The Tech Grinch’s Christmas List: No. 1 PlayStation 3
No argument about the most wanted and yet hardest to obtain in our list of the ten gifts the Tech Grinch is holding onto this Christmas…
No.1 The Sony PlayStation 3 - If you’re in Europe, the PS3 has yet to launch, if you’re in the US and Japan only a lucky few hundred thousand will be playing on the PS3 on Christmas Day, while thousands of others hawk theirs on eBay to the highest bidder.
Sony sold less than 200,000 at launch in the US last month as supplies were even tighter than the 400,000 it predicted. It has forecast 1m being sold by the end of the year but Liz Osur, Citigroup analyst, predicts 500,000, with 1.5m units of Nintendo’s Wii selling out in the US as well.
The countdown:
10. An Enzo Ferrari 9. Halo 3 8. The $100 Laptop 7. The iPod wannabes 6. Pleo the dinosaur
5. If I Did It 4. TMX Elmo 3. The iPhone 2. Windows Vista 1. Sony PlayStation 3
