Popular UK game retailer GAME are claiming that the Playstation 3's launch will be stronger than both the Wii and the Xbox 360. gamesindustry.biz learnt that a good supply of consoles means less disappointed customers;

It's very unusual that we're going to be in a situation where we've got enough stock to fulfil demand in the short term – that's never happened before," commented Anna Macario, marketing director at GAME.

It's good news for those who want one on launch day, but the argument seems a pointless one. PS3 should have had a worldwide launch last year - severe shortages meant us Europeans had to wait far longer for a piece of Sony's action. Perhaps the fact they have consoles for us should be treated with the same indifference that Sony have seemingly shown us over the last few months.
