Sony continues to feel the burn from "tight" PlayStation 3 retailer supply. The post-holiday sales remain down since December when the company saw record-breaking U.S.sales of 1.36 million consoles.
"There continues to be incredible demand for PlayStation 3, but tight inventory is definitely having an impact on recent sales numbers," said Patrick Seybold, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications in a statement given to IGN.
Today's February U.S. sales results saw Sony move 360,000 PlayStation 3 units for the month. The company has sold 637, 000 in the U.S. in the first two months of the year.
The company isn't too worried, however, as it expects its first-party offerings for the rest this year will give a much-needed boost to PlayStation 3 sales as retail stock is replenished.
"This year will once again showcase how deep and broad our content offerings are with breakout titles like Heavy Rain, which ranked in the top ten in February with only a week of sales in the month," he added. "God of War III which will be a multi-million unit seller and hardware driver is launching later this month, followed by ModNation Racers, Gran Turismo 5, SOCOM 4 and many more."

the supply issues must be in and around big cities, I had no problems getting one this past week.
