SCEE May Not Meet DualShock 3 Demand

via Next Generation


The firm told MCV that it’s planning to make regular shipments of the long-awaited PS3 pad now that it’s finally been released, but that early DualShock 3 supply levels are likely to be tight.

“It’s going to be a close call as to whether we can guarantee enough stock for everybody day one,” said Mark Howsen, SCEE’s UK sales director. “However, we’ll be making regular shipments thereafter, in order to satisfy demand.”

Howsen also said that SCEE will continue to offer the Sixaxis controller for now in order to give customers a “cost effective buying choice”.

The £39.99 DualShock 3 controller was released in Japan last November and in North America in April.
