Sony Computer Entertainment has confirmed that there are stock shortages of its PS3 console in the UK, MCV reports.
The studio put the consumer demand down to the release of the slimline PS3 model, which has exceeded its expectations. It added that it is doing everything in its power to rectify the situation.
"Since we launched the slimline PS3 model, the demand has been overwhelming - running over 20% ahead of our expectations," said sales director Mark Howsen.
"Whilst it is hugely pleasing that PS3 slim has been greeted so enthusiastically, we understand that this has led 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."
The demand for PS3 consoles is expected to surge in the next month due to the release of several high profile titles, including Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII and God Of War III.
I think this shows that the ps3 is becoming the "must have" console of 2010, Some cracking games coming out in the next few months too!
