PS3 and wii shortages will last for months

Great news for Microsoft

http://wii.ign.com/articles/107/1078652p1.html

The shortage could not have come at a worse time either. With God of War and Final Fantasy XIII just hitting shelves.

I think Wii will fix it fast. sony is dumb because now they lost tons of sales that god of war 3 could have cause how the hell they have a shortage and release a system seller?i would have delayed it. they probably think they will get it regardless but they need to understand the initial launch hype is what pushes a lot of people,otherwise they wont get it ,not everyone is like that. also something must be going on because who the hell has a shortage issue for 3-4 months and i heard ps3's one could last till june.tell me something is not wrong because half a year shortage is obviously bs,they can be damage controlling and making believe since the slim and price cut didn't work against 360.

oh and also this was sony's best chance to get any sales they can get because MS got the second half locked down,especially the fall. This looks to be a repeat of 2007 where 360 crushed ps3 in sales on the npd.

Lol at a shortage. Microsoft will rule soon the market. IT SHALL BE GRAND!


How Sony and Nintendo are gonna look like!

Don't know why but this sounds like Damage Control on Sony's part.

I lol'd at the last part though.

"There is clearly strong demand for the PS3 at the moment due in part to its list of exclusives in early 2010 and Blu-ray compatibility. Nintendo's Wii, on the other hand, will not see any exciting exclusives until at least May and its software attach rate continues to decline."

Wii and blueray I understand. But exclusives? LIKE WHAT? Gow 3 and Heavy Rain...THAT'S IT! Do they think people are actually getting a PS3 for games like MAG or White Knight Chronicles? lol.

I, for one, am glad they didn't delay GOWIII. That would of just pissed off a lot of people who already own a PS3. Everyone knew that GOW was just around the corner. If they wanted to play it that bad, they should of bought one earlier.

Dude, Optimus Prime is the hero, never use a hero to represent a villain like Sony. You should have used a pic of Mega Tron getting his ass handed to him by Prime.

Xbox 360 is the good guy. PS3 is the bad guy.

As previously stated, Nintendo will bounce back quickly. Sony, I don't know, but Nintendo is used to this and they've always fixed this problem quickly.

Wii sold out. Old news.

PS3 is teh doomz dayz!!!! lol
I love how Sony tries to act like the shortage is because PS3s are flying off the shelves. Hillarious.

ouch sony.

MS is about to releae a slim and price drop.............and your taking in shortages in a time when you can still gain some ground.

not smart.

While Microsoft continues to gain more traction.

for me i think this is bull..sony and nintendo are screwed for the next months and MS will own this first half of 2010,cant wait for splinter cell conviction and alan wake,while sony doesnt have any exclusive till june for modnation racers and socom 4 till fall 2010,while wii only has super mario galaxy 2 coming out.if i made a mistake about wii please fill in what games i missed,because super mario galaxy 2 looks like the only amazing game that will be this first half

I would have but there were no pics of a Transformer getting destroyed other than Prime on Bing (Images). Besides Im talking about them being demolished, not being a hero (or MS being a bad guy). Because if we wanna go that route MS is the hero.
