Gamepro.com did an article about the availability of PS3's across America. They interviewed managers of unnamed gaming retail stores to get the scoop on how many PS3's they are receiving and selling.
Here is a little excerpt of what is in the article:
We spoke with one manager at an unnamed gaming retail chain, and he informed us that his store, as well as the stores in the surrounding area, really have no shortage of stock.
"We'll get a shipment of, say, 10 PS3s, and it takes us about a week and a half to two weeks to sell them all," he tells us. "Meanwhile, we get even more Xbox 360 units than that on a weekly basis, and they take us only a week to sell out."
When the manager was asked why he thinks they aren't selling all that well, the manager's reply was:
"People are interested in the PlayStation 3, but they simply can't afford it. The price has alienated most consumers. I can't tell you how many people I've seen walk into the store, ask how much the PS3 sells for, and then walk straight out. And for the people that do buy the system, they never buy any games, probably because they can't afford to. Tie-in ratios for the PS3 have been very bad, since we still have a ton of software that remains unsold."
