PS3 stock issues hit UK

'Overwhelming' demand leads to 120GB model shortage

Sony has admitted that the UK may face PS3 stock shortages in the next few weeks.

The firm says that demand for the PS3 Slim in recent months has been "overwhelming" - and that supplies are running out.

"Since we launched the slimline PS3 model, the demand has been overwhelming - running over 20 per cent ahead of our expectations," SCE UK sales director Mark Howsen told MCV.

"Whilst it is hugely pleasing that PS3 slim has been greeted so enthusiastically, we understand that this has lead to some stock issues, particularly with the 120Gb model. We are doing our best to address these issues and hope to catch up in the next few weeks."
