DS owns December. Who the fuck is still buying PS2's? Microsoft had a really good month. I thought Wii would sell more than that, probably supply constraints. PSP did pretty well, might it start to hit a stride? PS3...on the bottom?!

Sony am cry, and I know the PS3 sales are not due to supply constraints. I was out shopping pretty much every other day in December, and everytime I was able to spot multiple PS3's (not one Wii, however).
You're exactly right about the Wii. The reason they didn't sell more is because there AREN'T more. Not right now, anyway. Wait and combine the sales of all the systems when the January totals come out too.
The launch units sold almost immediately so they won't be reflected in the December numbers. Overall, I think Nintendo and Microsoft are pretty happy. Sony on the other hand...
Go, Zelda!!

People who saw all the 360s, PS3s, and Wiis sold out and didn't have a PS2?

I'm sure they sold virtually every single unit they sent to stores. There just isn't enough supply... not even close.

Yup, as I said a few days ago, this was my experience as well.

Quote:Sony on the other hand...

Sony's shipped numbers were solid though, and since that's all they ever report, they've got plenty of good press material to distribute too! :)

... deceptive material, but material anyway...
