Hilarious new Sony PS3 article, "shortages will be completely eased by May" Huh?

Please Petewhitley, stop asking everyone else to supply numbers. Why don't YOU provide us some numbers (with SOURCES) that shows us how well the PS3 (or PSP) is selling.

You MUST have some inside information that the rest of us don't; you're the only one who seems to think that Sony is thrilled with their sales.

For PSP I did (look up the "DS vs. PSP" thread). For the PS3, I have no idea. I'm just wondering, because all I see here is a bunch of naysayers who say it's completely floundering, despite the fact that MY LOCAL WALMART IS SOLD OUT (but honestly it doesn't matter, because it's just one store, and doesn't represent the whole country).

And apparently a bunch of people have some vested interest in seeing Sony die, because I suppose they haven't given us any good games or anything (... cough ... God of War, Socom, Gran Turismo, etc. etc. ...). It's just asine to me that purported gaming fans are so excited to see a gaming company "lose". Irregardless if any facts back it up or not.

It's not a goddamn competition (for the fans at least; and if you don't agree with that, you need to really re-evaluate your priorities as a gamer. Seriously.).

And time after time, what we've seen the past several years is that Sony has driven the industry, yet Microsoft AND Nintendo have still been able to give us the goods.

If Sony is dying, it's a BIG FUCKING DEAL for the industry, and something we should all be concerned about, because they've been selling folks on gaming for a long time. If Microsoft or Nintendo steps up to take their place, AMEN. But in the mean time, we better watch and not try bury the very same people who brought us to where we are today.
