SCEA warn of PlayStation 3 drought

SCEA are warning that the growing popularity of the PlayStation 3 could lead to a shortage of consoles available over the coming weeks.

Communications boss Patrick Seybold told MCV “We’re working very hard with our retail partners to meet consumer interest, but the demand is tremendously high for the PS3 and we expect tight inventory in the coming months.”

With big name exclusives such as Heavy Rain, God of War III and Final Fantasy XIII all within the space of just over a month, PS3 sales 276k units back in January could easily be surpassed.
