For our one reader unable to purchase a PS3, good news. Sony says shortages will let up by May, and the company is on track to ship 2 million PLAYSTATION 3s to North America by March's end. Says Sony Computer Entertainment America honcho Jack Tretton:
Jack Tretton: "April or May is when we feel like we're going to catch up to demand and have product fully in stock across North America and stay there."
But isn't it already staying there, Jack? There already are unsold consoles sitting on store shelves. Your thoughts?
Jack Tretton: It's a testament to the fact that we've been able to manufacture and ship units on a greater pace than any previous console.
Okay... So Sony's been able to crank out tons of machines? That's commendable, and if Sony had sold out every PS3, there would be a backlash. But Jack, aren't you interested in moving more of the existing machines?
Jack Tretton: Our goal is to fill shelves across the United States. Our goal is not to have empty shelves, it's to have full shelves. If we have empty shelves, that's one less consumer who could have bought a PLAYSTATION 3
Did he actually say this? Out loud? In front of other people?
:lol:
