Limited Supplies

The Playstation 3 has had development problems for a long time. The system was supposed to be released in the spring of 2006, but do to problems with the Blue Ray software they had to postpone the release until November 17 of the same year. Altough the wait is longer it is good because if they had tried releasing the system in the spring it would have cost at least $1200. By Sony waiting half a year they were able to cut the cost in half. The system has so many diiferent parts from different companies that it takes Sony a long time to make them. For the release date the Sony corporation is only scheduled to have 400,000 systmes for a worldwide launch. This is very few compared to the Xbox 360 which had 2 million for their first release, and the Xbox 360's were sold out when the stores opened. This just shows that the Playstation 3 will be in very high demand for a very long time.
