Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
Rejoice, Sony fans! The company has noted that the PlayStation 3 shortage in the U.S. is no more. The console moved 305k units in June, up from 165k units in June of 2009, according to NPD.

"PS3 inventory issues have been resolved and June 2010 marks the 11th consecutive month of year on year growth for the platform," the company said in a statement.

Sony noted that there are nearly 13 million PS3 units in living rooms across the U.S. and that hardware unit sales are up 85 percent since June 2009 and 42 percent since January 2010.

"Video games are fueling new innovation for the entire consumer entertainment category and today's numbers are a testament to the big impact we'll play this holiday," said Patrick Seybold, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications at SCEA.

"With a healthy flow of PS3s back in the channel, and eleven months of PS3's consecutive growth behind us, we're confident the PS3 will become the main entertainment hub for many new consumers this year and provide countless reasons to congregate in the living room."

There was a shortage? Everywhere I've ever gone there's always been PS3s in stock.

Yeah I agree, I wasn't aware of the situation until I got out of work today. I saw a few stores finally get a shipment today. Every store in our area only has the 120GB models and I haven't seen a 250GB in a while.

You weren't aware? We talked about it on a podcast a few weeks back. :?
 
It definitely depends on the region. Near me, there was never a Wii shortage...they've always been around. The PS3 however, has just recently become plentiful.
