PS3 not selling: True or False?
« on: January 30, 2007, 11:05:56 PM »
Alot of internet rumors are spreading that the PS3 is overflowing in stores and stores are having a hard time dealing with the over supply etc etc but is the PS3 really not selling?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=pd.ts_h/103-0269706-9795001

Not bad for a console that can\'t be sold and nobody wants

I\'ve seen a few show up at local department stores only to disappear a few days later

PS3 may indeed surpass the 360\'s total by the end of the year

edit: Notice the rank of the other consoles

Part of the reason for posting this is that I had to do some research myself after the incredible amount of doubt,  even at this forum (thoughts?) that the PS3 was not selling and it and bluray was doomed.  The large amount of this was unsettling to me.  I\'ve even seen threads that claim PS3 is already a disaster and that it and bluray will destroy Sony and current PS3 owners will be left with an overpriced underused console with bluray (ie Saturn).  And most of the people who replied agreed with the topic starter because 90% of the news about the PS3 out there is bad,  PS3 prices slashed in Japan because units cant be sold,  Sony losing Market share to Wii,  Sony losing billions during 3rd quarter because of PS3 etc

At gamespot and other forums the amount of ps3 is not selling,  Sony is doomed posts are overwhelming.  

According to this link and what I\'ve seen at the stores nothing could be further from the truth

The fact that you\'re driving to each of these stores probably just to look at their PS3 stock is the only unsettling thing I\'ve heard or seen.

Now my take on it.  I work as a rep for Pansonic selling plasma tvs in different stores around Columbus and I see PS3\'s on store shelves in almost every store I go to, week in week out.

there isn\'t a single ps3 to be found in my area.

nothing will please me more than sony gaining some serious ground over the next year, which they obviously will.

I think the problem for PS3 is that Wii is blowing it away so far. Makes the otherwise successful PS3 sales look weak.

I may go buy one today. I\'ll let you know how easy or how difficult it was. This will settle the sales issue by my scientific experiment of going to a store and looking for one.

Just bought one at Target. I guess that means they\'re selling . . . no wait .  . . it must mean they\'re not selling \'cause I just bought one without even trying . . . no wait . . .

i was very tempted to get one after my tax refund but i can\'t push myself to do it just for motorstorm and resistance.

Even after that I\'d have a tough time deciding whether to get sports games and other multi-platform games on either 360 or ps3.

Sold out at the three Targets at my location. I can see a bunch of PS3\'s sitting on the floor in....say.....Biloxi, Mississippi. Where the average wage is a lot less than the wages in the Mid-Atlantic.

Oh...and there\'s always a supply of 360\'s where ever I\'ve gone.
