developer will ignore the PlayStation platform. Sony dont need to worry, nor do we.
