The other thread was getting too long.
Sony is continuing to get destroyed at every turn for their brilliant strategies regarding the PS3.
The 2/12/07 Penny Arcade deals with an interview done with Sony Computer Entertainment of America's head cheese, Jack Tretton, in which he says that he'll pay $1200 if anyone can find a PS3 sitting on a store shelf in North America for more than 5 minutes.
Needless to say, MANY people want their money, including the PA guys.
Read the whole thing. EGM points out that they found about 20 when the article was first done. Others commenting are all throwing their two cents in about the availability of PS3s in their regions. Hell, in the interview the stupid ass actually admits they're sitting on shelves: "...but if only 9 of the 18 stores you contacted had supplies, that seems to be a clear indicator that sales continue to be outstanding."
What a lying weasel.
First of all, he JUST SAID that he challenged anyone to find one on shelves. Then he claims selling out in half the stores is doing well.
No, it's not dickhead. Not when you under shipped in the first place. Not when your competitors, BOTH of them, are outselling your units by a huge margin. Not when your company has no chance of making a profit on these machines. Not when one of your competitors is already making a profit on every machine. Not when developers across the board are all praising your competitors' dev kits and bashing your kit. And certainly not when you arrogant fuckwads thought this would be a good way to force your new technology into the marketplace.
