Game Daily is reporting that according to the online inventory tracker NotifyWire, the supply of PS3s is actually higher than expected:

In comparison to the Xbox 360 last year, the PS3 has been in stock more often and in more locations for longer periods of time. “Last year, at NotifyWire.com, we tracked several one thousand dollar Xbox 360 bundles which would sell out in less than two minutes after becoming available,” Drake continued. “Just today, a one thousand dollar PS3 bundle was in stock at eToys.com for over 12 hours. This sort of thing didn’t happen with the Xbox 360 until well after Christmas.”

Prices on eBay have fallen as well. Whoops. Of course this doesn’t mean you can walk in to a store and actually buy a PS3, but it does mean you can’t gouge someone on eBay quite as easily.—MEGHANN MARCO
