Shipping quotas: more for Canada come February-March |
Ó
Along with another round of applause from the consumers, here comes another round of PS3 shipments for Canada. And you thought that only Best Buy branches in North America were getting new stocks of the console? Think again.It's just been announced by Sony Computer Entertainment Canada marketing and public relations manager Matt Levitan that the next couple of months will have new PS3 shipments coming in. "You'll probably see a lot more on the shelves in February than you will January," he says, "and probably even more in March than you did February."
He also gives a statement that they could have sold more if they had more units at hand. "The demand is far exceeding supply," he adds.
The specific number of units arriving in Canada wasn't revealed, but do you remember Sony's expectation from last year? They intend to ship six million PS3s worldwide by March 31st of this year.
You guys think they can make it past their self-imposed quota? They've already announced over one million units shipped so far in the U.S. alone. With the European launch looming ever so near, plus this Canada shipment promised above, (not to mention shipments in Japan) the six million target is more than do-able for Sony.

Yeah, this is gonna help the availability at the Euro launch, isn't it? Get the console launched in Europe with enough numbers. Sony made that mistake with the PSP. I don't want to have to bribe the shop owners again.
One exclusive title to play and that's why I see PS3's in Canada now. Not even Motostorm will stem the tide. The reason why they're gonna ship to Canada is they saturated the US at this point in time. That's not good for a supposedly wanted console.
The 6million was always planned for North America. They have differnt and SECURED shipment numbers for europe. You guys use a differnt power wattage so they cant get mixed up.
My local walmart store has like 10-15 spare ps3's in stock.
$ony we got plenty of ps3 in here and no one is buying them. The next generation already started nov 2005
""The demand is far exceeding supply," he adds." Retailers around the country have tons of ps3's sitting on shelves collecting dust. I'm calling that quote bogus.
Thats funny I thought at least 1 millions people must have wanted the ps3. You fools said the same thing about the ps2 and it crushed everything. I dont understand why you would want any system to fail. If there are multiple platforms available There will always be great innovations from them. Otherwise they stagnate. You should all be rooting for all the consoles. You people bashing any one system are fools because every system on the market has very positive strengths unique to each console.
all it takes is for one game to get all these fanboys to switch sides. they are as loyal as their pockets allow. if your local walmart has 10-25 ps3s you must live in a low income area or you go to a walmart that is in the middle of nowhere. where i live there is never ps3s or wiis in stock...ever. competition creates creativity and brings out the best. its not console wars is fanboy wars.
I live in the small province of nova scotia (in Canada) and It's impossible to find PS3's just about anywhere. Even places like best buy and ebgames have no PS3s. I doubt that bigger places, say toronto or vancouver with a much bigger population has a surplus of PS3's gathering dust. - Infact, at my local 'super store' you can't find a wii, PS3 or even PS2 for that matter. But sitting proudly on the shelf with a layer of dust? A good 20 Xbox360s.
PS3 here at SONY Metreon store in San Francisco are always sold out. People are always lining up whenever they hear that there is a new shipment. Collecting dust??? you mean XBOX 360?
ummm heath come to NY and tell me if you can find multiple ps3's sitting on shelves..... it is possible to get them once they come in but they are usually gone within an hour or 2. my gf works at ebst buy and she even tells me once they get them they are gone very quikly and she cant purchase 1 for me because the store wont allow her to purchase it during working hours or soemthing like that
We'll be alright over in Europe, we just need Sony to ship over some of the Japanese console that aren't selling and we'll be fine...
i live in mississauga just outside of toronto right now well as of last night just in the stors around me there are at least 10 ps3 in each stor 20 and 60 gig packs i went to walmart and the best buy as well as the eb's around my place they all had stock and the guys selling them said the stock has not really move since xmas .i went in to to and to duffrin mall and they had stock my friend picked one up .i just do not see the drive to get one right now one game and the system is like 900 bucks .as far as the x box there are a few around but they are selling very well you cant beat the system and 3 games a controler for less then 700 . you get pg3 arcade classics and gears or rainbow six for free , as far as the wii goes not a chance in finding one . and this is me looking for all 3 systems in the last 5 days .i just do not see the ps3 selling as well as they are saying as of right now it is not a good deal to get one even adding the hddvd player to the 360 it is still a beter deal .sony needs to find a better way to sell this thing and they will wait till summer .
