Well, the thing is that/. readers have already shown that units are readily available on Walmart.com and even eBay (at about 5-10% premium), so the claim of "no availabilty" is false.
This is also verifiable by walking to your local Toys R Us.

PS2 sold 1 million in opening weekend in Japan, and 500,000 on FIRST DAY in USA.
The 360 has been out for almost 3 months and hasn't made a dent in the market. Read the article, the PS2 is outselling 360.
And there are units in stores now, go to a Walmart, Zellers, whatver you have. They have 360s. But guess what, higher res versions of the same games wont get people to spend the big bucks.
