That old SUPPLY chestnut rears its head again, I see :p

Wasn't there some old Sony PR with that guy that used to work at Skyy Vodka that said each store had to have 30 units in the store to be considered "in stock"?

Edit: Found it.

David Karraker from Sony Computer Entertainment contacted us to clarify what the term "supply constrained" actually means. Here's the official explanation.

The industry standard for a product to be considered to be in an "in-stock" position for a store is 30 units per store. This would be the level you would see for a PS2 or Xbox 360. At this level, retailers will feature a product in their weekly advertising circulars. If you are not at this level, retailers can't guarantee consumers will find one if they go into the store and they most likely won't support your product in weekly ads. Although you can indeed find PS3s in stores currently, we are no where near an "in-stock" position.

Deus Ex must've posted some crazy numbers to be number 1 after five days of sales.

NCAA 11 sold less than 110k on the 360 last year (So I guess less than 200k all together) so maybe not, still, pretty good numbers.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Good Zelda
Obviously way higher in the individual chart, right?

Gamasutra.
If we believe the 218K figure for the PS3 (est. from MS PR and Nintendo PR) then I was ~144K off. Not horrible, considering how crazy the figures could have been this month. Nailed the Wii figure.

Wow, I hit the NDS one right on the fucking mark. Perfect prediction on that. I was pretty bad on the others though.
