Manufactured shortages bite my ass.
« on: November 13, 2006, 09:45:46 PM »
Are there going to boxes and boxes of unbought Wiis just chilling at Gamestop et al. while the 360 am a brisk seller, thanks to the price drop (mark my words) and the PS3 is unobtainable?

I hate this fucking short supply, manufactured shortage bullshit. Unless the PS3 is a total rush-job - heh - why can't they get more of them to the people? To the people that preordered?

Man will be killing their fucking fellow man over this shit. I hate Sony.  :punch

Pretty complex piece of hardware. You've got a processor architecture and optical drive technology that are both being mass-produced for the first time.

And that was the same for the PS2, I guess it really brought DVD into the mainstream (not being sarcastic).

It still chaffs me, though. Seems like you HAVE to have THIS because NOBODY ELSE will have it.

I believe it's more money driven. The free press is just a glorious side effect.

Generally speaking, "component X" will cost more in 2006 than it will in 2007. So a company stands to profit (or in Sony's case, lose less) if they can artificially delay their launch.

Does it matter? It's not like anyone really wants a PS3 anyway.

You don't think the entire userbase of the PS2 is pretty much clamoring for a PS3?
