Erm norbit – add PS2 to those global stats would you, since its outselling most everything, and very close to Wii sales. Its current audience and volume eclipse anything around Im afraid.

U kinda have a typo up there, it says 269,000 PS3’s were sold and 264,000 PS2’s were sold and u have the PS2’s in the #3 spot and PS3’s in the #4 spot. Last time I checked, 269,000 was a higher # than 264,000….

@Josh,

I hear you, but I’m not sure how much stock I put into the “constrained supply” line from MS. I’ve seen 360s in targets and walmarts pretty continuously. If you want one, you can easily get one. They may lose the occasional impulse buyer if a specific store is out of stock, but it’s not like people are lining up at best buys on sunday mornings for the things.

To be even fairer 360s have been in short supplys at gamestops for the past few months.. This month (march) we actualy have some in stock. I don’t forsee the P3 beating 360 in march/april.

The Wii could reign supreme if Nintendo could pump out enough consoles. We still sell out every week within an hour

@norbit,

To be fair, MS only has 1 console in the race. Sony has 3. Nintendo has 2.
