 As IGN notes, the PS3 may be in extremely low supply for its release, which is scheduled to be released on November 17, 2006. Sony expects to put out 400,000 PS3s in North America and another 100,000 in Japan. It still plans to launch six million by March, but for a release date, this may be far too little.
It's a little complicated, so I'll do the math for you folks. There are approximately 300 million people in the United States. 400,000 lucky ones will get a PS3. That's about 0.1% of the population, give or take a few thousandths of a percent.
Sony is still confident, but their system, while still having the quality expected from them, is plagued by a series of issues, not the least of which is price. One can only guess what the PS3 will go for on eBay on November 18.
