After early estimates indicated that at least eight million PS3s were needed to satisfy customer demand for a global launch, many industry analysts were concerned when Sony made it clear that only an eighth of the required number would be available to residents of America, Europe and Japan come November.
But with most of the world's populace reduced to smorgasbords of bloody chunks and bursting entrails to fill the black, burst bellies of the hungry undead, Sony no longer anticipate any shortage of PS3s come November.
"With power outages afflicting most parts of the globe and the number of human survivors calculated at well under a million souls, internationally, we feel confident that any gamers who want to buy a PS3 will be able to get one in November," a Sony representative reaffirmed.
Good news for gamers, but what will this mean for launch titles? With the vast majority of Sony's first party developers licking coagulated blood off of their co-workers gnawed, fleshless femurs, or shivering in Tokyo hospitals in the last stages of zombie bite infections, word on the street is that the PS3 might launch with less titles than even the PS2. Bad news for a company that has blundered nearly every step in the next-gen console war.

This sounds like great news for Sony. Microsoft's flow of 360s is still a trickle at best and this the big break Sony needs to satisfy gamers' desire for human fles-- superior graphics. I, for one, welcome our new zomb-- Sony overlord. God, I'm so hungry...
I am confident the PS3 launch will be a total disaster.
Will there be some sort of trade in offer available? Like trade in three decapitated zombies for a free PS3.
They just keep up with the bold statements. Just like "We can release the PS3 anytime," or "It is still launching in Spring," or "All games will 'support' 1080p *cough* upscaled *cough*." Honestly, the only reason I care about the PS3 at this point is Square-Enix support. If SE starts regularly developing for the 360, then...well... I'm wondering why anyone believes anything that comes out of the mouths of these Sony exec's. They just need to shut up until they have something tangible/realistic to show. I don't think I'm alone in being tired of their high-school posture on this console generation. Yeah, yeah. Their milkshake brings all the boys in the yard and it's better then yours blah blah.
