Down with Sony
Good news for Microsoft and their HD standard here.
More good news for Microsoft (and Nintendo) here.
It has become something of a ritual to miss production marks for a new console. Sometimes it looks like it is to drive buzz, such as the Xbox release last year. However, with Sony coming neck-and-neck to the market with Nintendo's Wii, they needed to avoid this.
It sounds like all Playstation 3's aren't sold out in the retail channel (either that or they greatly missed their target production), which I have to take as terrible news for Sony, as they insisted their $500-$600 price point wouldn't scare away consumers. Microsoft had a banner month for the 360, and Nintendo had a better launch than they hoped, selling more than double the number of PS3's.
I don't honestly believe any of this forbodes doom for the Sony juggernaut, but I can hope.
