And I don't wanna hear about PS3 shortages seeing as how I see them in every fucking walmart and eb i go into. Just a little FYI ;)

Just because the cheaper consoles are selling more doesn't mean a whole lot.

It's still outselling PS2 and X-Box 360, which are also cheaper.

I don't think the DS will be taken over anytime soon anyways. It's been top of the JAP charts for the best part of a year.

Also, how would the fact that they're in Walmart affect JAP PS3 sales? They may have a shortage over there that isn't in the US.

well wouldn't you think that Japan would be shipped more than 77,000 ps3's?

i could be wrong, i just don't have the facts

America did get more PS3s on launch then Japan did. Also not so sure about this "walking into every EB and Walmart" and finding them, as that's sure nott he case anywhere I've been.

I've found PS3s in 80% of the stores I've checked.

Like I said, if there was any demand, I'd sell 'em on eBay. Hell, when I finally found a Wii, I almost bought a couple extra to sell on eBay.

paypal me the money and i will go buy one TONIGHT SON. Alls im saying is, i could go out and buy a ps3 everyday of the week.

How about no? Does no work for you? Even if I went into a store and they had one, I wouldn't buy it now anyway.

you know you want it

Wow, didn't realize the DS was selling so well. :o

The DS is doing phenomenally worldwide. IT is THE portable hardware. Japan is the place it's selling best, and it's been consistantly trouncing even consoles. The overall global sales are apprently better than 2:1 over the PSP, and it's set records on multiple continents.

I just wish there were more games with real longevity.

still only have 360s over here.
