infexxionSony Denies Lack of PS3 Interest
Sony is claiming that the stacks of unsold PlayStation 3s on store shelves is actually a sign of how well the company is handling supply - not an indication that there is a lack of interest in the new console.
Speaking to Reuters, Jack Tretton, chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment America, says he is pleased to see so many unsold PS3s sitting on shelves. "It's a testament to the fact that we've been able to manufacture and ship units on a greater pace than any previous console," Tretton said.
"Our goal is to fill shelves across the United States. Our goal is not to have empty shelves, it's to have full shelves. If we have empty shelves, that's one less consumer who could have bought a PlayStation 3."
While the PS3 is relatively easy to find, the Nintendo Wii remains elusive to consumers. NPD data for January revealed that the Wii outsold the PS3 on an almost two to one ratio.

Nintendo has shipped well over 4 million, I think the last official stats was 4.4 million sold (VGCharts say 5.2 million) so they've definitely shipped more than Sony has.
