PS3 was sold out,
you forgot?
Lol.
I worked at a Toys R Us "r" zone during 360/PS3/wii launches.
We got 6 PS3s and sold 3 of them if I'm not mistaken, in the first few days. Then some scummy dude with a shitty suit came in trying to look all professional and tried to buy two of them with fake visa gift cards. He had a bunch of them, I guess loaded with stolen credit card data or something.... I sent him away and called the police. We couldn't move our first batch of ps3s for a week or so.
Wii on the other hand, had 66 consoles on day one. Our little storage room was full of Wii towers. We were sold out before noon. And that was before the craze really exploded. Wild times.
360 sold out day one. 18 consoles I believe. About half in the green box (4gb?? Lol)
Can't wait to get a switch and Zelda soon. Plenty of stock in my current location (shanghai), just shit pricing currently. The sellers told me it'll be cheaper next week, lots of demand so they are selling it currently at about 430 US dollar for Japanese systems. And it'll be around retail price in April. I can wait. Barely.
