Don't know if it's worth mentioning but the Wii has been in stock most places in the US during February. Demand drop or supply rise... you decide. :D

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.

[PS2] 90K
[PS3] 240K
[PSP] 160K

I do see the PS3 overtaking the 360 in Feb. Just have this hunch.

Biggest February evar? I wouldn't be terribly surprised.


Wii has been avaible on amazon the whole february month. That can only mean two things: either Nintendo was able to increase suply or demand is gone.
 
Am I a fool to believe that Killzone2 will sell PS3's? I thought there was a buzz around this game and as a result the PS3?

[PS3] 400k
[PSP] 170k
[WII] 700K
 
Another potential hardware impacting event in February that seems to have been forgotten: the PS3 had a pseudo price drop for two out of the four weeks because Best Buy gave away a free $50 giftcard with purchase and other stores matched that offer. For one of those weeks they even threw in a free guitar hero bundle.

Eh, I wouldn't say the Wii has been available everywhere in the month of February. Yes, the last couple weeks saw stock consistently available at Amazon or Gamestop.com, but I still haven't been able to walk into a store like Meijer or Target on a random day of the week and see three or four systems on the bottom shelf behind the glass.
