PS3 Delays????

Whacky has a few theories about the whole PS3 production fiasco. They may be compounding on why there are so few PS3's available.
1) Blu-ray is not ready for prime time. Although the player has been ready for a few months, it's still in debug mode.
2) Batteries. Sony has taken an enormous black eye and even bigger loss with the laptop battery issues. And because Sony is taking anywhere from $200-$400 loss per PS3, execs may have given the hammer on production of PS3's to minimize losses for the year. My guess is that you will magically see PS3's appearing in January and February.
3) 5 games??? That's it??? Plus a really bad back-compat program? Hmm....

So, Sony will be playing catch up for the next year, but my guess is advertising will take care of that.
