Sony's CEO Jack Tretton: "If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it."

But its kinda funny how lemmings make it seem like the PS3 is EVERYWHERE when it took me a whole week to find a store that had one left. And the one they had left was on hold for a week but since the guy didnt show up I got it.

Aw, come on guys, give Sony a break. Could you at least for one second think that maybe he isn't being serious? His point was to denounce rumors that the ps3 is not selling. Hence, the "If you can find one that..." statement. Why he decided to do it in a arrogant, sarcastic, tone is beyond me; maybe some corporate mouthpieces aren't completely devoid of personality. Try thinking below the literal context...

PS3s have been easily available since January - everyone knows this. what's funny is that kids think that company execs speak candidly about sales and projections to the public when almost 100% of everything out of their mouth is for an alterior motive i.e. creating hype, demand or buzz for increasing product interest. even if a company's product is bombing, there is no chance in h*ll they would admit it. Are people really that irrogant to listen to corp. execs??

I live in Orlando near three major universities, I can tell you right now, it is *everywhere*, and it's not selling. The Wii still has eight-hour lines every time a shipment is announced. Go figure.

If he was indeed serious, than my mistake. I clicked on the link but I recieved some 404 error or something to that effect. However, I'd hope that no one stupid enough to say something like that would rise up that high in a multimillion dollar, international corporation.

"You hit the Crabs Weakpoint for... MASSIVE DAMAGE" "It's Ridge Racer. Riiiiiiiiiiidge Racccceeeerrrrrrr" Is my point proven? If not: 'We would sell a million consoles if we didn't offer any games for sale" *Not EXACT quotes, but pretty dead on*
