You wish this sign is taped on every store that you go to, don't you?
Want can sometimes outmatch availability. When Sony unleashed the PlayStation 3′s price drop last year at the new $299 marker, and a slimmer version at that, sales rose to 1.36 million consoles sold in the U.S. alone according to figures revealed at 2009′s end. For the first two months of 2010, however, Sony’s been struggling to get PlayStation 3s off of the assembly line and into retail locations.
Throughout the months of January and February, 637,000 PlayStation 3 units have found a home. Heavy Rain has just hit NPD’s top 10 list for the month of February, being one such exclusive that is helping to turn out results for the reasoning behind this result.
Sony’s Senior Director of Corporate Communications, Patrick Seybold, spoke of a tight inventory having an affect on the supply and demand situation, and went on to say, “God of War III which will be a multi-million unit seller and hardware driver is launching later this month, followed by ModNation Racers, Gran Turismo 5, SOCOM 4 and many more.” Evidently, consumers want the PlayStation 3 now with all of its beauties, and Sony is trying to catch up to this widened desire.
