Amazing resistance from the Doncaster forces. Surely no one will ever beat this incred…

Bristol takes the lead. Only send us a photo if it’s over 200 from now on.

A proper web site will be along to confirm these figures are correct shortly with proper research and maybe a quote from Chart Track, just in case you don’t believe us [link will go here]. The ball’s back in your court, Threespeech.

Choices, by the way, tried its luck at selling 50 of its launch consoles on Ebay for the official launch price during launch week. You can imagine how it went. They sold three.

If we don’t start seeing some Wiis out there PRETTY FUCKING SOON we’re going to have to start another war. Honestly. It’s like you’re not even trying. How hard is it to put Gamecubes into white boxes anyway?

And this is what the living rooms of Ebay users across Europe look like. Never before has there been a bigger difference between “shipped” and “sold” figures.

SAYS THE SENDER: “This was taken this morning at Argos in Bolton – near the Reebok stadium. It’s worth mentioning that while they had 46 PS3s in stock, they only had two Xbox 360 Premiums in stock.”

SAYS THE SAME SENDER: “This was also taken this morning but at Argos in Chorley. 44 available!! Chorley has a population of about 4.37 people. So, since the huge Tesco there still has original launch PS3s for sale and the local GAME and Gamestation stores are now proudly boasting their first ‘in-store’ stock – I can’t see many being shifted over the next few weeks.”

Coventry. Well done, brave citizens.

Colliers Woods, London. Same hilarious un-shifted box story.

Nottingham. Even the city of pikey mobile phone thieves hasn’t sold out of PS3s, which is pretty shocking as its Sony’s lowest-common-denominator heartland.

Another Argos. The sender either didn’t say what branch it was or we lost the email.

“Just” 25 left in Shepherd’s Bush! Better hurry down there in the next 18 months if you want one.

Camden – 31. That’ll do.

Camden again, from someone else two days later. It’s probably just a coincidence, eh?

This person didn’t say where it was. We didn’t ask as we’re sort of in a hurry to upload this and shame Sony to the world.

Maidenhead.

Malvern Argos. Sitting on a few.

Scunthorpe! Who would’ve thought they’d have fancy electronic displays in places like Scunthorpe?

Sheffield. Not exactly sold out. That’s your lot. Make of it what you will. Thanks for all your hard work. You have once again outperformed all other readers of all other ex-SEGA blogs.

FROM MANCHESTER: “This was taken in the Manchester Arndale Shopping Centre at about 4 o’clock on Friday. Guess Virgin Megastores are desperate to get rid of the 328 PS3s they have lying around” – Phil, Manchester.

And if someone from Sony Europe says this is due to “stock issues” it will be the single biggest lie in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD. It’s quite unlikely that a press release will be issued about these figures.

PS3 is now a 100 percent verified disaster! And if you believed Chart Track’s “165,000” you now have to believe Chart Track’s “82 percent drop”. Poor you.

Happy days. Some photo we used either today or last week came from the person who does this. It’s a link to some student radio, so you don’t have to click on it. We’re just being polite.

FROM GERMANY: “I’m a Brit and I live in South Germany. I thought you might like to see a picture of the unsold stack of PS3s in the local MediaMarkt store (Huge German Electrical/Electronic Chain). I usually go into the store at least twice a week and the stack hasn’t moved in the past week. Only 599 Europounds. Hardly compares to the XBox 360 which is 299 Europounds. All the best, Colin.”

Nobody queued outside Nook’s when PS3 went on sale, either. We should also link to Mr Biffo’s awesome anecdote about Phil Harrison. If you like reading stories about people under great stress going mental in public, this is ideal.

We have literally 100s of photos like this. And WANT MORE!

This was taken by a reader in Argos, last Friday. PlayStation3 launch day. 33 left. In just one store. 165k? BOLLOCKS.

THEN HE SENT THIS ONE: “I emailed you last Friday with pictures I took in Argos in Lincoln, showing that on launch day they had 33 consoles left. Well, I dropped back in there today and had another look. Needless to say, the results were… a little surprising. 64 of the buggers! Either 31 people were really pissed off with their purchase or Sony decided to add more supply, given that demand is so high…”

Then, yesterday, we got this. This was taken in Argos in Bury. 62 available. In just one store.

And we got this one from somewhere in Northern Ireland. This is not us being crazy, or relying on anecdotal evidence from one or two people. It’s a simple fact that PS3 has not sold. 165k is a lie. The truth will come out. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day.

…a joke to think that Mario could ever compete with Sonic.
