Comments on: Half a million PSPs sold in first two days

Sony acknowledges the PSP wasn't an immediate sellout, but $150 million in a week is nothing to sneeze at.

I am glad they didn't sell out.

Personally, I think that when a game system sells out, it indicates a complete lack of planning by a company. Why would anyone WANT a sell out? It means that the company lost revenue in additional units that would have sold!

I was EXTREMELY frustrated with the PS2 and Xbox launches for this reason, and I was very happy that I was able to go to my local discount store and buy one of several PSPs that they had in stock. Congratulations Sony, you manage to make everyone happy on this one, and I hope that manufacturers keep this up in the future.

Sony didnt strategize their system very well though. Here in Seattle, EVERYONE is sold out of PSP's, and today I called-
Circuit City
Best Buy
Gamestop
CompUSA
Frys
Wal Mart

All sold out. Yet ive heard on forums that in redneck town, alabama they are piling up. Great market research Sony ;)
Ill just have to wait. Anyone heard of when the next shipments are coming in?
