Jack Tretton, chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment America has told Reuters that Sony is working to resolve PS3 shortages by May and that the company is on track to have shipped 2 million PS3 consoles to North America by the end of March. "April or May is when we feel like we're going to catch up to demand and have product fully in stock across North America and stay there," Tretton said.
When asked about claims that PS3s are sitting on shelves in some area's in North America, Tretton said, "Our goal is to fill shelves across the United States. Our goal is not to have empty shelves, it's to have full shelves. If we have empty shelves, that's one less consumer who could have bought a PlayStation 3."
When asked about PS3 shipment goals, he said, "We're in pretty good shape to do that. The early returns are quite favorable," he said. Sony set of a goal of shipping 6 million PS3 consoles worldwide by March 2007.
