I'd like to see some sort of comparison charts as to how many consoles Nintendo and Sony are producing and shipping to the US. The Wii has sold more than the PS3, and continues to be hard to find--that much is obvious. But how many units is Nintendo pumping out?

I've been trying to get my hands on one for about a month now, but I'm not willing to get up at 9 am to go to a store and wait in line on a Sunday morning. So I've called several stores on more than one occasion, and everyone's still sold out. Gamestop had sold out by 9:05 am or something like that last Sunday.

So the question is, how much demand is there really for the PS3--is Sony simply shipping out tons of consoles, causing there to be a supply at most stores, or is the thing simply not selling? Everyone on the net seems to assume it's the latter, and I'm sure that's at least partially true, but I have to wonder if maybe Sony is just doing a better job at manufacturing their console and getting it to store shelves. If that's just not the case, then the Wii shortages are pretty damn impressive.
